TEAMWORK BRINGS SUCCESS The 1986 TCHS Football Team will always be remembered for working ALL together to make it to the top. Throughout the season, everyone pulled together to succeed. Everyone knew that if the team worked together anything was possible. Even a state championship. The coaches began drilling into the heads of the players way back in August that football wasn't a one-man show. It took all eleven men on the field working as one in order to succeed. Everyone knew that the quaterback couldn’t pass if the offensive line didn’t block and if the quaterback couldn’t pass then the receiver couldn’t catch and if the receiver couldn’t catch, then the ball couldn’t move and if the ball couldn’t move, the team couldn’t score and if the team couldn’t score, well, the team couldn’t win. But the line did block and the quaterback threw. The receiver caught and the ball was moved. The team scored the games were won. The result, a trip to the state championship game where the Tucker Co. Mt. Lions were the stars. Although the team lost, they still knew a fact was a fact . . . teamwork brings success. The 1986 Football Team worked together to break records, to reach their goals and to become the best ever in Tucker County. They brought the school together, the town and the whole county itself. And even though they ended the season as runner-up, everyone thought they were winners. So like all stories, the 1986 Football Team had came to an end. But you can bet your washtub that they won’t be forgotten. WE love ya Mt. Lions, screams the crowd during the Championship game. Over 4.000 people came together at Laidley Field in Charleston to see Tucker and Bridgeport battle for the crown.
