Football Has Learning Season When this year’s season started, we had a large turnout and high expectations. With the experienced sophomores combined with a good freshman class, we were a greatly improved team. But it took us until the Neah-Kah-Nie game to realize our potential. In this hard hitting and physical game, we found it was actually fun to hit first and show our strength. In the end, we became the first team to score upon Neah-Kah-Nie and the first team to defeat them, winning 18-12. Hopefully the J.V. team will look back upon the past season, remember the positive and fun parts of the season and build upon them. With the dedication and attitude that was developed, Vernonia should be back in the State play-offs next year. 3 Captions 1.

Girls Take Over Cross Country Ten girls made up the cross country team this year. They were league champions, district champions, and placed 4th at the state meet. Two seniors, Angie Remsen and Carole DeLemos, have been out for cross country all four years. Kathi Rinks and Karen Parrow spent three years running. All four seniors will be greatly missed next year. Junior Gigi Curl and sophomores Becky Nice and Sonya Olson had a good year and will contribute to the program again next year. Four freshman added spark to the team with Samantha Durst running second to Carole all season. Following close behind at district and state was Christy Skinner. Freshman runner Janet Lubbes rounded out the freshman power. The girls met tough competition all during the season, running almost entirely against AA and AAA teams. The first meet of any pressure with class A schools was district, where they scored 32 points. The closest competitor was 90 points with third place at 96 points. Competition at state was tough, though, and the girls missed a third place trophy by 7 points. Girls teams at Vernonia, as well as around the state, have been continuing to be tougher, and coach Ron Remsen predicts this trend will continue. “With the personnel we have returning next year, we should once again have one of the toughest teams in the state.” Back row: Manager Robert Jackson, Carole Delemos, Karen Parrow, Angie Remsen, Kathi Rinks, Gigi Curl, Coach Ron Remsen.
