Rally Efforts Keep Girls Un The Go Dedicated and enthusiastic best describes the effort put forth by the JV footballfbasketball rally. Although the girls were forced to provide their own transportation, they managed to make it to most of the games. Cake raffles, car washes, bake sales, and flowergrams for Valentine's Day were just a few ways the rally was able to pay back the student body for their uniforms. As Cindy Schrom said, We tried every way we could to promote spirit, from making locker decorations to staying up all night making cookies. Spirit promoted by the freshmen rally was not as explosive as the girls hoped. 'iTurnouts for the games were not heavy, said Kim Morrow. The same faces seemed to turn up each and every time, said Leslie Scalise. Freshmen rally had car washes, bake sales, and after game dances. The money earned helped pay for uniforms. With only five members on the JV rally, it was pretty hard to cover each and every thing that came along. There were not enough hours in the day to cover all sports events, said Cindy Schrom. We just had to say 'No' to some things, Schrom added. , M O Front: Leslie Scaliseg Second: Heather Rapp, Kimberly Morrow, Darcie White. eslie Scalise puts color in the word, FIGHT .

Flrst Cougar Squad Suffers Injuries, Defeat Nineteen seventy nine marked the first year for MV to support a varsity football team. The boys started training in August and had their first game a few days after school started. Last year the varsity team was combined with Bend High's team. This year the teams were separate. The players on the team had no experience playing varsity because all the seniors had played junior varsity the year before. Five team members were injured during the season which affected the season's outcome. Chuck Booth and Darrel James were out the entire season with injuries to the leg and neck, respectively. Gary Boothe and James both received head and neck injuries. James was out the whole season while Boothe was able to resume playing. Ron McDonald tore the ligaments in his leg and Dave Montgomery broke his hand. During the Bend-MV game, Sean Corrigan received a head injury and was taken out of the game for over a quarter. The team's first game was September 7 in Hermiston. lt was the closest game they had all year with a score of 20-21, Hermiston taking the lead. The Cats lost to Redmond O-44, to Crook County 12- 40. Pendleton came to MV and stomped the Cougars 54-6. On October 5, Baker High creamed us 14-36, Madison High from Portland out scored us 37-18. Ontario took us 7-27. The last away game took the team to LaGrande where we were subdued once again, 13-21. The long-awaited Homecoming game, November 2, against Bend High at Punk Hunnell Stadium, was a disaster for the football players but a winner for Mountain View's spirit. The coaching staff, headed by Coach Clyde Powell, gave all they had to the team-spirit, hope and faith. A lot of time was involved with training the players. John Nehl, Paul Vallerga and Bill Usher helped Powell coach the team. Practice was held five days a week. The coaches worked day and night thinking of new plays to foil IMC opponents. In appreciation for the time and work they spent on the team, varsity football players awarded the coaches a plaque with personalized gold nameplates on the front. The plaque read, The high standards of teamwork and sportsmanship that you have taught us on and off the field will remain with us throughout the rest of our lives. Thank you. The 1979 Mountain View Varsity Football Teamf, The student body supported the team in spirit and rowdiness every day before a game. Pep assemblies and rallies were also planned to give the team an extra boost. fy Powell orders a Cat to move back. 'Fi' , .ww-N:-f. '9-'fismw sr
