Robbie Pelster giving a Lewisti The Mead Raiders Football team hit the lowest low and the highest high during the 1987 season. The Raiders had to overcome more than the opponents they played; they had to overcome the loss of a teammate. The Raiders came into the season with the rating of fifth in class D-1. With the loss of Chris Winkelman. the papers felt that the Raiders were still in an emotional shock. The Raiders put their sorrow into dedication to win the State Title. Their first two opponents felt the dedication, as the Raiders exploded to end the games early. The Raiders then went on to end five more games early, including the first round of the Play-offs. In the second round of the Play-offs, the Raiders avenged the last season loss to Bancroft-Ro- salie with a 36-20 victory. The Raiders then meet up with Lewiston. Lew- iston gave the Raiders a very good test, but they passed and earned a spot in the Championship game. The Raiders then went on to prove their dedication to win the State Title with a 58-36 victory over Ansley. The Raiders still feel the pain of the loss of a teammate, but the State Champi- onship helped ease some of the pain. Tackle him, don't dance with him. Doug Langemeier a ride.

Boys Basketball For 1988 Year To Be Proud Of” The Mead Boys Basketball team, led by their first year coach Jerry Buck, was in celebrating shock after winning the State Football Championship. The jubulation of this carried right into the basket- ball court for the first two or three games leading right up to the Holiday Tournament. They got last in the tournament out of four teams. They lost to East Butler in the first game by nine and in the second game they lost to Cedar Bluffs by nine. After that tourna- ment, their record was 4-3. This tournament indicated to them that they needed to start playing some basketball. After that they went on a rampage winning thirteen of their last fifteen games including wins over Yutan, Neumann and winning the Conference Tourna- ment by defeating Yutan, for the second time this season. In the final game; when they came from behind by ten in the second half; they won by three points. Mead's season came to a disappointing ending when they lost to Cedar Bluffs in Sub-District play. Mead had a season they could be proud of ending at 17-5. Watch out Michael Jordan' Long time no see Gordy What form Rob Oops, Sorry Doug you can have it” 28 BASKETBALL
