Bearcats atsphy Mmm- Kf ven though we had a losing season, I feel that it left me with a winner's attitude towards myself and my teammates, exclaimed senior Alan Morey. The Cats displayed a lot of character, despite the fact they were unable to come away with a victory. I always had this feeling that we would win our next game. Unfortunately, we didn't win any games, but it was a great attribute that no- body quit, said senior Kerry Herlan. The season provided some close games and excit- ing moments. The Smoky Valley ballgame was a heart- breaker for the Cats early in LIMBRELLA TIME: While trying to stay dry, junior Laura Long and sen- ior Jeanette Wright record stats. fPhoto by Kimberly Kohlsj GOING DOWN: Senior Paul Snyder tries to gain yardage, but is stopped by a Sacred Heart Knight during the Homecoming game. iPhoto by Marisa Ericsonj 20 Football the season. With only three ticks left on the clock, Smoky Valley shattered the Cats' chances for a victory with a field goal, leaving the final score 23-21. I believe that the team improved the most when we played Concordia, said Her- lan. Although we lost 20-12 to Concordia, the team had their best effort of the year. Going O-9 was the farthest thing from the players' minds when entering the seasong however, as the sea- son progressed the thrill of competition and enthusiasm were just a few elements that carried the Cats through the season.

Ellsworth struggled in their first match against Min- neapolis but had no trouble blowing Southeast away in the finals. I was scared, junior Debbie Davis said about the Minneapolis match when the team was down nine to 13. l thought our season was going to end there, and I didn't want it to. Many of the girls felt they had the responsibility of de- fending last year's State Championship, and that the key to doing this would be working together as a team and having a winning re- cord. Even though we didn't have the same players on our team as last year, it was our duty to make our team the best it could be. l felt our team was strong enough to , Even though we didn 't have the same players on ,our team as last year, its was our duty tomake our team the best it could be. i t A s Jeanette Wright make it to State, and we did! said senior setter Jean- ette Wright. Finding the right combina- tion of players to play, hav- ing a winning season, and qualifying for State competi- tion were some of the goals Coach Vaudine Maddux set for her team at the begin- ning of the season. Maddux said the girls ful- filled these goals by using the 3 D's-desire, determina- tion, and discipline. The whole team worked hard this season. They had a lot to live up to. There were many times during the sea- son when it would have been easy to let up but they didn't, and it paid off in the end. The lady Bearcats fin- ished their season with a 24- ll record. ln addition to this winning record, the team fin- ished second in each of its regular season tournaments and third in the NCAA league. NCAA all league team honors went to Debbie Davis and Stephanie Friesen for making the first team while Shelby Landon was named to the second team, and Jeanette Wright received honorable mention.
