Athletics lt was a rocky road for most Mac- Arthur teams this year as the move to 32-AAAAA added Madison and Jud- son to an already tough district. For some teams there were few highlights, while other teams and in- dividuals did well enough to win Championships in several levels of competition. Upset victories over Jay by the var- sity, and San Marcos by the JV highlighted the football season. A fine season by the varsity and district championships by the JV were the bright spots in basketball. ln swimming, the boy's relay team advanced to state and both the boy's and girls track teams advanced to regional competition as well as the boy's golf team. Win or lose, our teams proved that they had something that made them specialg dedication.

52 Sports 1 With Bill Longtin 128i breaking first, the Brahmas rush out to destroy the Beat Churchill breakthrough before the kick off. Th ony and th osli sy Autumn is, by definition, a cautious time for a head football coach, especially if he is new. But Coach Mike Garner threw caution to the wind. This was, he declared early and loud, the most talented, the most physically fit group of young men he has ever molded into a football team. The Brahmas created their own version of the agony and ecstasy, losing to Churchill, defeating Madison. Week after week they rose to challenge some of the toughest in District 5-A football, and week after week they just fell short. We're a good team. We have the potential to be a good one, became Coach Garner's regular end game quote. After defeating Jay 19-12, the team thought they had set the tone for the eight that would follow. But they were disappointed.
