Time of My Life Highlights of the year in sports The year in sports was an exciting one for Sylvan Hills. The Bears reached the state football playoffs for the third straight year by upsetting the 3 team in the state. In basketball, the boys' team snapped a 38 game losing streak when they beat Joe T. Robinson 71-60. The girls' team, under the supervision of new head coach Martha Cothren. finished in the top ten and made it to the state tournament in class 4A rank- ing. The year in volleyball was topped off when the Lady Bears placed second in the 4A North conference tourna- ment and won a spot in the state tournament. The Cheerleaders won second place in the state and went on to national competition in Dallas. The new Dance Team was also invited to nationals in Florida. The year in sports was best summed up by junior John Scott when he said: The glamour and accom- plishment of this year in sports wouldn’t have been possible if it hadn't been for the devoted fans, the out- standing coaches, and that neverending Bear spirit. — by Miranda Perkins and Kelly Hurst The year in sports ivas a great one all over Sylvan Hills.
