THAT CLASSIC STYLE . . . Helps Bernice Coach Harp to State Titles Bernice Running just comes natural! said senior Bernice Peyton after capturing the state Cross Country title of 1986. This was only the second time in Anderson County history that this has happened. I was running with the best in the state, he said. I was really nervous and shaky but one thing I have learned since I have been running is, that is what will hurt you the worse. You have to learn to overcome that. Bernice is very intelligent when it comes to running, said Coach Randy Crist, who has coached Bernice for the past two years. He proved this with his tactics against the defending state champi- on of 1985. Bernice is a fairly new member to the cross country family He did not run until his junior year. You could always see improvement in his running, said Coach Crist. He was a quick thinker and always reached the goals that he would set for himself! He was one of the most talented runners I have ever coached in my career! I have really enjoyed running cross country under Coach Randy Crist, said Bernice. I will always remember this year as being one of the best of my life! We will really miss having Bernice on the team next year, said Coach Crist. He was a real pleasure to work with, and he was always a big winner! Showing endurance and stamina on his face, Bernice works hard to be number one in the race at Kentucky State. Talking with reporters after capturing the 1986 Cross Country Title, Bernice answers one of their many questions. 34 - Football After receiving the State title, Coach Crist and Bernice walk away as winners.

-'-. ,M .- W' 'si e-re . 'wa .1 qs, -351 .1-f Nye? Coach Harp We don't have to be bigger or more powerful than the teams we play said Coach Harp. We win by 'finesse' and execution. These two factors were the overriding forces that lead the Bearcats to a 10- 0 season and to Coach Harp's selection as 1986 Courierejournal Coach of the Year. That old saying defense wins the game stands true for Coach Harp and the Bearcats. You have to build a sound defense, he said. If your opponents can't score, they can't win. Offensively Coach Harp feels the same way by using the highly successful Veer Option. You must have the Veer down pat, said Coach Harp. There is little, or no way to stop it once it is in motion. Coach Harp attributes his being selected as Coach of the Year to the Bearcat squad as a whole. This has definitely been the most enjoyable year I've had since I've been involved in coaching, he said. It all comes from the players, my assistant coaches, managers, administration, and the community Everybody played their own part and that meant a lot to me! Commenting on Coach Harp's selection as Coach of the Year, Larry Basham, Athletic Director, stated, There was no one other coach in the state that deserved it more than Coach Harp. The 1986 Courier-journal Coach of the Year, Sam Harp uses his talents that helped him be selected as he directs senior quarterback Brian Renaud on the plays. Posing for his annual coaches' picture, Sam Harp has a nice smile on his face, something seen a lot by Bearcat fans this season. .MN , ,...-- Talking to freshman Randy Gillis about the upcoming plays, Coach Harp uses his head- set to find out what is happening on the field.
