HBHJhis year's Varsity Cheerleading Squad was ex- tremely active in adding to the pageantry of the football games and other school activities. Their practices throughout August consisted of hard work, but all the effort paid off early in the season when the girls competed at George Mason University. The squad placed first overall out of twelve other squads after winning every evaluation. In trying to achieve further perfection, they practiced twice a week for two hours each session. Their dedication to superiority was proven at the Regional Cheerleading Competition at the University of Maryland. They captured second place, out of twenty teams from Maryland and Virginia, thus qualifying them for the national competition in Dallas, Texas. In addition to competi- tions, the team sponsored football players of the week. With money from their own treasury, they decorated each celebrated athletes’ locker to add pep to the team’s morale. Seniors Libby Smith and Alicia Terry, along with the Bruin Bears (Rick Frazier and Blair Marshall), are caught up in the winning spirit as Groveton is defeated by Lake Braddock.

The 1983 Lake Braddock Freshman Football Team had an excellent season by finishing with a record of 3-3. Captains Marc Luce (24) and Tim Rascoll (14) led the team through a grueling practice everyday after school. These practices helped form an outstanding team, and the team, showed a lot to me. They showed that they have what it takes to come back from two tough losses and win three straight. They are good com- petitors in the Northern District. Following the season, the traditional selecting of superlatives took place. Those recognized were safety Robbie Carraway (26) as the Best Defensive Player, Bobby Cole as the Most Im- proved Player, running backs Chuck Anderson (30) as the Best Offensive Player, and Cisco Jeter (33) as the Most Valuable Player. Starting quarterback Tim Rascoll (14) said that the team was very successful, but we would have been nowhere without our coaches. Everyone should look for next year’s J.V. Team and District Finals. Some offensive standouts were guard Brian Anderson (72) and wide receiver Mike Christian (22). On the defense, some outstanding players were linebackers David Cerra (57) and Rick Fetgatter (63), and defensive lineman Rob McFarland (55). With the help of Coach Fraser and his coaching staff, the 1983 Freshman Football Team proved that they have what it takes. Attempting a sack. Rob McFarland (55) takes down the quarterback just as he gets the ball off. After a fumble, Mike Christian (22) assists the tackle of a West Springfield player. Following a tough defensive struggle.

As one of Lake Braddock’s most dedicated, school supporting spirit building groups, the Varsity Cheerleading Squad works extremely hard two 2 hour practices a week to uphold their reputation of being one of the best squads in the area. The winter cheerleaders are divided into two groups which alternate cheering for Boys and Girls Varsity Basketball and Varsity Wrestling. This year the squad added some new projects to their tradi- tional spirit boasting list. For instance, they had enlarged pictures made of the Boys Basketball Team and hung them in the gym. Another new concept in the Varsity program is the addition of three sophomores to the squad. The cheerleaders continue their traditional spirit building activities such as decorating the locker rooms as well as the players’ lockers and posting bright, peppy signs encouraging attendance at the games. Commenting on the squad’s spirit program, captain Jenny Rowzie stated, “We’re trying to get the school more interested in the team, the players, and what goes on during the coaQnn -r»-------- ■ .al 'wr-iT VARSITY CHEERLEADERS (WINTER): Cap tains: Dawn Ball.
