A Battle To The Finish The White Warriors ended with a 3-3 season, and they fought all the way. It started with a bang when they de- feated the Purple Vikings. The next week ' s defeat against West Valley brought bitter feelings from the players, but then things started look- ing up when they crushed Las Plu- mas and held Anderson back for two wins in a row. Unfortunately, they lost the last two games to Red Bluff and the Gold Panthers. Overall it was a great season, and the coaches expected as much from such a fast team with a strong defense. Coach Bill Asnicar said, I hope the team had as much fun as we did, and I ' m sure some of them will play junior varsity football next year. Each game they played was very ag- gressive. They worked as a team. We worked really hard and were en- thusiastic, said Scott Porter. Their play that was the most fun was a bounce pass where the quarterback, Brian Seamans, threw a bounce pass to Nick Greer, wingback, who ran the ball for about 20 yards before being tackled. Each and every player gave it their all to produce the power and strength needed in the games. It took teamwork and courage for the War- riors as it was A Battle to the Fin- ish. a1 ■ SCORES White 16 Purple White West Valley 12 White 14 Las Plumas 6 White 8 Anderson 6 White 14 Red Bluff- 22 White 6 Gold 20 118 White Football

Ol S6tf£ (Ath ' let) Definition: One trained in exercises or games requiring physical strength, skill, and effort. No better definition could be used to describe Nova ' s athletes. To be successful, all three of these elements have to be balanced evenly. The reason why Nova was so successful was because some of the finest athletes from the three high schools attended here. Sports in which one could participate in ranged all the way from cross country to golf to basketball. People tried out for all sorts of sports. Whether they were big or small, they gave it their best shot. It was hard work and determination that was reflected in Nova ' s athletes, such as Nova ' s Gold Football, who were ranked number one in their league. Nova ' s athletes undoubtedly made waves in their skill, speed, and sportsmanship. 1. Sean Kauffman, 33, goes in to help a teammate. 2. Jennifer Carey gets a good start at a cross country meet.
