Loretto High School - Mustang Yearbook (Loretto, TN)

Text from Pages 1 - 152 of the 1982 volume:

Loretto High School Loretto, TN The Mustang 2 introduction A yearbook by itself is nothing more than a collection of pictures and captions. Without the people who make the events in the book happen, a yearbook would be no more interesting than a textbook. The lives of the students and faculty are the elements that bring to life all the pages of the book. This book is a view of the times of our lives for the school year 1981-82. It shows the things that people will want to remember — and maybe a few that they won't — the things that made this year special. It would be impossible to put everything everyone thinks is important, but maybe we managed to give a representation of our school. This is our year and we give it to you in the hopes that it will help you remember your years at LHS and that you will be able to look back and smile. introduction 5 6 homecoming THE SOUTH'S GONNA DO IT AGAIN 4 l , . .1 1 A. •_, VV J «raw BAUD mo,chir 9 mutton?' 4 1 Homecoming 1981 was cer- tainly a one that will be re- membered. It definitely had more problems than celebrations past. The Homecoming festivities began on Thursday with the bonfire that night. The stu- dents arrived full of enthu- siasm and in high spirits ready to cheer on their team. On Friday the judging of the halls and the parade were the activities of the day. Like everything else, budgets for supplies were cut this year and the stu- dents had to do creative planning to make sure the floats were completed. All in all the decorations were the finest ever constructed. The floats nearly fell victim to a rainstorm that had been threatening all morning. Through the timely use of plastic covering the floats were saved and the parade was a big success. The bonfire and parade seemed to hold promise of things to come at the game that night. Loretto felt sure of a victory, but it was not meant to be. The Mustangs were defeated by BCA, rather an ironic end to a week so full of preparation and hard work.

organization for juniors and seniors. Membership is based on academic achievement, character, and leadership ability. Members not only strive to maintain high academic standards, but also seek to benefit their school and community through service projects. On October 27, 1981, twenty-three new members were inducted into the club. This addition brought membership to fifty. All members participated in a fund-raising drive for St. Jude's Hospital. A total of $1605.17 was collected in the community drive. Forty-one members left Loretto High School to attend the State Beta Convention in Murfreesboro on Friday April 2, 1982.

They had missed a bowl bid the previous year and had high hopes of a great season. The season opener matched the Mustangs with state playoff power, Hohenwald. The Mustangs played Hohenwald even for almost all the first half but gave up seven points before heading to the locker room. The Mustangs played a hard second half but couldn't get the offense off-track. The final score was 20-0 Hohnwald. A week later the Mustangs boarded the bus for the first of six games on the road as they traveled to Waterloo, Alabama. The games started with a tough Mustang defense causing Waterloo to fumble. After three plays )oey Dishongh sprang out around the left side and scored from eleven yards out. Mike Dishongh added the P.A.T. to give Loretto a 7-0 lead. For the next twelve minutes the defenses prevailed. Prior to halftime Waterloo scored but the P.A.T. was broken up. The half time score was 7-6 Loretto. In the third quarter action high bad snap on a punt caused the Mustangs to give up a safety. Both defenses ruled until the final play of the game. Waterloo scored and Loretto lost 14-7. Next week the Mustangs traveled to Mt. Pleasant to face the Tigers and the All-State running back, Darryl Cooper. The Tiger's speed proved to be too much for the Mustangs as Mt. Pleasant piled up a 27-8 win. The Mustangs only touchdown came when Steve McMasters powered the ball over from the five-yard line. football 95 SEASON HAS UPS AND DOWNS % MUSTANG ACTION 81 97 The week after the loss to Mt. Pleasant, the Mustangs traveled to Chapel Hill to meet the Rockets which turned out to be the most controversial game of the season. Loretto, entering Chapel Hill with a 0-3 record, played strong defense and solid offense. Loretto drew first blood on a touchdown run by Steve McMasters. Minutes later Kevin Hunt powered over from the four. The halftime score was 21-14, Chapel Hill. The second half turned into a defensive battle until Loretto began a late surge. With only seconds left in the game, Loretto was in scoring position with the ball on the Rockets nine-yard line. A mistaken call by an unknowledagble official gave the ball to Chapel Hill after a Chapel Hill penalty. An irate Coach Owens could not change the officials mind and Loretto watched the clock run down on their fourth defeat in a row. After a three-week road stretch, Loretto returned home for a shoot-out with Lynchburg. Lynchburg, however, forgot to bring their guns. The Mustangs won their first game in five starts — 36-14. Scoring touchdowns for the Mustangs were Kevin Hunt, Pat James, Steve McMasters and Paul Walters. Mike lames and Mike Dishongh both tossed TD's and Jeff Lumpkins and |oey Dishongh piled up some impressive yards on returns and interceptions. Mike Dishongh added a fourth quarter field goal to go along with the P.A.T.'s. This turned out to be the Mustangs night as they sent hapless Moore County home with a 36-14 spanking. The next week was Homecoming. Homecoming didn't bother the Mustangs as they lost to BCA — 33-14. During the sixth week of the season, the Mustangs traveled south to face T.M. Rogers. Luck didn't follow them as Loretto was slapped with a 49-7 loss. The next week wasn't much better. Wilson High invaded Loretto and walked away with a 35-7 win. After back to back losses, the Mustangs traveled to Waynesboro hoping to pick up an easy win. It didn't happen that way. Loretto had one touchdown called back and eventually lost the game 14-0. 98 For the season finals, Loretto made a long journey to Huntland, Tennessee, alma mater of Tennessee's Johnny Majors. The game jumped off to a quick start after Huntland scored on the second play of the game. With less than one minute gone in the game Huntland led Loretto 6-0. After the kickoff Mike Dishongh quarterbacked the team on a 66 yard drive. Steve McMasters plunged over from the thirteen yard line and with Dishongh's P.A.T. Loretto led 7-6 and never looked back. Joey Dishongh and Pat James recovered a fumble and picked off a pass while Kevin Hunt and Milton Barnett held Huntland at the line and the first half ended with Loretto heading 7-6. Mike Dishongh capped off a sixty yard scoring drive with a six yard run and with the P.A.T. Loretto led 14-6. After Joey Dishongh scampered 60 yards on a Huntland fumble, brother Mike booted a 26 yard field goal. For seniors Joey Dishongh, Kevin Hunt, Milton Barnett, Mike Gilley, Allen Clifton, Jeff Lumpkins and Tim Gooch the 1981 season was one of ups and downs but it was one worth remembering. 99 VOLLEYBALL 81 REBUILDING The Lady Mustangs volley- ball team started their fall practice with a lot of spirit and dedication and high hopes of returning to the regional tournament. The Lady Mustangs were led by Coach Debra Earnest. Lynn Crabb and Tammye Richter made the all-district team and provided leader- ship for the young volley- ball team. YEAR Despite fielding a young team, the Lady Mustangs managed a 12-8 record and captured big wins over Co- lumbia, Culleoka, Brent- wood, and Hampshire. 100 FOR GIRLS VOLLEYBALL Lady Mustangs Manage To Serve A Winning Season 101 81-82 LADY MUSTANGS (Kneeling) L to R: Teresa Smith, Darla McMackin, Lisa Elkins, Paula Huckaba, Gayla Newton (Standing) Mgr.

The Lady Mustangs were led by Coaches Grant Earnest and Debra Earnest and five seniors, Lynn Crabb, Tammye Richter, Gayla Newton, Beverly Rose, and Lisa Bluewater Elkins. The Lady Mustangs opened the season against a tough county rival, Lawrence County High School and lost a thriller 56-49. Another of their exciting games was a double over-time game against Summertown High School which the Lady Mustangs won 65-62. The Lady Mustangs closed out the season at home against Centerville and won their final home game at L.H.S. 63-52, the following week. 104 105 DISTRICT TOURNEY ENDS SEASON EARLY The Lady Mustangs met Centerville again in the first round of the District Tournament and were defeated 61- 50. The loss marked the first time L.H.S. had been put out of the dis- trict tournament in the first round in eleven years. Lynn Crabb was named to the All-District Team. Lynn Crabb and Tammye Richter were also hon- ored by being named to the All-Law- rence County first team. The Lady Mustangs ended their sea- son with a 11-10 record. t 106 ft L' BOYS BASKETBALL RUN AND GUN Graduation completely eliminated the 1980-81 starting five and with only one experienced player re- turning to the hardwood, many fans felt 81-82 would be a lean sea- son for the Mustangs.Three seniors and a crop of juniors hit the floor for the season opener against county arch-rival, Lawrenceburg. The young Mustangs put up a good fight before bowing out to the Wildcats in a ten point decision. In the home opener the boys tast- ed defeat a second time at the hands of district contender Frank- lin Page but bounced back a few days later to hand the Collinwood Trojans a ten point loss. On December 5 the Summertown Eagles flew into the Loretto gym and stole a ten point victory from the Mustangs. The Loretto boys had a comfortable eleven point going into the fourth quarter but lost the lead with four minutes left in the game. After the Summer- town game Mr. Simbeck and Coach Rogers took over the coaching duties due to Coach Bar- nett's illness. The new coaches quickly got their feet wet against always powerful Pulaski. The Bobcats gave Loretto a loss in double overtime. Collin- wood came to Loretto and the Mustangs handed them a ten point loss. During the after Christmas stretch the Mustangs caught fire. Employ- ing a run and gun offense and an aggressive defense, the boys rolled up impressive wins over Centerville, Rogers, and Richland and lost several one and two point decisions, including an overtime loss to B.G.A. 107 MUSTANG ACTION AT IT'S BEST m w 7 v V f 108 James Pillows David Springer Coach Simbeck Coach Rogers Varsity “W K v 'v5KJ!

In the district opener, the Mustangs were matched against power- ful Battle Ground Academy. B.G.A. had defeated the Mus- tangs in the two previous meetings, however, after four quarters of hard fought bas- ketball the Mustangs edged out a point victory. The super win moved the Mustangs into the semi-finals against power- ful Page. Though the boys had improved from their last meeting, they were still no match for Franklin as the Page team won 67-54. The final win of the 81-82 sea- son came in the district conso- lation game. The Mustangs were matched against Pulaski, a team they had not defeated in ten years. Aggressive de- fense and hot shooting gave the Mustangs an impressive 68-62 victory. The win gave Loretto a third place in the district and moved them into the regional tournament. In the Regional Tournament the Mustangs met state con- tender, Waverly. Waverly blew the game wide open with a 40-6 scoring burst and left the Mustangs helpless. The Mustangs Staged a come- back but it was too little and too late. The season quickly ended. It was a great year for seniors John Kimbrell, Tharon Moore, Chris Fleming and the rest of the team. As a footnote to the season, John Kimbrell was awarded a full basketball schloarship to David Lips- comb College. in BASEBALL TEAM POSTS WINNING SEASON 82 Baseball Team — Front Row — Eddie Leatherwood, Joey Dishongh, Kevin Hunt, Mike James, Jeff Lumpkins, Darrell Myrick, Randy Flippo Back Row - Tim Burden, Mike Dishongh, Pat James, Randy Hood, Delane Thigpen, Steve Johns, Darren MacAf- fee, Bobby Killen, John Jacobs The Mustangs baseball team, led by Coach Allen Rogers and four returning seniors, Kevin Hunt, Joey Dishongh, Delane Thigpen, and Eddie Leatherwood, started spring workouts with hopes of improving on the preceding years record.
