ROO SPORTS DEMAND 110% Some people are satisfied with giving just 100% and believing that that is the best effort. The best is nothing short of 110% when your body aches and you ' re too tired to sleep, then you mentally know you gave it your all and you ' re pleased with yourself. Set your goals high and strive for perfection because there is no limit to your talent and ability in sports. If you practice and practice striving for ex- cellence and giving 1 10% all the time, your lit- tle talent may just not stop at high school, it may extend to the college level and even some- day to the professional rankings. When you ' re down and losing, reach for something extra within yourself. To be a winner in sports give 110% all the time, and if you lose you will not feel bad because you have had the satisfaction of knowing you did your best. Hard work, team- work, thorough preparation, determination, leadership and the desire to win all adds up to one big victory! KILLEEN lets the Bulldogs know who is number one. CARLOS QUINONES shows great stride in his winning Crosscountry run. BAM MOZEE, Stephanie Revelle shows teamwork in a vic- tory against Round Rock Westwood. THE Maroon Machine rolls on. 10 — OPENING

AN INSIDE SPORTS STORY The outcome of any game may be a major factor on a player ' s emotions. A player practices so hard for one big victory and then he is hit with a devastating blow of defeat, he feels like his v hole life has ended after losing the most important game of the entire season. With all this on his mind he wants to be isolated away from others, hiding his expressions of disappointment, frustration, sadness, and the shame of los- ing on his face. When all this emotion builds up until he can no longer hold them back, the result is a sudden outburst of tears or anger, yet he always looks back on a game thinking of his mistakes, trying to improve them in his thoughts. What would have hap- pened if he would have made those lay-ups that he missed in the district title game. He still has to face the emotional fans cheering or booing whichever the case may be. Although the pain is there he knows in his mind that the next time he plays he has to give it his best shot no matter what. All this adds up to a player being able to enjoy the thrill of victory, but at the same time accepting the agony of defeat. COACH FRITTLE throws in his white flag.
