Football Hopes Not Realized Doug Gray squeezes through a tight front line to make a long yardage gain as he runs with the ball. hat was said to be the year of the Pirates turned out to be the year of questions. It all started in August, with the temperatures in the 100's, as the team began their grueling practices. The introduction of the cluster system gave the Bucs a hope for the play-offs, since they had only to beat Mitchell, Sa- lem, and Brownstown to make it. So, with the returning 18 seniors and a tal- ented group of underclassmen, the team started on its way. CHS faced a tough opener against the Pioneers of Providence, in a game where the Pirates gave up three big plays and suffered a loss of 20-6. For the next game, the team hit the road and the Corydon Panthers, as they cap- tured a 16-2 victory and evened their mark at 1-1. This should have been exactly what the Pirates needed to prepare for their first cluster game at Mitchell. However, things didn't work out according to plan, and the Bluejacket team defeated CHS 21-6. After such a taste of disappointment, the gridsters still did not give up hope. They came back fighting in a match-up at home against Madison and laid the Cubs to rest 17-6, boosting their record to 2- 2. With a week off due to scheduling problems, the Pirates felt under control and ready for their return to the playing field for the second half of their season. Salem had different ideas, though, as they beat the Pirates in a heartbreaker, 21-20. This defeat dashed the Pirates' hopes for the play-offs, as it left them 0- 2 in the cluster. The following week was little help for the teams confidence, as they lost to Clarksville, 35-13. With no chance at the play-offs or a conference title, the Pirates finally fessed up and showed some true athletic ability. Winning the last three games iScottsburg, 46-0; Brownstown, 34-13; and North Harrison, 44-8; gave the Bucs a little satisfaction and a 5-4 record. Although it was a disappointing season, senior captaintquarterback Kevin Christman felt the last three games were the best part of the season. llNo one was putting pressure on us then, not the coaches or anyone, said Christman. lTWe had self-pressure. We all wanted to be winners, so we just did it.

V-Ball Team Records Winning Season he'Lady Bucs volleyball team exper- ienced a winning record of 15-10. Since 1976, the records had been consecu- tive disappointments until the 1983-84 sea- son. New additions to the team brought a bet- ter outlook for the Lady Bucs. Melinda Campbell became the head coach, while Kim Carroll coached JV. Coach Campbell experimented with a mental practice to develop better concentration. New uni- forms and a new net were available for the team with the help of the adult boost- ers. An expansion to the season was a tournament at Floyd Central, which in- creased the winning record of the team. The beginning of the season held a few rough spots. Some matches were lost due to a lack of communication. After working the problems out, the Bucs played together to establish their winning record.
