Seniors overpower Juniors in Powder Puff gome The annual junior senior Powder Puff game was held November 10 on the Panther field. The seniors came away victorious, just as they did their junior year, by defeating the juniors 24-6. The seniors were awesome in the first half holding the juniors to a 16-O lead. Kyna liTwinkle Toes Carlton and Diana liTank Chalfant each ran through the juniors' defense for a touchdown. Halftime arrived and while junior coaches, Todd Boling and lohn Oldham, were planning heavy strategy for the second half the seniors were warming up with hot chocolate provided by waterwoman, Charlotte Postlewaite. As the third quarter began, so did a battle of defenses. Neither team scored. Fumbles and penalties, mostly given to the seniors, didn't change anything in that quarter. Recovering fumbles for the seniors were Melanie Brown, Liz Hardin and loAnn Liston. The seniors fumbled the ball twice, these fumbles were recov- ered by juniors, Holly Haight and Mi- chelle Sweeney. junior Lynette Goetzy doesn't realize the ball has been called back, but senior tackle, Liz Hardin does. She seems to think the seniors should have the ball. When the fourth quarter arrived, ev- eryone wondred whether the juniors were going to score. The seniors were going strong as 'Twinkle Toes Carlton took a hand-off from quarterback, lahn Oldham as she 'itip-toed through the tu- lips fthe junior defensej, for the last senior touchdown. Angie Medley made the two-point conversion running the score up to 24-0. With only twenty seconds left in the game, the juniors finally scored. Stacey Locker ran the ball in for six. The first extra-point attempt by Michelle Sweeney was called back and her second was un- successful. Casualties did not hamper many peo- ple, as did the year before, but there were some injuries. As for the juniors, Holly Nunley was left with a sprained wrist, Melissa Mobley suffered a broken nose and Stacey Locker injured her knee as a result of her touchdown run. The clock ran down and the victorious seniors left the field hugging coaches, Barry Porter and leff Priar. By Liz Hardin Lynette Goetzy faces down field while senior Kyna Carlton puts a rush on her.

Intramural Program begins a new tradition at Daviess County This year marks the beginning of a successful intramural program at DCHS. Mr. Waymond Morris made the deci- sion to begin the program in an effort to make school more enjoyable for the students. There are many intramural sports from which to choose from. Among these are soccer, basketball and volleyball. Racquetball and handball were originally among this list of events but due to the inavailability of the gym, such sports couldn't be established this year. Soccer was the first successful sport to begin the program and by far, the most popular. Many games were played between teams and one all-star team was selected to play against county rival, Apollo. Running in close competition for pop- ularity was basketball, the second most popular intramural sport. During the win- ter and holiday seasons the gym was open for practice. The most popular of these teams was the ilRejects . Coaches Denny Potts and Bill Taylor were appointed as intramural directors because of their willingness to work with students. They were in charge of scheduling and refereeing events. Mr. Morris stated that the success of the program is determined by the coaches and that Coach Potts and Coach Taylor did an excellent job. Participation is another factor which determined the success of the program. Although there was a great deal of stu- dent participation, the freshmen didn't show as much interest in the program as anticipated. Getting the freshmen and sophomores to school in the late evening posed a problem to the program. Mr. Morris stated that next year an attempt will be made to hold intramural activities directly after school facilitating the needs of those underclassmen who don't drive. Despite the late start and the limita- tions on the use of the gym, the pro- gram was 'la good start , says Morris. He also stated that the program will continue next year and will be better or- ganized.
