Com- ing off the fleld after running their heirdest, the defense goes to the bench to cool off. Since it s only the team 5 second year in this new league, they seem to be doing fairly well. They haue tried their hardest to beat big teams like Jud son and Churchill and have hung on to their pride. Trying to beat the large Northside teams IS a tough Job. But some one ' s gotta do it — right?. Steoe Drzymalla says. Like Steue men Honed it is a hard job and so feu- East Central is do ing very well and they keep improving. . Sports AUi3on Rogers

Ofi itif MCd iU AUuon Rogers YEA TEAMt Looking excited and hap py. Mark Sili a and Tim Crank yell for their team to win. Holding a helmet up when the team is kicking off is a new tradition. The team has learned a lot during the year. f f i b J n a When you are on the bottom of the pile you see a lot of different fac- es and rears, Johnny Hernandez said. You also get to hear a lot of comments that the other team will say about your team. he added. Being on the team is not all fun and games, as you can see. ' f:-. Allison Rogen ' USHING MAXIMUM PRES HIRE! Trying hard to pry away ' ■om an opponent, Kevin Smith 5 about to get tackled frorr ehind. Being crushed is a ma or requirement for football. It is ot very much fun when you re trying to run the ball. AtUson Rogers HOLDING ON! While trying to hold on to the ball, Jacques Gonzales, keeps on running. He ' s trying to make the play work as a Madison Maverick player holds on to the ball with him. Being a linebacker for the team takes a lot of dedication and hard work to be the best. AlUsofi Rogers GREAT CATCHI That ' s six more points for the Hornet team. Ray Harvey will celebrate after the game tonight. Making a touchdown is the best feeling that a football player can feel. It ' s the feeling of accomplishment that makes the player have that feeling. Varsity Football by Heidi Jo Hutcherson . . . 80

The coaches at East Central try to let the team know that it ii good to show good sportsmanship to the op posing team, win or lose USTENinC CLOSEI As Coach Lyn Boehme talks to the players before the game, they listen closely A pep talk is always good for the team because it can gim the team a bit of confidence to let them know that they are as good as any other team in their league. Working together AUiaon Rogers KEEPING PACE! Taking a quick turnabout Ray Harvey checks to see if (he player behind him is gaining any yetrdage. Trying to keep the ball from the opponents is hard work, especially if the opponent is right behind you. Togetherness is alivays important to any team sport. Without together- ness and team spirit there is no team, Just a bunch of players out to satisfy individual goals. The Hornets have alivays achieved excellence in coming together as a team rather than each player striving for personal accomplishment. A team ' s attitude can determine the out- come of a game before the players ever take the field. A team tvho is not together with pride in search of victory is the least likely to succeed. Hoivever, the Hornets took the field each week filled with the attitude which kept them going week after week, even though there were times the Hornets came out on the short end of the scoreboard. Recovering from a loss takes twice as much character to return the next week and give one hundred and ten percent to the team as compared to a team who becomes reliant in winning week after week. Our team is composed of many different personalities, but when it came down to playing we all thought exactly the same and helped each other to concentrate on win- ning, ' ' Bryce Johnson said. The Hornets have always demonstrated qualities of togetherness and Hornet pride, most noticeably during the playing of the Alma Mater after every game. Victorious or not the Hornet team stopped whatever they were doing and raised their fingers high with emotion and pride. We did many things that brought us closer together such as praying together before as well as after each prac- tice. ' Skipper Brazil said. The Hornet team has bypassed many dif ficulties but has overcome them all. Heidi Jo Huichenon Varsity Football by Heidi Jo Hutcherson . . . 78
