AGILITY With great physical talent and body control, Dave Tueller t30l makes a tough shot look easy over a Boi- se defender. We fell to the Braves 68 to 79. Statistics! Statistics! Statistics! How can any- one enioy a good basket- ball game when his main concern is the recording of shots, rebounds, fur- V novers, and other game trivia? The answer is: very easily! One not only enioys the superficial flow of the game, but also the degree to which the mechanics of the game are executed. When a ballplayer per- forms below par, it is duly noted. When a ballplayer performs exceptionally well, it is also duly noted. During the halftime, statistics aid in the map- ping of second half strate- gies. They're also utilized by the coaching staff to better prepare the team for future competition. As a result, the reliability of the collected statistics must be extremely high. lf they were not, they would be of little use to the coaches, and could even ieopardize the future per- formance of an individual player. Being a Statistician is a weighty responsibility. Fortunately for Capital High School, we have three outstanding student statisticians: Doug Eager, Jason Eck, and Matt Mar- tinez. They have followed the Varsity basketball team from Pendleton to Carson City. They have kept for not only the Varsi- ty games, but also many J.V. and Sophomore games. Doug, Jason, and Matt have done a great iob for CapitaI's basketball program over the last two years. They deserve a big THANK YOU for their time and hard work.

ff To A Flying Start The baby Eagles were disappointed in the end. As running back Shane Jol- ley rolls to the right for a pitch from quarterback Mary Sea- mans, he sees that there is no opening for the run. Instead in the distance he sees re- ceiver Jason Call open for a pass, Jolley draws back and lets the ball go for six points. The score is 22-26, with two minutes left in the quarter. The baby eagles pondered, remembering back to their first three wins. At the end of this game the baby eagles felt the agony of defeat. The Eagles started out by winning their first three games, but something snapped after they lost their fourth game against Borah Lions. Their only hope for a chance in the play off cham- pionships was to win the next three games. The baby ea- gles could not pull it off, and the season went down hill from that game on. They en- dured a rough but exciting season. They had ups and downs and thrills and sor- rows. After all the smoke cleared there was one thing apparent, they gave it their all. Without the help of the persistant coaches the team would have suffered even more. Coach Harvey and coach Lima pushed the team to make them better. Every practice was harder then the one before it, and every game showed the team's im- provement. The struggling sophomores ended the sea- son, 3-4, but fought all the way. l Members of Sophomore Football: FRONT ROW: Aaron Shin, Joe Buckles, Nick Nope, Karol Stickle, David Trudler, Jay Bohner, Phil Terrial, Cris Minter.

The Capital gym sits quiet- ly now, serene. Little goes on in there except an occas- sional Sophomore P.E. class. And yet, but a few months ago, the hallowed walls quiv- ered from the screaming fans, chanting cheerleaders, hysterical coaches, and blar- ing music trom the pep band. The air still carries faint traces of popcorn, soda and that omnipresent odor of twenty-two years of sweat. To the players, however, the entire scene congeals into one mass of General chaos. The guy's Varsity bas- ketball season also could be considered with that cate- gory, as it masses itself in the minds ot players and fans, but then again, perhaps things went a bit deeper than that. The season did reveal its share of highs and lows and Senior Eric St. Michell said, 'We played better as a VA -Q43 team as the season pro- gressed. The Eagles ended their season with an 7-l 3 re- cord as they played against tough teams from both Idaho and the surrounding states. The record did not reveal the many tough losses, especial- ly against Meridian as we took the Warriors into two overtimes before the team beat us 72-74. Our best showing . . .
