(s With an 8-1 record, you have to say it was a good season, commented Coach Frank Guttman referring to the junior var- sity football team. The team had a great attitude. They worked hard and improved each week, he concluded. After a 4 ' ' -8 victory over Lanier, the Raiders suffered a disappointing 8-30 loss from rival LBJ. The team peaked in the middle of the season with a 41-14 win over Johnston and a 35-0 win over McCallum, said Coach Guttman. The Raiders won their final games of the season 18-0 over Anderson, 33-0 over Crockett, and 20-18 over Travis. According to Coach Guttman, the leading offensive linemen were Stacey Bell, Jeff Katon, and Don McCoy. The leading defensive linemen were Katon, Bell, Carl Cannon, Karl Jenkins, and Rusty Boykin. The year ' s leading rushers were Vernon Hadnot with 864 yards, and Charles Ster- ling with 515 yards. The Reagan freshman football team also had a good season. Even though we lost three games, I definitely feel that this was a successful season, said Coach Dennis Ceder. Coach Ceder pointed out that all the games were lost by six or fewer points. Despite these losses, the freshman team had high scoring victories against Johnston 38-0, and Anderson 30-0 in pre- season play. The players learned what they needed to learn on the freshman level. They learned the fundamentals and they learned about winning, concluded Coach Ceder. Junior varsity player Charles Sterling runs with the ball on a quarterback keeper easily, 47-8. By the end of the season. iheJV team had eight wins and one loss, half against Lanier in the first JV district game September 10. Reagan won the game a game behind LBJ.

M© W I feel like this is the best volleyball team from Reagan. Every year our pro- gram gets better and better. I ' m proud of the players because of their enthusiasm and hustle, commented Coach Cheryl Lyman. Before district play began, the girls ' var- sity volleyball team played in the Kerrville tournament August 29 and the Big Red tournament September 3. At both events, team co-captain Lynda Ambrose was named to the all-district team and Reagan won consolation out of 16 participants. Although the team met a loss at their first district game against Austin 10-15, 15-9, 13-15, they came back and defeated LBJ 15-9, 15-2. Reagan then fell to Johnston 5-15, 5-15, and to McCallum 8-15, 15-7, 13-15. The spikers won their next four games, including an impressive 15-7, 15-4 triumph over the district leader, Lanier. This brought their first half record to 5-3. Starting off second-half play with a 15- 11, 15-8 win over LBJ, Reagan was looking forward to a victorious remainder of the season, but then lost to Austin 5-15, 9-15, and Johnston 14-16, 7-15. The spikers came back to defeat McCallum 15-10, 12- 15, 15-4, were stopped by Anderson 15-12, 10-15, 12-15, and then won against Crockett 15-8, 15-8. The Raiders ended the season with a district record of 8-8. Deborah Wilborn felt that We had some real good games when we played as a team. But in a couple of games we had, like a downfall, where we weren ' t communicating.
