Riding, Running, Racing . . TheyYe Serious! The 1987 school year produced en- thusiasm for our old varsity teams like the soccer team, and introduced new enthusiasm for our new girl’s softball team. These teams offered athletic students a chance to join together and ward of the competition. Some students prefered to ‘ go it alone.” This held true whether it was biking, horseback riding, running, or anything taking atheletic ability. These students used their own skill and stam¬ ina.

Of coarse not everybody competed. “I was walking (in shorts) at the Revel. Some guy pointed at me and said, ‘Hey that guy ' s suspended in mid air.’ I fig- ured it was time to do something about it.” said junior Paul Minnear. He then started riding several miles a day. When asked if it helped he replied, Well my calves stili aren’t as big as my girlfriends.” Competition or no competition, these students found ways to stay in shape and stili have fun. 98 • ON YOUK MAKK

Talented Golfers IT ' S QOP1E. Caught in the action of teeing off is Brian Basinger, the team s number one goifer. WhAT CONCEMTRATIOn Scott LeBlanc and Brian Basinger line up the shot while Ben McCormicK prepares to hit the ball and pray it goes in the hole. Putt Perfectly Young improving talent and experienced leaders are what guided the golf team to what sponsor Miss Owen said was “Our best chance at winning the regional tourna- ment and advancing to the state ever.” Kevin Waguespack explained that the reason the team was so good is that they spent hours putting, chipping and stroking their way up and down the fairways and greens during the off-season. “I know there are better individual play- ers than me but the team has a real good shot at state” said Scott LeBlanc modestly. He ranks number two on the team. The team. consisting of fifteen guys and two girls, competed in afterschool tourna- ments against other schools in the Caddo Bossier area. The team usually came out in the top three schools. Scores were based on the four lowest scores of thv five players in the particular tournament. Along with team competition there are also individual awards. Last year Brian Ba¬ singer and Ben McCormick competed in the state tournament as individuals. This year the players with the best changers at individual honors in the state competition were Brian Basinger, Scott LeBean, Ben McCormick, Cari Charping, Kevin Wague¬ spack and Trey Gibson.
