8 .llzrrlfrz Breaking Into The g TiII1Cf The Lady Wildcats obtained the Class 4-A State Champion- ship by defeating Orlando Edgewater 64 to 44 in Winter Park, Orlando. The group of three seniors, seven juniors, and three sophomores put in many afternoons to achieve this honor. Everyone could read the sign on the clofed gym door, Stay out after 3:1S, and they heard the sounds of tennis shoes squeak- ing on the varnished floor along with grunts and cheers of pain and approval. A State Award should only belong to those that deserve it. No one deserves it better than Coach Ronnie Bond and his Lady Cats! The members played with their heart and soul. The Lady Cats took the State Award paws clown. -- Ronda Bond i i 1 l 1 ri., ,,eL.er,,r,m-t.r ,e-t-,.L-,, Coach and Mrs. Bona' proudly accept the State Trophy fiom' the Pregri- dent ofthe Florida High School Sport: Association.

Champs hen we arrived at school, the air had a sense of excitement to it. Grabbing luggage, we loaded the bus for a long ride to Winter Park. Teachers and students cheered Go Ladycatsu and waved goodbye as we pulled out of the parking lot. Arriving eight hours later, we were a tired, but jubilant team. The moment of truth arrived when Coach Bond called us to his room early that fateful day and stressed to us our duties. Block the big girl, she's all they have. Block her out and the title is yours. Last breaths of ease vanished that game night as we quietly loaded the bus, each concentrating on what we knew we had to do. The bus ride to the gym was tortureg each mile brought fear into our minds but confidence soon replaced fear as our anticipation grewl We walked into the gym with an air of superiority and the look on our faces struck fear into the other teams' minds. When the buzzer sounded, our hearts were jumping out of our chestsg but with the encouragement of the original Cat Pac our nerves soon calmed. In the beginning, the game was close and despite some disappointments we recalled Coach Bond's words and continued to drive the big girl clown and get our fast break. The roar of our fans yelling A rope, a tree, hang the referee! compelled us ro forget our pain and exhaustion - everything else except WINNING. Fearlessly, we ran up and down the court with the agility and speed we possessed. As the last buzzer hit, reality struck! All those hard practices and grueling workouts really paid off. Together on the floor oblivious to everything else except our cries of joy, the Cat Pac ran out to the floor surrounding us with cheers of love and approval as sweat mixed with our tears of success. The roar of the gym quieted when the announcer called out, The 1986 Class 4-A State Champions are Pensacola Washington Ladycats! Then and only then did we realize that we had reached our goal: STATE CHAMPS. - Ronda Bond While Uthers Pattied, You Practiced. Now It's Your Turn ,ag To Play. Bafketball 9
