Homecoming '83 brought many changes to the regular Saturday sporting events. It was the first time the girls soccer team was involved and Minnehaha hosted archrival Blake in all four games. Despite a slow start, the volleyball team began the festivities with an easy win. The match’s starting time of 9 a.m. was apparently too early for most Indian fans. This was surprising, because at a pep fest earlier in the week, Coach Dahl had challenged the student body to come watch the Blake Bears eat volleyballs. The girls soccer team played at 10 a.m. to a 2-1 victory over Blake, enhanced by their best fan support of the season. At halftime parents were recognized and presented with a carnation. As is tradition, the bleachers were full and fans crowded around the field for the boys soccer game at noon. Despite the fan support and unseasonably warm and sunny afternoon, the Indians found themselves trailing 3-0 going into the fourth quarter. Two quick goals by Jason Crocker and Brent Gustafson made the game exciting, but it wasn’t enough as Blake went on to win 3-2. Players parents and cheerleaders were recognized at halftime. The football team, which also enjoyed strong fan support, found themselves in a predicament as they faced a 20-0 deficit late in the afternoon game. Senior Jim Farrand accounted for all Minnehaha’s scoring as he returned his second kickoff of the year for a touchdown. The Indians put together several long drives only to have them stopped short of the goal line. Blakes defense stood strong, leading them to a 28-6 victory over the Indians.
