hattered Dream , Q Season Closes With Dashed Hopes Offense made its mark on the field lso. Racking up 280 yards total offense n a losing cause against Gaffney and 00 yards against Wade Hampton in a 4-7 victory. Speciality teams also played a major in Maverick victories. Charles blocked two punts this sea- both ending with touchdowns. But, with all good football teams, it is the 1 as a whole that wins, loses, or ties. Most definitely a team effort, 6076 de- fense, 40'Z1 offense, said Coach Larry Frost. The team experienced pain, sweat, and defeat all season. Yet, the sweat was dried and the bruises and cuts were bandaged, victory was a sweet feeling. All in all, the team stuck together through thick and thin and proved that Mauldin football was back. Todd Bal- lew It's a heartache .. , Pat Tate, Howie Martin, and Mrs. Virginia Wallace read the news of the Mav's vanished playoff bid. The State High School League voted against the Mauldin appeal to play in the playoffs. iPhoto by Greg Wyattj D it Football Team fBottom rowl Calvin Kelly, Ben Phillips, Mark Brown, Pat Tate, Andy Lyda, Tony Verano, Kevin Riser, William Sentelle. fSecond rowj Larry Frost, Cade Hopkins, Sammy Dixon, Glenn Spencer, Chris Mitchell, Rodney Hughes, Mark Ross, Howie Martin, Reno Brock, Bucky Trotter. iThird rowl Duke Fisher, Stan Hopkins, Mark Hendrix, Todd Dunlap, Glenn King, Ricky Click, Marc Seay, Charles Thomp- son, Scott Crawford, John Worley, Carrol Long. iFourth rowi Raymond Whitney, Bart Cuma- lander, Dee Timmons, Jimmy McLees, Jimmy Reid, Greg Catron, Greg Taylor fFifth rowl Ricky Smith, David Wilson, Todd Ballew, Mark McCall, Chris Walker iPhoto by Stephen Babbl varsity Football 7

' Finall W Scored Hillcrest Bows To Scoreless Mavericks Going scoreless through six games and only Winning one game, the J.V. football team had a long, hard season. Coach Don Frost said, The season was rough because of losing and having to build upon our mistakes throughout the year. With a 1-8 record the young men continued to work hard to practice at least eight hours a week. The team, with twenty freshmen and fifteen sophomores, was relatively young. Mike Kerley explained, I felt we were young and inexperienced but will be far better next year because of our learning from mistakes and improv- ing throughout the season. The highlight of the season was the team's win against their arch rival, Hill- crest, whom they destroyed with a 13-0 victory. The only other games they scored in were against Laurens and Eas- ley.
