Pushing For Victory Coaches, Mr. Lon McCasland and Mr. Frank Dewald, pushed their boys to win. With two hours of prac- ticing a day, three days a week, they finished the season with 2 victories and 5 loses. It hasn ' t been a great year for the team, but they gave a lot of effort. Mr. McCasland talked about his team, They did really well. If they could have put more out during the week, the games would have been ea- sier, but they never quit! Brian Rhodes, a player on the team, stated, We ' re not worked too hard, the coaches only expect us to do our best. Then he added, When we feel like giving up, our coaches are the ones who keep us going. As a specta- tor and cheerleader, Rita Suchanek said, They gave it their all, so it doesn ' t matter if they won or lost; their will-power made up for it. . . 83, 34 .22. .35. ' v, W 3e i a2 1.

Hard Work Pays Off With Gold After coaches Jim Schwerdt and Clay Erro picked forty out of the hundred and fifty students that tried out, practiced them over an hour and a half a day. and gave it their best effort, you can believe that they were slightly disappointed about not being able to keep up with last year ' s undefeated team. They gave it their best shot, and when Travis Misner was asked what keep him going he commented. The desire to be the best. While Jason Sehon said plain- ly. Willpower. The team ' s most valuable player turned out to be Chris Kuykendall, who played good offense and defense. Besides being good on the field, he was a very emotion- al leader. Even though the coaches didn ' t expect Chris Guerrero to play as well as he did. he surprised them and did a good job with offense, defense, nose guard, and turned out to be a great defensive line- man. With all of this. Chris was consid- ered the most improved player. Looking at the overall picture. Gold did well coming away winning 5 and losing 2. But as stated by Mr. Schwerdt. The players that stuck out the season were fun to work with, and they gave us prob- ably the best possible effort they could.
