Cinderella luck fcont'dl The Lions weren't out the playoff picture . . . not yet. They could still win their remaining games and make it to the playoffs. By then, however, luck had deserted them. The breaks began to fall the wrong way. With Homecoming came the Bulldogs of Altus. The game was preceeded with the usual festivities. There were parades and floats and door decoration contests. And the game was every bit as exciting as its billing. lt was a defensive battle to the very end. With only a few minutes to goin the game, the Lions led 8-7, but enough time remained for the Bulldogs to pull off a heart-breaker, 13-8. The Lions enjoyed their final vic- tory of the season against the Law- ton Wolverines, 21-14, and looked forward to the big game of the year. . . Norman. Beat Norman became a familiar battle cry. Again the game was pre- ceeded with good-natured en- thusiasm and festive events. And just like instant replay, the game was everything it was played up to be. With two minutes remaining the Lions took a 7-6 edge. lt was a mat- ter ofthe defense holding the Tigers back. Up to then they had been pretty successful, but the Tigers put on a spectacular drive to win the game with two seconds remaining. The final score was 13-7. A final game remained against Putnam City West. The season ended much the same way as it had been in so many other games. It looked as though the Lions would go into overtime. But again, as it had happened so many times before, the Patriots pulled it out in the final sec- onds, walking away with a thriller, 14-7. Even the final tally was an indica- tion of a close year. The Lions won five and lost five to break even. Luck was with them one year, it deserted them the next. A year from now? Well, with a little bit of luck . ..

Sealions unbeaten in second season The undefeated swimming team with the record of 8-0, has carried out the winning tradition for two years. At the Dallas Invitational meet Jan. 14, the Boys team placed third out of twenty five teams there. The relay team, consisting of Lee Walther, John Flammang, Chris Cantwell and Darren Williams placed first in the 300-yard breast stroke. Another important invitational meet was the Wichita Falls meet held on Nov. 18-19. The boys placed second and the girls placed eighth all around.

Bryan Robinson, Senior, com- mented, Swimming is a very com- petitive sport which involves many hours of hard practice. We worked hard this year and our 8-0 record proved it.

Swimming is a new sport, but has proved to be one of the leading sports at MHS. As the state swim meet began in February, the sealions went in with twelve boys qualifying and eight girls. Although MHS has many tal- ented swimmers, such as Lee Walther and Paul Rose, they did not take state as hoped. Many team members are freshmen and sopho- mores, and Coach Carson is looking toward even greater success in the coming years. . 45: Y. .,, K K . .. - 5 ,. . it K ..
