This may be how Mer- riam-Webster sees foot- ball but to a Gilbert citi- zen, student, or football player the word football has a whole new meaning. lt is A: a seasonal sport event, B: a place to go on Friday nights, C: a chance at being undefeated, con- ference champs or state champs. This year's Gilbert High football team had an excellent season. Start- ing the year with only eight returning lettermen, it was a whole new foot- ball team complete with 20 Sports Qi-1 GHS 33 Peoria C li ,. A x 'fi t , 2 .ww : : V ..

'ii Sports are a large part of high school activities. If there weren't any sports then there would be no way for students to relieve the tension from homework. Sports are a way to be a part of the school and many benefits come with sports. It's a way to keep from crawling into a shell away from other students. Also, sports allow people from one school to make friends with other people from other schools. To receive these benefits, the students involved have to train hard. They also, must have self-discipline and determination to be successful in sports. The time that is spent on practicing a sport gives you the feeling of participation and that alone is all some people need to be involved in sports. Although some people need more than just a committment to get involved with sports, some need a chance to show their hard work by getting a school letter. Perhaps the outcome isn't that great, but to know you were a part of it is still a good feeling. .Ag ,fwfr 4 ae we l ' Sports Division 19

I p nference Champs? When asked about the teve McCollough season S Laid, iWe seemed like a zpecial group who worked iard and wanted to suc- :eed alia we did. Rich- trd Granado, Dennis Weissen and Carlos Quin- ero, had bitter feelings about the season saying, 'We would have been, :ut we ain't cuz we lost. The Tigers had a great eason and achieved their goal of being undefeated ,nd being conference i m 1 1 l . ' -' 4 4 W..-rr champs. Unfortunately the Tigers were stopped short of a chance at the State Championship when they lost to Peoria in the first round of Arizona State Playoffs on Friday, November 4. The game ended with a tie score of 14-14 and the teams had to play an Arizona Play- off. The Tiger offense had a loss of 6 yards after four downs and Peoria was able to gain l yard win- ning the game I5-14. Ev- eryone on the field and on the stand was devastated. Running through every- one's mind was the thought, lt isnit fair, 9-O, it isn't fair No it doesn't seem fair but it happened however we all know one other thing - We are proud of our con- ference champs!! 3. 9' n-I a sr Head coach Rich Dunn watches the Tigers in action.
