'Sports Bfulfl Soccer team remains undefeated B255 Spring sports filled the trophy cases, as Bruins won championships in tennis, golf and soccer. Hole in one! Well, maybe not, but the senior high golf team still had a good time. The good times included two wins over Bryant and winning the district tournament with Doug Stevens, freshman, as medalist with a 79. Seniors jeff Gingrich and Carson Hampson made up the first two players with Lundy Colvert and either Dietrich Maune or Ray Minor the third and fourth men. It was fun to get out of school early just to play golf, but I wish my strokes were better when they counted, stated sophomore Ray Minor. In spite of playing against number one ranked Benton in a three-team tournament at Sheridan, the team finished the season with a record of 3-3. The team also finished fourth, five strokes out of first place, in a five-team match against Lake Hamilton, Lakeside, Sheridan and jessieville. Coming off an undefeated season in 1983, the Bruin soccer team was challenged to duplicate that record, and in spite of a young team composed mainly of seventh and eighth graders, they were equal to the task, posting a 6-0 record. The hardest team to beat was Catholic the second time, said Michael Compton, who was outstanding player of the year for the Bruins. The game was scoreless after regulation time which called for a shoot-out. The Bruins won the game 1-0. Michael Lindsey, the youngest member of the team, was leading scorer with seven goals of the team's total of 19. The Bruins also had a tough defense to go along with their powerful offensive attack. l think the defense was the most fun, said goalie lake Lassiter, who only gave up five goals the entire year. The unbeaten record gave the Bruins the championship of the Metro League. Fast flnish. Sophomore Tracy Manning anchors the senior girls' 800 meter relay team which came in first in the district tournament.

.Sports gd Rob Dowda takes state title G A state championship for senior Rob Dowda in the AA State Tournament highlighted the season for the tennis team. The boys captured the district title by placing two singles, Rob Dowda and Craig Smith, and a doubles team, Brian Landers and Rick Dowda, into the state tournament. Rob Dowda was district champion, defeating Smith in the finals, and Landers and Rick Dowda took the district championship in doubles. Dana Baxley was runner-up in girls singles, qualifying her for state. The girls' teams were runners up in district. ln spite of the 0-6 record posted by his baseball team, Coach james Cole said, I had fun. The season came to a close for the Bruins when they were eliminated by Vilonia in the district tournament as senior pitcher Steve Crane walked in the last run. The game ended early because of the 10 run rule, with Vilonia winning 14-4. The winless Bruins were never lacking for support, and freshman Kris Gillian was quick to comment on their faithfulness. They were a strong support to us and helped us through the ups and downs of the season. In track, the senior girls led the way, scoring 10716 points in the district meet at Harding. Tracy Manning was the team leader, placing first in the shot put and long jump and third in the discus and high jump. ln running events, Deborah Pike placed first in the 100 meter high hurdles and third in the 300 meter low hurdles. The 800 meter relay team, composed of Manning, Pike, janet Eiseman and Donna Warmack, also took first place, and the same team placed second in the 400 meter relay. Dedication, desire and talent helped these girls a Iot, said Coach loni Littleton. They are the best group I have coached. They are a very exceptional group of young ladies. Also at the district meet, the junior girls placed in eight events, with Sherry jones taking second in the long jump and Anne Hodges taking second in the 100 meter hurdles. On the boys' side, Michael Walker, competing for the junior boys, placed first in the 200 meter run, second in the 100 meter dash, fourth in the long jump and fifth in the high jump. The 880 relay team of Walker, jeff Shelton, Les Lewis and Stephen Niswanger placed second.
