I JUMPING FOR JOY, Senio Leonard Klckson ls jubulent after PV's defense shuts down an opponents drive on the goal line. QN THE IELD Potriots expected to ccipture AAAAA crown ighlighted by the re- turn of twelve starters from the 1979 varsity team, the Patriots were favor- ed early in the season to finish in the drivers seat in the AAAAA conference. In pre-season polls the Patriots were ranked second only to defending champion Little Rock Hall. Being ranked number two in the state doesn't mean a thing right now, head coach John Kelley remarked, We probably have the toughest road schedule in the state. Kelley's statement acturat- ely described the fatal season the Patriots were to suffer through. The Patriots opened the season with a road trip to Mississippi to battle the larg- er Greenville Hornets. Led .by senior quarterback Joe Rice and running back Jerome Sims, the Patriots began the year on a winning note whipping the Hornets 21-7. Sims led all rushers with 104 yards on 14 carries. With one win under their belts and a seemingly stable team, the Patriots travelled to Fort Smith only to succumb to the Northside Grizzlies. Kelley and his Patriots were shut-out in a hard fought game. Despite the loss, dreams of a conference title clouded every Patriots mind. However, early in the first half starting quarterback Joe Rice fell to a shoulder injury which was to sideline the senior for several crucial games. Junior back-up Scott Pah- low stepped in and took control of the Parkview of- fense. Despite his inexper- ience, Pahlow proved to be an Cont. page 62 Q , 1 A 3, It L iii. I 1 fg, -.

We weren't champions, we were winners s the close of football season rolled around Patriots found them selves 5-7, but that didn't kill Parkview spirit. There were more sport events, basketball season started soon and after that track. We didn't have a winning season this year, but I still had fun during the season. After a Friday night game there was always a party to be found or a disco to attend. Many people think of sports as football and basket- ball but there is much more to lt. Track and volleyball for instanceg we had a good cross country team and the volley- ball team dld great, even with hardly no fans to cheer them on. Everyone is blaming our football season on the players but the coaches have a lot to do with it too. I think the players put forth their great- est effortg although, in the end, there was a lack of confidence and team effort. lf the football team had as much confidence in them- selves as they do in the Y-Teens Powderpuff football team we might have done better. A game!59
