Super Spirit Reaches New Heights Life as a cheerleader can be very trying sometimes. There’s alot of hardwork, sweat and dedication that goes into this sport. The work begins with tryouts in the spring, and continues during camp in the summer, football in the fall and basketball in the winter. The time spent on making up new cheers, routines, signs and baking cakes (just to name a few of the duties) is immeasurable, while the rewards are often few. One of the biggest rewards I got all year, though, was looking up into our student body at our district tournament basketball game. It is impossible to describe the pride and joy I felt when a hundred and some students stood two-bleacher sections high all painted purple and gold and shouting, “WE ARE VIKINGS!” It was great! Another reward was that both the varsity and the junior varsity cheerleading squads took first place at the NWCA camp we attended this summer. It had been five years since a Leipsic squad took first place. The cheerleaders also excelled this year by holding pep rallies, sponsoring spirit week and, of course, cheering their teams on to victory. — Chris Niese Junior Varsity Cheerleaders: Natalie Simon, Traci Gillespie, Tami Five Seniors made up the majority of the Varsity squad Nuveman — Captain, Abby Boyer, Renee Rader and Shannon Kim- mot i nnconl 1

Vikings Show Improvement On Gridiron What was Coach Phillips going to do different this season? Many people didn’t know what to expect from this year’s Vikings football team but what the people got was a more improved team. The Vikings started out strong with a close loss to arch rival Patrick Henry. This season the Vikings featured a strong running attack with Steve Hazleton and Adam Tussing leading the way. Coach Phillips led the Vikings to a 3-7 record in which they lost some very close games. Many of the vikings received honors in the BVC. — Randy Schroeder, Kevin Knueven Viking receiver takes the hit on an incomplete pass. 20 Football Row 1: Dan Kimmet, Doug Kreinbrink, Ron Bruce, Joe Berger, Chad Rigel, Steve Hazelton, Jim Dillinger, Louis Laubenthal, Carl Badertscher, Coach Phillips.
