Freshmen End With Experience r he freshman A team finished its season with a successful 6-4 season. ' The team played well and had some tough losses. Head coach Terry Vestal said, The four losses came with a combined total of eight points. In other words, we were in every game until the last minute. Coach Vestal added, The players we had this year will be good high school players if they stay with it. The freshman B team ended up its first year of football competition with a 2-5-1 record. Playing a tough schedule, the high points of the season came on victories over two of the best teams in the area. The team beat LaPorte 27-13 and Ball High 16-8. According to head coach Tim Drake, The players competed with great enthusiasm and always played hard. The record isn ' t as important as the fact that the team learned and gained experience, said Coach Drake. He added, They were better at the end of the year than at the beginning, making for a productive year and high hopes for the future.

— r Gymnasts Have Vaulting Ambitions ' r uring that time of year when gym- - nasts have vaulting ambition, they conipete in numerous events displaying their athletic ability. Including many events such as bars, vault, floor, balance beam, and rings, gymnastics is a difficult sport To participate takes skill and prac- tice This year ' s team exhibited both of these qualities. ' ; The team attends many different meets r ' throughout the year. First semester meets consist of compulsory events that are standard routines. Second semester brings the optional events in which the gymnasts improvise showing their style. The team travels to far away places to compete. This year ' s team traveled to Bryan, Kingwood, and Humble. The team maintained a good attitude after the loss of the coach midway through the season. According to senior gymnast Sonya Weaver, The team went through some hard times, but we learned to work together as a result. Patty Pascavage commented. I en- joyed gymnastics very much, and I wish more people would be involved. The team has improved very much over the last year and has many good freshman prospects, making for a good team in the future.
