Saturda Football Readies Payers for 86 Season etting up early Saturday morning to engage in a tough game of football doesn't exactly sound like fun to most people, but to gain experience and talent the eighth and seventh grade football teams knew it had to be done. Practicing four times a week, the blue, black, red and yellow teams learned plays for upcoming games. Matt Wangenhauser of the yellow team, coached by Mr. Gary Wymer, commented, ttThe worst part of practice was running laps. With a lot of hard practice, the blue team, coached by Mr. Jim Sugg, went undefeated again this year. Matt Fotnwald of the blue team stated, I'm glad our team did as well as they did and l was proud to be on the team. Seventh graders were added to the once all eighth grade football program. Dan Rector of the black team, coached by Mr. Bob Maunz, commented, I think the seventh graders should have to wait a year, but some of them were good. 75

Girls Basketball First Game Sets Tone For Season osing a first game in hard fought overtime, might Ldiscourage most basketball teams, but for the freshman girls team, it just gave them determina- tion. The majority of the team agreed that the most challenging and exciting game was the opener against Livonia Franklin. Jenny Bagrowski, a forward for the team, stated, The score was tied in the last minute. When we lost by one point in overtime, we still felt we had made a good effort. The team was under a new coach this year. Mr. Ed Mazur replaced former coach, Mr. Joe Cothem after he resigned. Mr. Mazur, who coached before, felt he should get involved with the program again. A record of 7-4 proved their team learned from the First loss. The whole team felt their victories were earned and well deserved. Forward Sara Spice commented, We worked hard to meet our goals! Throughout the season, they experienced the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. They worked, sweated, won, and lost together. We improved so much since last year. We worked more as a team rather than individually , stated guard Beth Saunders. Whether they were on the court, or cheering from the bench, they shared every win and loss together, be- cause in everyoneis mind, they were a team! 76 Front Row - Danielle Ransom, Buffy Williams, Trisha Stoner, Kelly Walling, Second Row e Mary Linzie, Jenny Bagrowski, Laura Bristol, Beth Saunders, Karla Oberle, 3rd Row - Tracy Richmond, Sara Spice, Amy Dewees, Ashley Novesta, Stacy Grant, 4!!!
