With the addition of freshman sports, a new chapter was added to the MN sports saga. “We started a whole new era in sports,” said Tonya Simmons, freshman girls’ basketball player. Overall, freshman sports had a moder- ate season, but the exception was the soccer team and the volleyball team. The freshman soccer Stars had a I0-2 season, losing their only two to junior varsity teams. The volleyball team had a [2-2 re- cord. They also tied for the conference championship. Leaving a Hazelwood West tackler behind, Lamont Brown, freshman, gains more yardage for MN. North’s freshman athletes Football had a growing season. “Watch out next year, because we are determined to do better,” said Lamont Brown, Football’s season ended on a posi- tive note for the freshman players. “We do well in sports, but I’m up- set that we didn’t get the coverage that we deserved.” - Tanya Sim- mons The profound versatility of the school’s new additions caused the sports fans at North to look forward to next season, when our sophomore teams should be ex- cellent. “I think our freshman teams will combine to make fabulous sophomore and JV teams. We're the best;” said Kevin Jones, freshman. Big plans for the future were not just limited to the boys’ teams. “We'll be the best varsity basketball team McCluer North ever had,” said Tonya Simmons. Being a freshman sports player left some freshmen disappointed due to the lack of coverage given them or the some- times poor fan tournout, but most fresh- man players were looking forward to sports and academics at McCluer North in the years to come. With teammates poised and ready, Lamont Brown, freshman, goes up for the jump against an equally effective opponent. Freshman Sports I83
