anurnninu YEA RESULTS I HEADWAY Some call it fate or judgment calls, but graders help create good breaks We've come a long way, traveled so very far, accomplished so very muchg yet, we still had a great dis- tance left to go. ' ' t's easy to practice and get ready for a game when you're winning, but when you're having a losing season you have to practice and prepare with your heart, said Coach Rod Carlson. Lyman's football team didn't win a lot of games, but their goal was to improve. We were a young team, so it took a few games for us to mature, Carlson said. Coach Del Tumer noted, A winning record is not the only way to judge a success- ful team. It is important, but not the only way. Coach Rob Wangerin added, I don't care what the score- board said. lf you lost by 30 points, but gave 100 percent, you are still winners. If you won by 30 points but didn't have to try or really work hard, are you still really winners? I don't think so. The coaches all believed that captains Kurt Giles and Carl Menck, along with co- mm Sports - Varsity Football captains Clint Hallam, Deon Thomas, Jerry Davidson, Jay Buckley, Todd Rollins, and Spinner Jones led the team. Sophomore Troy Barnes respected the seniors. He said, They kept the players up, the enthusiasm high. They kept a friend relation- ship between playersf' Giles noted, We are all buddies on and off the field. We stick up for each other and help each other out. Losing seniors always hurts. These were the greatest group of kids I have ever worked with. I'm sorry to see them go, Turner said. Carlson admired them because they never quit or gave up. When the going got tough, they could have just 'trashed' it, but they didn't. They stuck with it all the way to the end. Where the talent left off is where their hearts began, Carlson added. All was not lost for the team though, as they did have some high points. Clint Hallam was the 'defensive standout' with more than half of all tackles for the whole team. Four seniors made it to the All-Conference Football Team. Carl Menck was first team offensive tackle and second team defensive lineman. Others honored were Clint Hallam second team defensive linebacker, Deon Thomas second team running back, Jay Buckley second team punter, and Darrin Ferguson second team defensive cornerback. Giles said he was kind of glad that the season was over. We had a losing season. Carl and I discussed it, we would like to play next year, but we know we can't, Giles added. Barnes said the team had a lot of spirit. He noted, 'The people who stayed out had a lot of self discipline. We learned new things and had a building season. Carlson added, We've come a long way, traveled so very far, accomplished so very much, yet, we still had a great distance left to go. Tina Elmer Practicing hard.

Running it in. The J.V. offensive team goes in for another touchdown against Big Piney. Field drills. Keeping the plays and feet in the game is the idea of I.V. Coach Loren Huntsman. Wann, ntmnv, AN TIED F03 THE SEASO Even games lost were close -- three points made the dyfference We had an interesting turn of events with the game against Kemmerer. all season was warm. A half inch of snow fell one night, but it melted during the day. The rain created a little mud for about three days. The weather was foreshad- owing a good JV football season and a good crowd. Cheerleader Traci Platts said, '5More people came to the games because of the warmer weather? Although they had only two impressive wins over the Pinedale Wranglers and Kemmerer Rangers, Head JV Coach Loren Huntsman added, We had an interest- ing tum of events with the game against Kemmerer. In Ella Sp orts JV Football the last seconds of the game we were kicking for the extra point when we jumped the line. He said the referee blew the whistle, but to Kemmerer's misfortune, it was a little late because we had already snapped the ball. Kemmerer declined the penalty so the game would end and leave it tied. He argued with the referee for about ten minutes because he blew the whistle late and Lyman was supposed to get the ball back with a five yard penalty for that reason. They kicked again and won. The JV lost to the Mt. View Buffs and to the Big Piney Punchers. The greatest difference between the two defeats was three points. Huntsman said, We had a strong team with three or four boys playing varsity. Judging from the way we played last year I would have guessed we might have done a little better, but losing only by two and three points was good. Team member Paxton Powers added, Playing JV was a lot nicer than playing freshmen football. Sophomore David Hill- stead noted, The crowd helped us a lot throughout the year, and they gave us the support we needed. Junior Rawdy Rollins added, The mothers really got involved yelling and screaming for their children. Miguel Apezteguia .Y5-s, .,, .. at-wk
