RIGHT 0 . T1-IE WINNING EDGE After a winning streak of four games in a row followed by a losing streak of four in a row, Coach Harold Treadway expected the junior Lady Hornets to get back on the winning side. This expectation helped the girls to a 30-14 win against J .A. Fair in the ninth game of the season. Be- fore the next game Lisa Charleston, a starting forward, sprained her an- kle, but the team managed a win. The girls came back from behind in the second half to beat the War Eagles again, 42-37. According to Coach Treadway this was a good group. Overall, I think we've had a successful year. There were a lot of surprises and some of the players really im- proved. It takes a dedicated person to participate in junior athletics. The girls have to be dressed and ready to go at 7:00 a.m. The junior Lady Hornets ended the season with a 9-7 record and went on to Lonoke for the District Tournaments in February. .asv- W K . i-Tnla5sifi1'f ' . it ' fe ul I Concentration Kristy Beezley is caught in inclecision during the game against Jacksonville North which the Lady Hornets lost 28-51. fr .se Up lor a shot against Jacksonville South. .loanie Da- vis scores two, leading the Lady Hornets on to a 41- 23 victory.

ILL T0 W N DETERMINED T0 SUCCEED Competing individually in- volves many pressures. The thought of breaking a school record thrills the mind, but the thought of not qualifying for a final heat looms overhead. The day comes to reap the re- sults of a daily practice. After the initial excitement of qualifying for the state meet, the reality sinks in and the need for more training sur- faces. The will to Win overcomes a desire to quit. W'hen the moment fi- nally comes, Weeks of hard prepara- tion will be demonstrated in a frac- tion of that time. W'hen the results are recorded, and the ribbons are distributed, there is only the individual and his or her accomplishment. Thoughts Wander through the mind . . . Could I have run faster? Could I have jumped higher? Could I have thrown further? The '86 senior high track team displayed the pride that Oak Grove valued so highly. Mike Davis placed fifth in the state high jump after only one year of competition. Steve Shrigley placed seventh in the shot put While Lee Hunt qualified and fin- ished tenth. The 800 meter relay team also placed seventh at the state track meet. Those who participated were Greg Jackson, Victor Williams, Flint Turner, and Gary Williams. The girls kept up With the win- ning pace by placing second in the district. They sent the 400 meter re- lay team to the state meet. On the re- lay team were Christy Hill, Tonia Williams, Laura Havens, and Kris Chandler. Tonia Williams partici- pated in the long jump, while a for- eign exchange student from Ger- many, Claudia Reusche, ran in the 800 meter and the 1600 meter races. Every individual contributed to the team. Their determination and efforts made the team what it was. To the individual though, remained the memory of his own accomplish- ments. He remembered the hard Work and long hours spent to perfect his performance and in return re- ceived an everlasting sense of ac- complishment. SENIOR BOYS TRACK First row: P. Haynes, R. Wagner.
