Athletics bring out the pride in Memorial's students completely. Whether an athlete or spectator, every person is proud to be able to yell We're number one. Memorial has consistently produced top-notch athletes and teams. Athletics is a highly enrolled area in high school. In 1980, 28.3 per cent of all students at Memorial par- ticipated in sports. Over 40 per cent of the boys participated. The sports season began with the most supported of the sports, football. The Mustang Varsity jumped into an exciting District race. However, as the season came to a close, the Mustangs had fallen just one game short of a repeated District reign and another trip to the playoffs. Varsity volleyball also came in a close second at the end of District play. As basketball season opened, Memorial was ready for a number one rating. The Varsity squad responded, and at the end of the first round of play, the team had an undefeated record and led the race by a game. The team ended the season with more excellent playing. Memorial had found its winner. Individuals also brought Memorial recognition. Diver Art Conley won sixth in the State and also an eighth place finish in a national meet in California. Each sport had individual stars helping to lead the team. In football, Seniors Ben Heinrich and Glenn Hendrickson were outstanding achievers. In baseball, Senior David Baldwin, a pitcher received several scholar- ship offers for his efforts. Team Captain of the Varsity basketball squad was Senior Reid Cettys. Reid was named to the first string All-District team in 1980. Senior Mimi Morales participated in both volleyball and softball with equal ability and junior Ellen Ewing also stood out on the Varsity volleyball team. Sophomores such as Brian Burr, Tammie Graef and Anne Hulbert also contributed greatly to the sports of football, swimming and tennis. All of these individuals were fine examples of the type of athlete for which Memorial is noted. They were the leaders, but every athlete gave it his all. Athletics gave everyone something to yell about and it was exciting. Memorial's athletes competed and succeeded, branding their work with pride. w 84 I Sports Afternoon workouts conditioned track members for the season.
