Maverick golfers look forward to 1986 The Maverick golf team start- ed a new year with five new team members, after five seniors grad- uated last year. The team dropped from its region title and fourth place in state as they failed to meet qualifications in the championship this year. It was a learning experience for us mostly this year, said Coach Carroll Long. Coach Long was named Coach of the year by his fellow coaches in the region. According to Long, the honor was a most surprising one. I didn't even know I had been nominated until I got the letter of congratulations, said Coach Long. The team worked hard and practiced with the local Holly Tree golf pro. Most of the team's home matches were at Holly Tree. According to Dee Tim- mons, lack of talent was not a problem. Practice was good for us but our biggest problem was not being able to cope with the pressures of the match, said Timmons. Three freshmen, and two sophomores and one junior made up the 1985 golf team. A young and inexperienced team, they be- gan planning their strategies to win for the next two years. Golf- er, Randy Galloway said, We were very young and after a year of experience and playing togeth- er, we will make it to the top. Our disadvantage was that most of our opponents were already ex- perienced upperclassmen. We will own the next two years. The golf team finished and placed fourth overall in the re- gion even though they failed to qualify for state, spirits were still Practice makes perfect .. .

I think the boys realized that last year was a year for us to become acquainted with each other and learn to play together as a team, said Coach Long. We will be major contenders for state title next year. Most valuable player for the 1985 season was junior Eric Bus- by. Busby, along with other team members worked diligently through the year to familarize themselves as a team so they could learn to play together effec- tively. I think after a little bit of polishing, added to last year's work, Mauldin has a chance to become a team to be reckoned with, said Coach Long as he summed up the Maverick golf season. As far as I'm concerned, we're right on course! Alicia Brown

Lady Mavs are Alive and Kickin' With a lot of hard work and dedication the 1986 Girls' Soccer team looked forward to a winning season. We start- ed practice in February, it was hard, but we had our share of good times, said Betsy Glibbery. The team was the largest team ever. At least ten girls were always on the bench. Our spirit never lacked, they were yelling even when they weren't playing, said half- back, Pam Miller. Even though sitting on the bench usually was boring for the Lady Mavs, it turned out 118 GM ' foam to be fun, Some of the best times were sitting on the side- lines cheering our team on, said Sharon Jones. Winning four games by shutout, Mauldin worked well as a team. Our strongest point was our sense of unity and how we played together as a team, said Amanda Bow- ers. The team allowed only five goals while the offense scored at least 18. During the last game at the half, the score was tied O-O. It was question- able about who would come out on top. The offense, led by Carrie Glibbery, scored a goal that brought the Maver- icks out on top, Because it was our last game and against rival Hillcrest, made the vic- tory even better, said Betsy Glibbery. Losing only two seniors, Lisa Zedding and Diane Hop- kins, the team hopes to im- prove their standings next year. We were very disap- pointed in the way our season turned out, but since we are only losing two players, next year's team will have more ex- perience playing together, said Paige Mills. Diana Thompson
