The season record of 5-3 showed that hard work was also a part of their routine. 300 Play in Fall Sports Enthusiasm ran high as school sports gave students a way to express themselves as well as keep busy after school. The new twenty dollar pay to play participation fee did not lower the enrollment of sports activities, as more than 300 students participated in fall sports alone. One highlight of this record breaking year was the Homecoming game win over Aurora Central. In other fields of play, Doug Nock and Clark Lyons led the way to a victory in the State golf tournament with pars of 72 and 74. Sophomore Janice Vranka, swimming for the girls ' team, broke the record in the 100-meter breaststroke. Boys ' tennis and cross country also gained state berths. The second year soccer team faced tough competitors as they ended with an 0-11 season. Most players named lack of experience as the key problem. As this year ' s team consisted chiefly of; sophomores, the ' 84 team should be a. whole different ball game. Over 14 coaches and assistants logged long afternoons to find and develop the potential of their athletes. These mixed successes and failures were part of a growing experience for BHS students, faculty, and parents.; Other than participating in sports, | spectators cheered the teams on:! whether to the first victory over Fairview in nine years, or the unexpect- ed defeat by Smoky Hill in the first game of the season. The Panther fans added more than support to the teams; they added motivation. Above: Football coach Dee introduces Tom Gebhardt and Eric McCarty, team captains.

Exciting Times What could be more excit- ing than beating Fairview at football after nine years of defeat? Possibly winning the state golf tournament for the first time in nineteen years. Maybe almost losing some hearing at concerts such as The Who ' s farewell tour, Fresh Aire ' s appearance at Macky Auditorium or Karla Bonoff ' s co ' ncert at the Boulder Theater. Excitement raged as much over the No. 4 tennis doubles ' second place berth at state as it did when bicyclers of inter- national fame thrilled specta- tors in the Coors Classic. No less exciting was the Marching Band ' s ten-day trip to California. Closer to home, Jean Auel, best selling author of The Cave of the Clan Bear, spoke to students. Boulder crowded out boredom and ushered in excitement. Top right: Mark Coulson shows the skill that made him a winner in the tennis doubles.
