‘fytKe 6 a ut Atexdeaae The crowd was hushed as the golfer stepped up to the tee. He was ahead by two strokes. His mind was focused on the eighteenth hole and he needed a hole in one for the win. He teed the ball and got into his stanse. He swung and almost miraculously the golf ball went into the hole. He had done it. He won the match. Just a dream? Maybe, but the 1986 Tucker Co. Golf Team never lost sight of their goals. The 1986s team, consisting of three seniors and three freshman, mainly lacked experience. Three-year letterman, Bob Andre was the only veteran.” For the rest of the team, it was the first year they had played on the team. Although the seniors will be missed Coach Puskas felt that the freshman will be a big part of next year’s team. The year was somewhat frustrating but what made the season worthwhile was the three young freshmen who looked like up- an comjng golfers.” The best matches of the season were against Elkins. The guys on the team were happy about winning three out of four matches against their biggest rival. Other tough competitors were Southern of Maryland. Central Preston and Buchanon Upshur, just to name a few. After completing the regular season with a half-and-half record, the team |ust barely made it to post-season action. The team placed fifth out of the six teams that were there. All of the golfers did their best but they still could not place individual competition. According to Coach Puskas, The golfers must improve their game if they want to go to the State Tournament next season. WAS that a birdie or a triple bogie? I can’t remember.” says Brian Booth as he tries to figure out what to write. 'JACK Nickolas?? I said I was good, but I’m not that good.” says senior golfer Jeff Evans. GOLF-SPORTS

MT. UONS CUAKS The 1986 Girls Varsity Basketball Team ended their season with a record of 10 and 13. That was including the Invitational and Sectional Tournaments. The Lady Mt. Lions had a disadvantage. They weren't very big. Their heights ranged from 57' and below. They were no comparison to other teams who had girls 6' tall. Even though they had this disadvantage, the Lady Mt. Lions were quick and worked together. As the season went on, they improved remarkably. They beat some tough teams and some tough teams beat them. They won their first Sectional Tournament game against Petersburg. This brought them to the Sectional Tournament play-offs against Frankfort to determine which team would go to the Regional Tournament. Even though they had a devastating loss with the score 55 to 50, the Lady Mt. Lions gave it their all. They received a runner up trophy to bring back to school. Coach Kyle was very pleased with the team since he knew they did their best. He said, “There’s a very good chance for the girls to go to the state play-offs next year, if they keep working together. HERE they come, thinks Kathy RealI as she prepares for defense. WILL this game ever be over? Brenda Dilly and Edie Sheppard take a quick breather before starting down the floor again. THE pressure's on! Cindy Newman shows her foul shooting ability to the whole school with the determination to make it. SPORTS-BASKETBALL 105
