Mavericks kick their way to upperstate The Mauldin boys' varsity squad had a winning season once again. The Mavs started off slowly but finished strong, with an overall season record of 9 wins and 4 losses. After the first seven games of the season, Mauldin was having problems working as a team. With a record of 4-3, team mem- bers were discouraged and hoped for better things. I think it was just because we were all a new team and hadn't played that much together, said Mavs right wing, Charlie Haines. After their 1-4 loss to T.L. Hanna, the Mavericks compiled a six game winning streak. Fin- ishing with a 6-1 record for the region, the Mavs had one more shot at a state championship. They had captured the seventh seed in the upper state playoffs. Coach Greg Snoad explained this sudden burst of energy, The loss to Hanna gave us a greater confidence because we played well when we were downp then the victories over Pickens and highly-ranked Wade Hampton carried us into the Playoffs. The Mavericks met Irmo in the first round of the playoffs. The Mavs lost the game O-1. Al- though the team had a slight de- fensive breakdown, and missed three golden opportunities to score, we probably played our best game ever, said Coach Snoad. The season was full of hope, excitement, good times, and ended with everyone looking forward to next year. The team expected another productive season next year. Tre- A thorn between two roses.

The Mavs will only lose five seniors: Steve Pachella, Kenny Baldwin, Johnny Mitchell, David Schmid, and Trevor Schliessit. Coach Snoad expected that 35 to 45 people would tryout for those open spots. There will also be an- other addition, George Youstra, Social Studies teacher, will help Coach this year. We have a lot of talent and should be definate contenders for the title this year, said Coach Youstra. Derrick Chandler said, We will pick up some people that had eligibility problems. With them and the team we had last year, we should destroy. Diana Thompson, Alicia Brown
