Sports Sports proved to be a major sign of the time at Alliance High School. Successful seasons ignited spirit and suppport at AHS and in the community. Those individuals involved in sports seemed to always exceed the speed limit as they raced ahead, hoping to run a little faster, spike a little harder, shoot a little better, or play a little better.Athletes reached for individual and team goals, sometimes reaching them and sometimes not. Dedicated athletes stayed after school to practice, often not arriving home until after six or seven o'clock, where homework usually awaited. Student athletes were a sign of the time. Athletes had to maintain at least a 2.0 average and could not be flunking in their academic classes or they found themselves ineligible. Success was also a sign of the time at AHS, with most sports members finding some sort of success. Perhaps success wasn't always found in a team's record, but possibly in attitude, or hard work or maybe just in knowing that the best one had was given in sports participation- another sign of 1987-88. AHS teachers help to create spirit by decorating their doors. Mrs. Kathy Graham's lettermen' encourage the Alliance High athletes. Many a dedicated ahtlete will work to condition himself in the off season. Unseasonably warm weather gave athletes like Dustin Darveau an excel lent chance to run on the track even in December. A spirit sign made by the cheerleaders is a common sign at AHS. Cheerleaders made a sign for every athletic event throughout the year. 12 Sports Division
