A season for every sport and a sport for every season was ap- propriate in 1977-78 at PV. After fall with football, winter with basketball, the freshness of spring brought track season. Winter was not forgotten, however. As track practice began, snow and ice forced track members to abandon actual field work. Tracksters were forced to train within the confines of Parkview's concrete halls. It was a long hard winter, indeed. Coach Woody Jolley, track coach, was optimistic at the beginning of the season in spite of the inclement weather and its consequences. lt wasn't just Parkview that was ham- pered by the snow. Everybody in the state went through the same thing, so we should come out even, he said. We will contend, he said, be- cause we are starting with some of the best runners in the state. Of course, Hall won it last year, and it hasn't lost anybody, so they'll be in there, too. Mrs. Coreen Frazier, coach of PV's girls' track team, thought the hard- ship of indoor practice did the team good. lt's always good for the team, if they can learn to overcome adver- sity. It was really quite a sight to see. Teachers and students were aware of the sight to see as they dodged the pummelling Patriots prac- ticing after school.

Shootin' stars con't. The development of exceptional basketball and other athletic skills lay in the hands of the coaches and their staff. Head basketball Coach Charles Ripley stood out in the amount of time and effort spent with the players. He was like a second father. He treats us niceg he really cares, said Peterson. Rip often took the football players as well as the basketball players to Fayetteville to see the Razorbacks play. He picked some of the players up for school if another ride was not available. Not only does he help me personally and financially, he also helps to prepare me for life in general. He is just a great friend, said Michael Harding. Coach Ripley led his Patriots to a 13-3 conference season and four tournaments titles. Though his record as a coach was outstanding, he also proved to be the players' best friend. Up and over.
