New Experience Football Players Learn New Skills What was your ideal Saturday morning? Sleeping until noon, watching cartoons, or staying in your pajamas all day? These luxuries were not in the schedules of the 7th and 8th grade football players. How does getting up at 8:00 and playing a tough game of football sound? It may not sound fun, but its what the 7th and 8th grade football players chose to do. Practicing five times a week, learning plays, and playing early games helped them to improve their skills for the years to follow. Eighth grader, Scott Conner of the red team com- mented ltllm glad that I went out for football because it helped me gain skill and coordination and it also helped me get ready for my freshman year in football. As the year progressed, they gained much need experi- ence and made many new friends, but above all they gained a new self image. Seventh grader, Paul Kowalik of the black team said uI thought practices were pretty hard, but they helped us a lot and I wanted to accomplish as much as I could for the team. Most of the football players found a lot of fun times and challenges from football, but there were also the dis- advantages, like being sore after the games or being in- jured. Most of the eighth grade guys who participated in football felt that it was a good experience for them because most of them will be trying out next year for a position on the freshman team. 80 Will it be a touchdown? . . .

Swish That Ball! Jefferson Game Highlights Season Defense! Defense! Guard your man!, were common commands shouted out by freshman girls basketball coach, Tlm Cady, during tense moments. The girls were quite successful this season. They lost only to Trenton ttwicei though they put up a good fight in both games. iiWe played well, but Trenton played brilliant defense. I feel we had equal or better talent, but our defense was a bit weak, confessed Coach Cady. Many of the players felt the last game of the season, against Jefferson, was the highlight of season. ttMonroe Jefferson was an exciting game. The whole team played well and had it together? commented Jill Zorbaugh. Playing together and having fun was one of the most im- portant reason, the team did so well. uWe were out there to win, but also have fun. Stated Kristie Orth. Tammy McCarley said, ttMore people came to our home games this year than ever. She added, uEveryone got a chance to play, even the people who werenit on the first stringft M.V.P. Amy Hulligarger lead the team this season with 69 points. Backing her up were Julie Homan with 39 points and Jenny Hulisz with 38. tiWe worked together as a team.
