State, against all odds A bonfire and icy fields marked the beginning of another diversified and victorious season. Despite disap- pointing early-season losses, the Pacers managed to make this one of their best seasons ever. The team, placed in the unfamiliar position of underdog entering the playoffs, found that being underrat- ed helped their determination. Led by a strong core of experienced sen- iors, the team improved week by wek. As junior quarterback Jason Palumbis stated, “I thought we came together as a team at the end of the season. I’m going to miss the seniors that are leaving. Early season losses were balanced out by blow-outs at Lake Oswego and Clackamas, but the final four weeks were filled with nothing but consistency and the best play all year. The result was advancement “We had to prove to ourselves how good we really were.” to the state semi-final round and a third place finish overall. This marked the third time in the past three years that Lakeridge was one of the top three teams in the state. Outstanding players were Jason Palumbis, Ted Rose, and Paul Coo- per who made All-State teams as ju- niors. Seniors Ted Walton, Mark Held, Jack Beacraft, and Andre Mpitsos played tremendously all season long. However, it was a total team effort which led to their suc- cess. Coach Smythe summed up the season when he said, The expecta- tions are high for our football teams, so when we lose, people are disap- pointed.” Karyn Larson r— Scoreboard Varsity Football LHS OPP Aloha 21 6 Sunset 19 26 Oregon City 33 6 Lake Oswego 42 13 Milwaukee 8 13 Putnam 20 17 Clackamas 62 0 Prairie 20 30 West Linn 47 6 PLAYOFFS Barlow 33 7 Forest Grove 35 2 Tigard 27 18 Medford 7 14 Wins: 9 Losses: 4 Third Place at State 10 ) Varsity Football

The Winning Streak Con- tinues! The J.V. Football Team finished their season by adding 9 consecutive wins to their previous 20. Coach Royce McDaniel emphasized, “Past years have had more talented per- sonnel, but this year’s ball team has been one of the most outstanding teams yet.” This is a big achievement since JV Pacers have been undefeated for the past three and a half years. The whole “Of all the football teams. Junior Varsity has im- proved the most since the first day.” team has worked consistantly all season to keep their record unblemished. McDaniel also claims “Of all the foot- ball teams. Junior Varsity has improved the most since the first day.” Coach McDaniel was unwilling to name any players for their outstanding performance since, “All players worked hard as a team.” He did add that the defense was the strongest part of the team. by Becky Burnett
