They had entered the sold-out gym of more than 15.000 people as the team that could not be stopped. In a few short hours the dreams of the team and their fans had been shattered. But even through woeful sobs could be heard their words of consolation, We ' ll be back next year. Weeks before they played for their fans they gave their best in practice. Their efforts would not always guar- antee victory but they continued Just the same. As the warm sweat rolled tearlike down their aching bodies, they could think of nothing but rest. They weren ' t Just doing it for them- selves but for their teammates. They didn ' t want to be the one to let the team or the school down. They knew that as long as they did their best everyone would be proud. Each year they give their time sweat and dedication to the sport they love. They are the athletes. The moves they make seem so simple actually took hours of endless prac- tice to perfect. Whether they ' re catch- ing a forty-yard pass, going for a slam, diving for a ball, or giving their last burst of energy to cross the finish line, the athletes always gave their all. Sports was a combination of the players and the fans. Both gave to each other and received much in re- turn. For the fans the athletic events gave them entertainment and in re- turn the players received the support they needed. 75 . . . Sports
