Sophomore players work together to tackle a Bear player. Photo by Randy Law Sophomores Break Even The number one goal of the sophomore team was to IMPROVE. They wanted to improve in every aspect of the game: conditioning, strength, speed technique, hitting, knowing their assignments, getting after the opponent, winning,andsportsmanship. As Coach O'Keefe said, We want to do better than the day before. Another goal was to develope PRIDE. They planned to take more pride in their per- formance, their team and the school. The main goal of every player should be to make varsity and contribute to a winning program. Sophomore players must be ready to fill key positions on the varsity next year, described Coach O'Keefe. They want and plan to be STATE CHAMPIONS AS SENIORS. Sean Scruggs said the hardest position to learn was quarterback. He also said that practicing didn't affect his grades very much. He felt that in order to improve his chances of making varsity, he must work on his muscle tone and speed. After a game in which they lost, the main goal was to work harder for the next game.
