The season was disap- pointing, since the teams only won five of their games. However, 18 of the 19 girls on the teams were underclassmen, so 1979-80 will have good, experienced 1 players returning. The year was a frus- trating one, but we were determined to be more confident players in the future. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 .J F ll

Sports Sports are an important part of high school, as some students who are good athletes enjoy high school only because of the sports activ- ities. Sports are also a way for many students to be themselves and enjoy themselves. Our 1978 football season was disappointing for the students as well as for our boosters. Although we had a rough season of 3 wins and 6 losses, there were several outstanding players. Dennis Deel, David Motley, Danny Musick, Hank Morgan and Chuck Davis won All-Conference andfor All-District honors. We felt our volleyball season was almost over before it started, and that the record of 5 wins and lO losses would be improved with a longer season. In basketball the girls had a surprising year with 14 wins and 9 losses, while the boys could not get going until it was too late. They had a record of 4 wins and 18 losses. Carole Careswell was selected for the first team in the All-Con- ference honors as well as the All-District first team. Barb Thomas and Dennis Deel received All- Conference honorable mention. The track teams decided it was time to have Drexel out on top. Both boys' and girls' teams had an outstanding year! - -

ABOVE: Coaches Wilson and Laffoon try to work up school spirit at a pep rally before the last game of the year with Midway. The pep rally was a success, however, we lost the game to the Vikings 35 to O. Bobcats struggle through season The '78 season started out with a big win of 22 to 7 over Osceola, but after that the team's winning steam slacked off. The team was only able to win three of their nine games, but the fans weren't too disappointed, because they knew we had a young and inexperienced team. We lost ll players from the 1977-78 team, nine of whom were seniors. So this year our starting team only had five re- turning starters. Our inexperience was like a fourth down with forty yards to go. We had tough competition in the confer- ence, especially with Adrian and our arch rival, the Midway Vikings. The final 35 to O loss to Midway was a bitter pill to swallow as the season stumbled to a close that rainy night in November. 43
