J .V. Softball Coach gave team pride and spirit. Coach Moran was the new coach for the Junior Varsity Soft- ball team. He worked them many hard, long hours after school everyday and some players didn't have a great attitude for this, but they soon learned that practice makes perfect. Those long hours paid off. One player said, f'The practice was really worth it. It gave them more determination to strive for their goals. During the season, the players gained new learning exper- iences and had fun at the same time. They had a good seasong they played well and helped each other out. When one was having a problem with a particular stunt, they would all pitch in so the team would be the best. With all this team effort, the Rams made the 8l-82 year the best one yet. 1980-81 EHS Suwannee 32-31 EHS Santa Fe 23-18 EHS Buchholz 37-22 EHS Newberry 33-40 EHS Buchholz 28-22 EHS Palatka 44-19 EHS GHS 32-45 EHS Suwannee 36-47 EHS Forest 37-23 EHS Santa Fe 44-36 EHS Newberry 33-37 EHS Palatka 33-26 1.

Girls' J .V. Basketball Rams strived for their goal. With the help from Coach Barbara Burrows, the J.V. girls had an overall good season. The team played well and showed a lot of skill, which was gained from the strenuous practice many days after school. They had to play against some pretty tough teams, but with a lot of team effort, strategy, and determination, the Lady Rams reached their goal to win with their heads held high. The Junior Varsity girls had one player more than they had last year and had also gained more girls on the team. Some had the experience from the year before and used it to show the starting players what they had learned their first year. The Lady Rams had an exciting year and the best of luck goes with them for the years to come. 1981-82 EHS Vanguard 12-11 EHS Bradford 11-17 EHS Palatka 2- 8 EHS Forest 9- 6 EHS Santa Fe 6-15 EHS Bradford 4- 8 EHS Gainesville cancelled EHS Buchholz 5- 2 EHS Palatka 3-12 EHS Forest 12- 3 EHS Santa Fe 18-17 EHS Suwannee 13-16 EHS Suwannee 14-13 EHS Gainesville 5-13 EHS Gainesville 5-13 EHS Newberry 2- 5 EHS Buchholz 6-18 EHS Vanguard 5- 4 1.

-- Track Team continued working toward athletic achievement. Pole-vaulting, putting-the-shot, broad jump, and hurdles were all track events participated in by the Eastside Rams. Coach Gustin managed each of these events to produce winning, disciplined athletes. Many practice hours were held after school at the newly- constructed track. Team members often specialized in more than one competitive event. Track meets were held in surrounding cities such as Palatka and Newberry as well as at Eastside. Transportation was the school van. 3 -3 Ah . mfg wyfgp-v L.,.,,,J- 1 301 Track ' -1.21',if?5?il .2 .. 't if 1' K Q. K tt.. 3 1. Team member Roger Newton warms up before a meet. 2.
