Bettw Ludc Next Yeav 24 “It was a long and disappointing season, but I think if the guys pull together they can have a really great ball club next year.” -Nick Cline Losing hurts more than winning feels good. This quote was made by a Boston Red Sox player after they were defeated in the World Se- ries. What does this have to do with Pawnee City High School Football? This statement tells what the Indians felt-a lot of hurt. The Indians started their season with a win over NCL but could only conquer one other team this year that being Falls City Sacred Heart. The boys put in a lot of time, a lot of sweat and a lot of sprints but the year wasn't to be theirs. Pawnee seemed to be pla- gued by injury causing many grid- ders to sit the sidelines. Don’t get us wrong-many good things happened too. All Confer- ence selections included Jason Kennedy. D.J. Weddle, Jim Brad- bury, Mike Lang, and Doug Bedea, with Kennedy also receiving the Omaha World Herald Academic All State award, and recognition in the Beatrice Sun as player of the week. As all athletics do, this year boiled down to the thrill of victory, winning the FCSH game in the last seconds; the agony of defeat, being beat by Odell; and the fun of the game, Ice Box Blecha converging the extra points. The boys that came out for football left the field in October as men who had learned, taught, and grown; no matter how the record ended. 1986 Football Team: Front Row: Nick Cline. Shane Friedly.

Indim Doum itloii The community of Pawnee City was expecting big things from the 1986-87 girls basketball squad and the team did not disappoint them. The girls tal- lied an impressive 15-4 record this year. They also brought home the Gal- axy Conference 1st place trophy for the 3rd year in a row. This year 3 such athletes were honored with all conference awards. Gina Koll and Tina Glynn were named 2nd team and Nicole Buss was named to the 1st team. Nicole also received the honor of 1st team All-State in the Lincoln Jour- nal and Star, and 2nd team All-State in the Omaha World Herald. The year ended in mixed emotions. The girls did not win the key games that they had hoped to win, and be- cause of this they felt the grasp of dis- appointment, but they worked hard, had fun, and won a lot of games and for this they felt pride in themselves and the Pawnee City Basketball Pro- gram. “We took Galaxy Confer- ence for the third year in a row, I hope next year the Indians can carry on the PCHS pride. Gina Koll Coach Stitt- Now which way are we going girls. Tina Glynn- I got it covered. 1986-87 Basketball Results PCHS OPPONENT 59 FC High 29 44 Tri County 36 48 Southeast 21 42 Filley 34 48 Tecumseh 47 57 TR 30 49 J-B 50 49 Humboldt 28 52 TR 33 57 Wymore 27 57 Sterling 42 53 FCSH 38 38 Lewiston 51 35 J-B 48 59 Humboldt 36 42 Southeast 29 49 NCL 39 51 NV 22 38 Weeping Water 40 26
