When you hit rock bottom, The only way to go is up Hit, crash, bang! These were not the sounds made by the '86-'87 Cowboys, but in- stead they were the ones made by the '87-'88 Cow- boys. It began with intense training in the off-season, and they worked up to a 4-6 re- cord. We feel that coming off the 0-10 season and going 4-6 this year was a giant step for Coppell's football program, said Head Coach Ken Shav- er. The step from AA to AAA has been a big one that took us two years to makef' Even though their record didn't show it, the varsity members felt they played hard and stayed together as a team. We got along well, and when you lose as much as we do, you come together as a team, but when you win, sometimes you get cocky and become individuals, said senior Joe Orman. Disappointed by its losses, the Varsity tried to psyche themselves up for the next Friday night game. Each week we try to re- group and come back and win, explained quarterback Jeff Cleveland, junior. The JV looked to have a promising season, but being plagued by the no passfno play rule, they lost players and ended up combining with the freshman team. Their hard work ended up in a 3-5- 2 season record. The season started out pretty good, but as we start- ed losing, our spirits went down, said sophomore Pat- rick Hudson. When the season was over, Cowboys could only look for- ward to a new district and a new season. tg eq ? 12 To 'WZ Q 9 L Q I L I 5 I A: 5 I ' , I 'N--Ihr 7' fr- fm 7 . 4 T, -f f .,-,,,, r .,,,.,, , , ,,., fl - was . rg.. . an r :ei --k VA A ' 331-F T T me v -tl fm Ai if .
