Senior Brian Tipmore was named Most Valuable Player and made the CSAC team. Senior David Nauert earned the Citizenship Award. With five returning lettermen and the good freshmen we ' ve had this year, we ' re looking for an improved season next year, stated Coach Ray Adrianson. We had our ups and downs, but on the whole we played as a team. I am looking forward to my senior year playing for Coach Adrianson, commented junior Ronnie Nance. The tennis team is also looking forward to expanded facilities; ten new tennis courts to be built beside the football field will replace the four old ones. Although our team finished 5-1 1, we still proved capable of playing against the better competition during the later part of the season and, with expanded fa- cilities the team should prove even better with five returning lettermen, said Brian Tipmore.

Building a Promising Future The 86-87 tennis team had a re- spectable year. They ended the season with six wins and ten losses. The Cit- izenship award went to Michelle Couch and Most Valuable Player went to Beth Patterson. The team was made up of relatively young players who matured and maximized their ability during the season. Looking forward to next season, Mr. Adrianson predicted a better one because of the improved play of the upper- classmen veterans and the addition of incoming freshmen. Tennis D.C.

Pride: What the Scores Don ' t Show Varsity Football DC 0pp. 21 Mooresville Lawrence Central 34 Brownsburg 6 Pike 15 Lawrence Central 16 Ben Davis 47 Center Grove 31 Franklin Central 33 27 Plainfield (Sectionals) 14 Pike 7 21 Franklin Central 41 DC Junior Varsity Football Lawrence Central 0pp. 28 7 Brownsburg Pike 12 26 6 Lawrence North 32 8 Ben Davis 14 Center Grove 7 4 Franklin Central 42 Junior quarterback Jeff Scott runs the ball up field in an attempt to gain extra vardage against Pike ' s Red Devils. Earlier in the year Pike defeated Decatur 15-6. Then the Hawks went on to sectionals and revenged themselves against Pike with a 1 4-7 win. The Varsity Football Team ployers worked hard and improved at the end of the season. Senior Chris Ikemire, who earned the Citizenship Award, stated, I ' ve learned to give and take and make sacrifices. I ' ve also learned the meaning of pride. Next season looks promising if they pull together and the hard work con- tinues. The 1987 Junior Varsity Football Team ended its season with no wins and seven losses. The J.V. team was small in numbers but made do with what they had. Although the scores look disap- pointing, the real success was the val- uable experience gained. The 1987 Varsity Football Team fin- ished a somewhat disappointing season with 4 wins and 7 losses. The season started out strong with a major victory over Mooresville (21-0) and a strong defensive game against Brownsburg, fin- ishing 9 to 6. Then after being defeated by Pike 15 to 6, players lost confidence and playing became inconsistent. But byi sectional time they had pulled together and were psyched up again to overtakei Plainfield 27-0, and take revengei against Pike 14-7. Team captain, Senior Brian Harring- ton, was named Most Valuable Player! and Most Valuable Back. He was alsoi recognized with All-Conference and i County selection. Also, team captain Randy Carr was named All-Conference. Joe Cravens was named Most Valuable Lineman. 72 Football
