The enthusiasm sparked by the football team's performance is mirrored by the antics of the 1980 Cheerleaders. Front Row: Allison Miller, Mary Telford Roberts, Kim King, Mary Bethany Hale, Nancy Jackson, Marcia Holly, Ginny Donald, Julie Ragland, Jay Faires. Back Row: John Sims Baker, Glenn Baird, Michael Lebovitz, Marc Harwell, Rob McKinnon, Troy VanAtta, Mary Fischer, Joe Bennett, Jeff Brewer, Buddy Jones. Assistant Coach for the undefeated ninth grade footballers, Lance Nickel, explains the motion of the offensive line on a new play. 8 ls Enough Spearheaded by an unalterable will to win, freshmen footballers rolled to an undefeated, 8-O season. Goaded by Captain John Green's banner 1,095 yard season, the offensive unit managed to score 230 points. An impres- sive Matt Brock-Sammy Joyce combination gained 698 yards passing, with every third reception a touchdown. Alston Hamilton and Peter Hunt rounded out the stellar backfield, which averaged just under 33 points per game. Not to be outdone, the strong defensive unit allowed only 7.4 points per game. On three occasions crucial defensive plays led to shutout victories. Standard-bear- ers for the defensive squad were Captain Howell Cle- ments, tackle Scott Tracy, John Crates at safety, and two-way starter Peter Hunt at cornerback. Realizing the need for more action outside of varsity contests, Coach Bubba Simmons and Coach Terry Evans scheduled more games for the B-team. Eventually, the increased agenda payed off with several B-teamers filling voids in the varsity ranks. The most exciting moment of the B-team season came with Bobby Coleman's recep- tion from Edwin Fort for a lead-gaining flea-flicker pass to end the half against M.B.A. Coach Simmons noted the performance of backs Doug Beuoy and Danny Ayers as well as that of Sumo-lineman Anthony Shrader through- out the 5-2 season. - Kip Soteres

A ,rf ,I iz K V n In his twenty-first year as Cross Country Coach, Mr.John Pataky prepares to time the varsity in interval workouts. Making an auspicious debut on the Chattanooga Cross Country Circuit, Chris Bevin moved quickly to third on the McCallie Varsity and here placed 20th in the City-County meet. Coach John Pataky's Cross Coun- try team breezed through the first four meets of the season before fall- ing to Tyner 29-28. Captain Paul Burke and sophomore Blake Young consistently ran one, two. Preparing for the Baylor battle, the harriers conquered their next three oppo- nents, upping their record to 7-1. Sharing in the C.l.L. crown hinged on the defeat of Baylor. With strong grouping, McCallie trounced the Raiders on their own turf, 21-39. Gorm Ferger of Baylor finished first, shadowed by Young, Burke, Chris Bevin, and Arne Keister. Coach Pa- taky noted that runners Bevin, Blitch, Ben Dunlap, and Jay Faires filled the varsity roster with the most boarders of the past decade. Led by Captain David Anderson, the B-Cross Country team blazed the way to a fourth consecutive un- defeated season. Anderson and Brent Pierce led the successful de- fense of the city Cross Country and regional B-team titles. Coached by Mr. John Webster and Mr. Stan Gillespie, the junior high school team continued the winning momentum. Captains Ben Harrison and Matt Powers continually broke records as they led their teammates to seven victories in seven starts. Chris Bevin was named Most lm- proved, Paul Burke named Most Valuable, and Blake Young cited for Excellence.
