Though there were fewer athletes, they were a great team. Their strongest points were defense and good passing. The high point of the season was the Wildcat win against Center, who has been a rival of Blue Springs for years. It was a proud time for players and coaches. This pride was reflected by Chad Morris who said, The best part of a football game was the sense of glory after winning a game. Looking back over the season, Ryan Oden concluded, We couldn't have done it without good coaching and team effort. RISING VICTORIOUS, the Wildcats make a successful tackle. 4 '?.yV,3f '4 L, -U!

HA Q Preparing for the season Strenuous exercises, drills, and practice games were a part of the eighth and ninth grade football prac- tices. The pre-season practice began with a football camp held at BSIH in june and later continued with prac- tice for two and one-half hours after school every day. The team worked on calesthenics and drills, which included cairokas and passing and receiving the football. Their hard work was rewarded with outstanding records. One eighth grade player, Nathan Cordell said, The best part of prac- tice was Coach Hopkins' jokes, but the worst part was the running. Another player, Chad Morris, exemplified the Wildcat feeling when he said, I enjoyed being a part of the Wildcat team and representing BSJH. i 61
