AN ACHIEVED SEASG lunior Varsity Statistics Prove A Winner Coming off a losing record from previous years, the lu- nior Varsity football team shocked many as they hurled themselves into a District Championship. We had set three goals for this season: to have a good year, go unde- feated and be the District Champions, said Coach lim Palmer. Two of these goals were reached by the Hornets, although they fell short of one by losing to class AAAA lacksonville North and Hot Springs Central. We played a close game with these two teams, something most people wouldn't expect, said halfback Ronnie Andrews. The team did play well as they lost to Iacksonville by only one point. Unfortunately for the Hornets their leading rusher, larvis Conic, sat out of these two games due to injury. Conic, an all-district team member led the season with 401 yards total offense, followed by Ronnie Andrews with a total of 301. As well as a rushing game, the team had an outstanding passing game. All-District Quarter- back Iack Dollarhide passed the ball for a total of 408 yards and 19 receptions. Statistics proved the Hornets gained a lot of yardage as they watched for the champi- onship and gained a district record of three wins, no losses and one tie. ALL CONFERENCE.

WINNERS CAMPUS Experience is . a necessity The undefeated junior high volleyball team had an exceptional year. Coached by Ioan Adams, the junior high girls captured the dis- trict championship with a no-loss record. The varsity team consisted of four fresh- men who were returning starters from the previous year. The experience we had because of our returning starters contributed greatly to our winning season, said Cindy Lindsey. Preceding the district tournament, which ended their season, the junior girls became eligi- ble for senior high volley- ball. Four of the girls on the junior high team went on to play with the senior high. It was neat. We thought our season was over, and then we got to play with the sen- iors, said lana Turner. These four junior high girls were Cindy Lindsey, Tracy Kirby, Millicent Henderson, and lana Turner. We had a good year. Al- though we had little experi- ence in our line-up, the girls worked hard for what they got, said senior girls' coach Cathy Digby. The senior girls completed a double- elimination tournament with second place which quali- fied them for the regional playoffs. Losing the first game of the regional tourna- ment ended their season. With only one returning starter, it's hard to make it to the top, and experience is a must for a winning team, said Christy Hill. SENIOR HIGH VOLLEYBALL.
