Running to center court is Shawn Sinclair at the introduction of the game against the rival Myrtle Point Bobcats. Coquille turned on their devil power in the fourth quarter to upset the Bobcats by beating them 66 to 63. Cheerleaders Leah Wilson and Michelle Kirk perform a cheer to fire up the students in the stands. The cheerleaders helped the football team by putting spirit into the student body. U D 3 3 CO Members in a rage The Red Devils may not have been the best in every sport, but they did have lots of spirit and determination. The rage spread throughout the school and helped everyone have pride in what they were doing. It all started during football, cross country, and volleyball. Students would crowd into the stands for the volleyball games and yell barnacle. This prompted the volleyball team to dive to the floor. The big charge in football was when the team ran through the flame and the student body was there to give high fives and cheers. The best part of the season was when the defensive backs would try to jump over the sideline pile when we ran onto the field. This would really pump us up and we were ready to kill, commented football player Tim Causey. The spirit flowed right into basketball and wrestling. Some of the things that pumped the basketball team up were the crowd yelling and Kelly Wechter jamming the ball before the game. The wrestlers mostly had to get psyched on their own. They had a drill from the movie Vision Quest that would prepare them and the crowd. It was hard to get the crowd going during the spring sports because there were no cheerleaders. The ones who went to the track meets, baseball games, and golf tournaments were usually loyal fans who loved to watch the sport. In track, from morning until the end of the race, throw, or jump, the competitors were in their own worlds thinking of what they had to do. Cammy Altree explained, I usually had a song that I thought of when I was running, and it helped me keep my rhythm. Comradery was the main connection for the baseball team. They went out there as one team and won as one team. If it was getting to be a tight game, they would all jump into a huddle between innings and scream and yell until they were ready to come out fighting.
