Bouncing, rolling, charging, yelling, running, jumping, and seating from both physical and men- tal exhaustion.. .no matter what the sport, they played, and played, and played until they thought they could give no more, and then they played again. It was the game that mattered. And it showed. Volleyball, football, cross country, bas- ketball, and wrestling all finished with excellent seasons. Oh sure, there were times when the teams lost, but those times seemed unimportant when one remembers watching the varsity foot- ball team decimate Davis in the semi-finals at the U , seeing another challenger pinned by the awe- some wrestlers, and going crazy at basketball games, where the fans won as much as the team. Spirit was often doubted, but who could knock those crazy hats, Yogi glasses, or the Alta rug that seemed to pop up at every sporting event, and the fans that often outnumbered even the rival sup- porters at away games. Sometimes a bit obnox- ious and a little radical, but it was the spirit of things that swept everyone up until they sweated, jumped, and screamed till they thought they could scream no more—and then screamed again.

Underdog Hawks Visit Rice Stadium DATE: October 23, 1981 TIME: 5:00 p.m. PLACE!: Hillcrest High School Football field Disappointed Alta fans on their way home recall the close game between the two teams in which the Huskies were victori- ous. Before football season start- ed, the Hawk’s were highly rat- ed in the S.L. Tribune’s Cap tains Poll. As the season pro- gressed. Alta’s losses dropped them out of the poll. The pre- dicted potential seemed wrong. And then the hawks' loss to Hillcrest cost them a tie for re- gion champs. DATE: October 30, 1981 TIME: 2:00 p.m. PLACE: Smithfield Utah— Skyview High School’s football field In a playoff game the Sky- view bobcats were favored to win. The hawks having the dis- advantage of being 75 miles away from home, startled ev- eryone by taking the game. DATE: November 7, 1981 TIME: 2:00 p.m. PLACE: Rice Staidum, U. of U. With beautiful autumn weather, the Hawks and the Da- vis Darts met for the State Quarter-Finals. Alta once again the underdog; but the determi- nation to win, led them to a resounding victory over Davis. DATE: November 12, 1981 TIME: 2:00 p.m. PLACE: Rice Stadium, U. of U. Again outstanding fall weath- er and the tremendous amount of school spirit building during the last weeks made this Semi- Finals competition with the Roy Royals one everyone would remember. The Royals scored first with 39 second left in the half—a defensive domi- nated half of play. Twice Roy had opportunities to score but was held back by the awesome defense. At the halftime break, the marching band and flag girls gave a flashy performance for the packed stands, represent- ing our pride in yet another field. The excitement of the close- ness of the game brought the crowd to its feet. Alta’s costly mistakes caused the clock to run down and made it an im- possible task to win the game. The Royals went on to win the 4-A State championship. The Hawks ended the season third in State; their highest attain- ment ever. Before the State Semi-Final against Roy. the Black Machine gathers on the astro turf for a pre-game huddle. The unification buildins for an important game ahead. Showing their school spirit, the Pep- pers unfurl a large banner to show Roy students across the field our pride. Un- fortunately an announcement stating rules against banners in the stadium required the Peppers to remove the dis- play. Alta 74 • State Football With running action to the right.
