24 Sports Here's looking at . . . SPDRTS Athletes find glory and defeat Every person that has ever participated in a school sport knew that to be involved in the sport was to accept having moments of glory and moments of defeat. It was just part of the game. To be an athlete, one had to realize that the two went together. Taking a close look at NCCHS,athletes revealed they accepted those aspects of sports and did not let the moments of defeat get them down. The defeats were all part of the learning. To be involved in a sport was to not only work hard, but also to have fun. Athletes learned to look at a mistake, laugh and learn from it. Here's looking at you, the athlete. Every athlete knew that it was not always just the individual, but many individuals working together to achieve a goal. Athletes also knew that besides winning and losing, another important aspect of sports was the mental and physical benefits derived from competition. The physical benefits were obvious. By running, swimming or tumbling, one became healthier and stronger. The mental benefits, however, were not quite so obvious. One learned how to get along with others, how to build confidence in one's self and how to set goals. The true athlete always set a goal that was constantly worked toward.

Personnel work behind When most people think of sports, they think of the action and the superstars, but the behind-the-scenes people were indispensable, too. Mr. Frank Kovaleski was the backbone of the athletic program. Mr. Kovaleski's job included helping coaches organize teams, scheduling over 325 sporting events, hiring workelrs for all games and developing a budget. He said he felt that the most enjoyable aspect of his job was the feeling of pride when the athletes succeeded, grew and matured. Mr. Horace Cook, athletic business manager, was in charge of ticket sales, letter jackets and letters, sports awards and sports banquets. He also was responsible for putting N up and arranging pictures in the fieldhouse. Mrs. Leeann Broyles was the secretary in the athletic office. Another important part of the sports scene were the ,athletic trainers. They started work in August by attending two football practices every day until school started. Throughout the year the trainers took care of the athletes participating in all sports. Head of the trainers, Dwight Doc Fraze, said, The kids gave up a lot of their free time to help me out. Without them, the care the athletes received wouldn't have been near as good. . .. My ff ,.
