The only football game of the year brought plenty of: Jammed fingers bruised bodies and broken nails Practice for powderpuff went on for several weeks for both the seniors and the juniors. Recruiting managers, team members and coaches was only part of the preparation. Learning the plays, choosing uniforms and cheer- leaders was also part of the fun. Mr. Brindley, who was a senior class sponsor, was the coach for the junior class. Mr. Brindley, in all fair- ness, had the right to manage the jun- iors but many seniors felt otherwise. “We felt that Mr. Brindley did the senior class injustice by not being our coach and yet he sponsors our class. He wouldn’t be our coach because he said ‘he didn ' t want to be on a losing team. ' We showed him, because actu- ally we didn’t work that hard, and his juniors worked their tails off,” said Quarterback Mary Anderson, receives the snap to start the play. The seniors rallied late to tie the game, 7-7. Tammy Collins. Mr. Metcalf was the manager for the senior class. Mr. Rajchel even stopped by and gave Mr. Metcalf some ideas on the plays to be used. Paul Erickson, Scott Parks, Tim Crow- ley and Glen Caulk helped coach the girls. There were 25 juniors on the team even though not all of them played. They said they planned on winning at all costs. Nearly every guy and girl was involved even if cheering their team on to victory was the only thing they did. Everyday for 2 Vi weeks Mr. Brindley made the girls practice, try- ing to make a winning team. The first game was cancelled, however, on account of rain. Disap- pointment was strong. Many students wanted to play rain or shine. The rain date, two days later, was sunny but cold. The game was played as stu- dents froze fingers and fannys while With the seniors in close pursuit, Selena Scott makes her way down the football field. watching the annual affair. “Winning isn ' t always everything but having fun is. I enjoyed the game. Everyone seemed to be having a good time, commented Deanna Durham. As for the injuries, there was only one in the game. Karen McMillioij hurt her knee in which a foul was called on the juniors. Practice, how- ever, took a heavier toll. Selena Scott left practice one night with a black eye after a collision with Nicky Bur- gess. The game ended in a tie score of 7-7. No overtime was played because the buses were waiting to take the stu- dents home. “I’m glad it was a tie even though I wish we would have won, Selena Scott said. “I guess it’s best for every- one. That way everyone comes out a winner. 26 — Powderpuff Football

Paul Erickson, a senior player, reasoned “I felt that the outcome of the game should have been better. But due to the fact that coaches are also considered faculty, we didn’t have much of a chance. He also men- tioned that the team only had a couple of practices. Mr. Arden Smith admitted the seniors kept him from doing his best. I would have played a lot better but Todd Uran’s tough defense kept me from scoring.” According to Mr. Smith, “It was fun to play. It made me feel young again.” Even with all this to back up the team, the seniors lost, 30-43. The 1981 annual senior-faculty game was a suc- cess according to Mr. Granger. “It was a financial success for the National and Junior National Honor Societies. It was also a success for the whole school, because it was played in a true sportsman spirit. They were out there to play and win, not to revenge.” Tickets and concessions brought in $400. Plans for this money included the purchase of certificates and pens. It also helped pay for the induction ceremony and service work. Intense concentration and skill would have helped Mr. John Brindley, but he missed the free throw attempt. Doug Robinson searches for someone to pass the ball to. The other seniors searched for a victory, in vain. There was no stopping John Holeman from getting this shot. Mr. Farley and Scott Parks could only wait to rebound. Senior Faculty Basketball — 27
