A Rebuilding Year Cross country is a great sport to be involved in. lt teaches you a lot about yourself 'and it makes you more dependable on yourself. Running also gives you a better outlook on life, is the attitude Denise Kuenstler, sophomore, had about running cross country. The girls' junior varsity cross country team became the district champs at the Baytown Sterling meet. The team placed first at the San Jacinto and district meets. At all the other meets they placed second. Judy Clancy, coach, felt that the team was young and that this was a rebuilding year. They still came out like champions, and this kept our tradition of being district champs, commented Clancy. The most important thing in preparing to run is the summer training. Their workouts began with short distance running and advanced to longer distances. After the distance workouts, they concentrated on building up their speed. lt is the coach's responsibility to make sure that the team progresses correctly. lt is the team captains' responsibility to make sure that the team progresses spirtually and doesn't fall behind, is what Kuenstler felt kept the team going. 'iff'- Melissa Moiica strives to pass her Sterling opponents at the Conroe McCullough meet. Girls' Junior Varsity Cross Country 193

They won the 23-5A district champion- ship. They had a season record of 9-2. lt seemed the two main ob- stacles for the team were the two Baytown teams. They were two of the teams which came to being in this district when it was rear- ranged two years ago. Baytown Sterling was also said to have the best defense in the state. The season started out very well. The first four games, two of which were district games, end- ed in victory for the Longhorns. Going into the Baytown Lee game with a 4-0 season record, the Horns knew to keep up district hopes, they needed to win. After they lost, the hopes seemed grim. The very next week Lee lost to Deer Park. That put them tied with the Horns. Then Lee was again defeated, this time by Baytown Sterling. Through all this the Horns had kept their record up with only their one loss to Lee. Doble was back in the race. Nov. 6 the team was on its way to Stallworth Stadium once again. They were to face the undefeated Baytown Sterling. Both teams knew they had to win. The Horns prevailed. They left the stadium in celebration with a 20-14 victory. All that stood between them and the district championship was their last regular season game against the Pasadena Eagles. Af- ter their win over the Eagles there was chaos among the team mem- bers. The Longhorns had done it. They had won district. Then the team looked onto the Dickinson Gators in the bi-district game. The team had their second defeat of the season in the con- test Friday, Nov.2O. Many of the players and coaches were quoted as saying their goal was to win district. They reached their goal. Steve Kenney, center, said, We wanted to win district bad. We didn't think about what came after that. Jerry Marshall, guard, added, lf we had set our goals a little higher, I think we could have done better. Our minds were set on district. We didn't think past that. The team did an outstanding job. They were the district champs. The tough Longhorn defense brings down the South Houston ball carrier at Memorial Stadium. Varsity Football 195
