Klng and Q een of Courts February 14 IS the day of love and this was no exception on that windy Tuesday at CHS Warm fuzzles Val entlne grams and carnations were giv en and received by members of the student body It was the day to ask someone to be your Valentine and it was the night of the annual King and Queen of Courts presentation. With elections held two weeks prior to the event and with no major an- nouncement that day the stands nev- ertheless were filled with Firebirds to watch the regular home game against Mesa. At the end of the fast-paced first quarter Chaparral led 21-20. The buzzer sounded the end of the first half. The basketball team was be- hind 40-43 but the crowd s emotions were waiting for the announcement of who would be King and Queen of Courts. The pom line walked onto the court to give their final performance of the year to Last Dance by Donna Summer to signify all our accom- plishments for the year. And ending to all the work we had done this year as a line stated senior pom member Melissa Cam Then the red carpet was rolled onto the gym floor The King and ueen of Courts nominees were called out of the stands by Theater Guild member Michelle Mardock and asked to come onto the court The nominees for King were Mark Linsa lata Mike Ivey Bryan Fair and Todd Carrie' for Queen were Marci Nance Cara Briskman Kim Knox and Kim Otte. The voting results were then an- nounced and the King and Queen of Courts for 1984 were Todd Carrie and Kim Knox. Kim and Todd were crowned and after a short walk down the red carpet they posed for photog- raphers. Everyone moved to the gym lobby to congratulate the Winners. After the red carpet was rolled up the basketball players came out ofthe locker room to resume the game. After Mesa dominated the third quarter the Birds came alive in the fourth quarter. They tied the game after coming from a ten-point deficit. The lead changed many times up to the final seconds of the game With a 72 72 tie the Birds called time out Sud High School gym went off Unable to find the problem the game continued but the sound of the alarm was drowned out by the rowdy CHS fans The ball was unbounded and then passed to senior guard Jim Neu- gebauer who made the winning basket at the buzzer. We had been working on that type of play. We knew it was going in and when it was actually made it was the best feeling ever! said Jim Neugebauer. The crowd dis- solved on the court to congratulate the team and then Jim was carried off into the locker room. With an ending score of 74-72 the game was over and so was the home basketball season and the King and Queen of Courts until next year. -Nanci Coldebella Firebirds celebrate a win for I 30fStudent Life
