Tigers put in good season despite loss of hair, coach Whitney Butler Team unity helped lead the Tiger football team to another winning season. The season had many ups and downs. It found the Tigers coming away with a 7-3 overall record. However, during the course of the season the team lost the Rodeo Bowl, much of their hair, and their head coach, Jerry Boyce. The Tigers started with two pre- season scrimmage wins to bolster their hopes for the season. However, the first regular game found them coming up short against nationally- ranked Ranger. It was feared that a IO-O loss starting the season would lower the team's spirit. A disap- pointed Tiger squad returned home, where many of them shaved their heads in an attempt to achieve unity and to show they didn't plan to lose again. Several of them even went so far as to shave their iersey numbers into the backs of their heads. Players such as linebacker Kevin Hiller and defensive nose guard Pat Henderson felt bad about the loss. felt they should have won. Hiller echoed this thought by saying, I wish we could have played them at the end of the season, in- stead of at the beginning. Assistant coach Bob Juden felt the team beat themselves. He added that there was no way they could have won, making as many mistakes as they did. The Tigers had little trouble the rest of the season. However, they did come away with a few close calls. They beat Hutchinson in a i9-16 squeaker. The next week, they kept fans hanging onto the edges of their seats as they captured a I4-13 win over Dodge City. Near the end of the season the Tigers fell to Coffeyville. The loss didn't knock them off the track for long, as they ended the season on a winning note. They went on to face Ellsworth, Iowa, for the second year in a row in post season play. Un- fortunately, the Tigers found them- selves on the short end of a 32-I3 score.

One of the highlights of the season came toward the end, when the team took second place in the sub-regional tournament at Johnson County. The ladies started off the tourney by defeating Kansas City in the first round and . Allen County in the second. But in the finals, the Cowley team fell to Johnson County, and so they brought back second place medals. The performance made the Lady Tigers eligible to play in the Region VI Tournament, also held at Johnson County, where they were defeated by the team from Cloud County to put them in fourth place at the tourney. The Tigers wound up their season with an overall record of 25-19. Head coach Linda Hargrove said she was very pleased with the way the team played. It was a young team, as we played a lot of freshmen, Hargrove said. There will be quite a few returning players next season, and we'll be looking for bigger and better things then.
