Sports As the year began, no one imagined all the different changes and additions that would take place in the up- coming ten months. The first to become known was the soccer team. The newly organized team began workouts in the fall and play in the winter. The next change came at the close of football season. Head Coach Jerry Sanders resigned and the former defensive coordinator Carl Copeland took over as the new athletic director. When Copeland took over, he brought with him hair codes which were strictly enforced. Then came the basketball season. To the delight of all the supporters and players, the girls varsity team competed in district play with an impressive 160 record. The junior varsity team also won district, which showed promise for the upcoming years. The boys varsity team defeated Richland in both district meetings for the first time in seventeen years, which climaxed their winning season. Visits from college scouts became an everyday occur- rence. Todd Phelps, Joanna Hooker, Kathy Anderson and Jay Crane brought in representatives from all over the country. These new features added a refreshing ad- dition to the athletic aspect of student life. The newest U.l.L. sport to come to the curriculum was soccer. Coach Lance Stephens took charge of this team, which consisted of a majority of sophomores, and formed them into players. 146 Sports f
