Varsity football lost several coaches this year, but the Barons pulled together a com- plete coaching staff well in time for the school year. The team started preparing for the season early the previous winter and spring, training with weights, running to get in shape and reviewing the plays. The workouts restarted in the middle of the summer, with Hell Week being the presea- son climax two weeks before school. During Hell Week, players were subjected to two exhausting 2-hour workouts a day for a week. The hard work paid off for the Barons, who twice came within one point of enter- ing the playoffs. The defense was the high- light this year, with Chris Kilby earning the Most Valuable Defensive Player in the Mesa League. 148 Varsity Football

Sport . Victor On campus, there was a wide variety of sports to choose from. There were both boys' sports and girls' sports, ranging from tennis to swimming to football. Baron sports have a tradition of winning. This is proven by the many Metro league and Cl F banners which hang in the gymna- sium. This year's change to a 3A league was a shock for many teams, but the winning spirit prevailed. Aside from the league change, the sports picture was changed by the addition of a girls' soccer team. A rigorous and popular sport, soccer allowed the girls to demon- strate more of their many talents. Several existing sports received new coaches. Water polo and swimming gained new hope with Mr. Rick Evans, and girl's basketball acquired Mr. Ralph Carrier. Although the sports programs exper- ienced many alterations, a continuity exist- ed: a winning tradition in the Quest for Vic- tory.
