Juniors Break 15 Year Losing Streak by Defeating Seniors 6-0 WW ith only a few minutes left to play in the game, junior Lisette Rose, a split-end, caught a pass from quarterback Laura Youngblood and changed a fifteen year old Dickinson tradition of senior victories. Both sides played well, said senior headcoach Todd Gupton. However, the seniors just came up on the short end of the scoreboard. Senior coaches were headcoach, Todd Gupton, Kent Neubauer, IVIatt Mit- chell, and Brian Anderson; and the junior girls were coached by Andre Ware, headcoach, Allen Boudreaux, Kevin Cambell, Garner Geisler, Lawrence Er- skin, Doug Reed, and Darren Wydermyer. Most people came to watch the game, but the halftime activities are just as entertaining. The senior drill team, The Studs danced to Just a Gigolo, and still reign supreme. The sophomore team, Beach Patrol, placed second, followed by the freshman team, Chained Heat, and then the juniors. Matt Mitchell was crowned the 1984-85 powderpuff prince. Headcoach for the juniors Andre Ware said, It felt good to break tradi- tion; I am real proud of them.
