After losing 14 seniors from last years 8-2 squad the new licetor Sr. High football team had alot to live up to. As Coach Bob Watson said “I feel like even though we've got peo- ple coming back, last year we had so many seniors we didn't have to teach so much-thcy had all been in the system and knew what to do. As the season opened there were many weak- nesses. The team appeared to lack size and experience. W ith a low number of play- ers they were all working to keep from getting injuries. The coaches felt that if they could take advantage of their strengths and keep a good attitude all year about what they were supposed to do they could finish. With fire in their eyes they ap- proached every game as if it were their last. On the night of October 24th the Cats felt the thrill of victory by defeating the Ola Mus- langs-this was the season’s best moment ’’ The next game was to give them yet an- other win-due to forfeit by St. Paul. As Jr Michael Fields re- calls “We had our good times and bad times. Unfortunately the bad times just outwcightcd the good times.” “Next year will be better! To give credit where credit is duc-to the team of 86-87: though you didn't al- ways seem to be able to look into the eyes of friends and fans and find that positive outlook or great encouragement, you defi- nitely had something. You had a want-to-win a touch of class. Marshall 37-0 Westside 26-10 Danville 39-8 Mayflower 28-12 Dover 34-0 Salem 7-0 Ola 6-13 Yellville 14-10 St. Paul forfit Lamar 22-0 Story by Tommy R

Sweet Smell Of Success The Inside Story . . . “Up, one, two, three, four, five, Down, one, two, three, four, five” If you like sweaty bodies, strained and tightened muscles, plus many hours of hard work, then an off-season training program is just for you. The boys and girls in the training program literally sweat many layers of fat off and strengthen and build muscles. They lift weights, run many miles, thousands upon thousands of sit-ups, and at times roll around the floor, just for a grade. But it is not just for a grade in the athletic program, it is to make the team that a person is on the best physically it can be. Working out takes perserverence and a lot of commitment to tough it out from season to season. Hard work for something in the future is the goal for these athletes. The off-season program headed by Coach Bob Wat- son in football and by the basketball coaches for bas- ketball players, strives for the ultimate team physically and mentally. ------------ I Siory by Twilla I
