Varsity football Our season started in August with running in sweltering heat and pumping iron in small dark weightrooms. We worked so hard because we were trying to bring a state championship back to Washington. Why shouIdn't we have won a state Championship? All the ingredients of a winning team were there. We had big Iinemen and fast running backs, and one of the most successful coaches in BTW football history, Ed Lacy, returned to coach us. Everyone thought that with this team and Lacy, we were destined to become state champions. .1

nior Varsity tball The attention, the glamour and the glory were all privileges retained by the varsity football team. We worked just as hard as they did, and we also went through the growing pains of being young and inexperienced players. We dreamed all the while of the day when we too would be onthe varsity team. We had a disappointing season because our record was 5-4, our worst in four years. Coach Ernest Dates felt that we played well enough to win all our games, but that we made mistakes that older more experienced players would not have made. But we lived up to our goals of being varisty players just trying to get game experience. row: Kelly Miller, Kevin Leach, Tim Crisp, Keith Wright, Kevin Prish, David Jones, Marcus James.

School Them Us Memorial 3 7 O.C. Douglass 6 16 McLain 25 34 Rogers 20 26 Enid 17 22 Hale 0 14 Central 13 32 Edison 14 12 Ponca City 14 27 Playoffs Broken Arrow 13 19 Memorial 38 O The season started with the All City Tournament and McLain upset us 15-14. As time progressed, the Hornet fans lost confidence in us. There was talk around town that maybe the Hornets weren't as good as they thought they were. We lost our first homecoming in 12 years to Edison, 14-12, but we won the first round of the playoffs forthe first time in four years with a thrilling victory in the closing minutes over Broken Arrow. The next week we were embarassed by Memorial, the team to eventually win a state championship, losing 38-O. We spent many weeks trying to explain our season because of one game. Our fans forgot all the games we won, and all good plays, and remembered every bad play. We felt that many BTW fans had become spoiled, they wanted nothing less than a state championship. A team with a 9-2 record should be praised instead of criticized.
