Tri d to Fill Var it Shoes 'gAll the players work hard. I hope next year will be a good one for the jayvee teamf' says Shawn McCarthy. '4We worked very hard toward an undefeated season, remarked freshman coach Joe Ledl. The freshman footballers worked hard last year. They had two hour practices every day after school. Coach Ledl described a nor- mal practice, uwe stretched out first, then weid do calisthenics and agility drills and usually ended with a scrimmage. Ron Stokes commented, uSometimes in our practices weid play ghamburger., One per son would run the ball and Q as Q13 - . another person would tackle. It was a one on one practice.

Varsity Basket hiefs Shoot for Victor Due to a tremendous 12-1 start, the '80-'81 var- sity Chiefs compiled the best basketball record in Kickapoo history. They also established themselves as a tournament-winning team. During the season, the Chiefs captured first place in the Hillcrest Roundball, Greenwood Blue and Gold, and Aurora Tournaments. The Chiefs not only were winners on the scoreboard but were winners as players. They showed this when they were awarded the sportsmanship trophy in the Greenwood Blue and Gold. The Chiefs didn't stop their victorious ways at tournaments though. They proved to be a major force in the Ozark, finishing with a league record of 21-6. Kickapoo fans had to wait nearly two months after the basketball season started to see their Chiefs at home. But exciting, high- spirited games made it well worth the waiting. Coach John Rotenberry said, I was real pleased with the team this year, but I hate to see them go. I was referring to the outstand- ing senior members who will graduate soon. Among this superb list of players were Preston Stringer, Scott Loveland, Hal Mc- Clelland, ,Ieff Gigax, Scott King, and Tom Carlew. All have had very successful high school careers and will be difficult to replacef, 6'We had a good season. I really enjoyed playing this year, remarked Preston. There is no doubt that this year will go down in the record book for Kickapoo basketball. Win- ning makes a season seem short. Maybe that's why this season flew by!
