Life with a jock is not al- ways what it's cracked up to be. It takes a lot of hard work and often it takes neglecting other things. Being a jock takes a lot of hard work and sweat, said Tom Spen- cer, junior. If you want to achieve something, no matter what it is you have to give it your all. Mike Olivio, senior, agrees. He and his team- mates practice two hours a day, six days a week. Add the extra pressure of school work and home life and it can be difficult. Mike added that he could not handle all that extra pressure without the sup- port of friends and family. Support and cheer is what keeps me going, stated Matt Dillon, senior, who added, that no mat- ter if the team was win- ning or losing, people are always cheering the play- ers on. These could be the most important words to a jock, agreed Bub Wiseman. Without them, there's no use in putting in all that extra time and work. Although jocks seem to thrive for support and cheer, they also hunger for satisfaction. You have to satisfy yourself before you can satisfy someone else, said John Hardesty. It may not be easy, but it's living.

A lot of sweat. A lot of tears. A lot of disappoint- ments. A lot of sacrifice. A common bond held these girls together ... A bond so strong that many weeknights and week- ends were sacrificed for one goal . . . WINNING! Winning the game! Building confidence in each other and carrying that confidence over into every game keyed up the young team. Some- times that confidence proved too much. Going into a game with too much confidence “could be bad remarked fresh- man guard, Christina Gray. However, with every game, a new dimension would arise. For Coach Rod Auvil, all that sweat, all that pain, all that sacri- fice, showed up at the Coalton game. Down by 13 points with less than two minutes to go. the team came back to win High scoring games, such as the 97 points canned during the Notre Dame contest helped to build the young team's ego. The season ended. The pain, sweat and tears were all put aside. Uni- forms were returned and tennis shoes retired. It was a time for reviewing. “Yes. they may have been young, mused Coach Auvil, “but they played well.
