Clmageolpacp Playing with the big boys, as Coppell moved up from class AA to AAA competition, proved devastating for some CHS teams and exhiliarating for others. The varsity football coaches knew times were rough when they had to draft 17 sophomores into the varsity ranks mainly because of injuries. Coaches had pre- dicted a 4-6 season, but the team's inexperi- ence couldn't hold up in the tougher competi- tion. The varsity finished O-l0. Though the volleyball team closed with a winning 14-9 record, it was unable to claim its usual playoff berth. On the other hand, some CHS teams surprised their new opponents so much that they became a little indignant at times be- cause of Coppell's success. Both varsity and JV boys' basketball teams provedto be contend- ers as they finished second and first, respec- tively, in district. Likewise, the varsity girls' team made it to the playoffs after securing second place in district competition. Though the baseball team has gone into the playoffs in recent years, with the move into 3A, not even Coach Curliss had predicted that they would make it as far as the final four in state playoffs. Practicing day after day, sometimes up to seven times a week was very frustrating, but it helped us KJV boys' basketballj attain an unde- feated season record. -- Ashley Stroud, l l The Carter-Riverside tournament was probably the best thing about playing volley- ball yet this year. We captured the consolation trophy and had fun doing it. -- Timi Jackson, l 0 Keeping our pace, knowing how to run a meet, and trying our hardest helped the cross country team to finish second in district, third in regionals and ninth in state. -- Chris Martin, 12 6 0 SPORTS DIVISION

cnown PLEASERS - Whof Goes Around Comes Around When you lose several start- ers to injuries at the beginning of the season, move up to a new district level, and put your sophomores against the other team's seniors, what comes around is going to be disap- pointment, This is what was felt with the season record being O- lO for the varsity and 4-lO for IV and freshmen. Because of injuries we had seven sophomores starting on offense and eight on defense, said Coach Bill Wade. This was like playing the boys against the men because the other teams were starting their juniors and seniors. While the fans may have been disappointed with the los- ing record, the players were frustrated. What l found frustrating was that the whole team was trying to win, but we just couldn't pull it off, said junior Eric Hill. Things went from bad to worse when the varsity ranks became so depleted that the IV team was dissolved and its members drafted to varsity and freshman teams. Before the IV team was broken up, both the IV and freshman teams did, however, capture some victo- ries. Having to compete against IV teams, the freshmen players gained a sense of accomplish- ment. l'd say that the team accom- plished how to tackle, block, and run, which helped us win a few games, said freshman Iason Mcfntyre. The freshmen learned a lot of things, and playing all those IV teams l think we'll be ready next year, said freshman Brett Houser. With all the talent and ex- perience returning, Coach Ken Shaver could do nothing but feel optimism and hope for the upcoming season. The fact that so many kids will be back even though they lost so bad is rewarding, said Coach Shaver. Maybe this season wasn't what it was cut out to be, but for the individuals who were associated with this season it was one of enjoyment, spirit, and, most of all, growing up.
