However, the combination of Juniors Steve Smith and Jeff Smith, dubbed the Smith Brothers although they are unrelated, helped cre- ate a successful 1984 boys' track team.

The experience we gained should motivate us to excel again next yearf' Stephen Smith said. Steve Sellers, a junior, also qualified for regionals in the shot put and the discus. He was always very close to Jeff Smith, if not ahead of him in their competitions. Outstanding freshmen were Lance Hyder, Vince Mead, Mike Freeman, Craig Cooper, Scott Jesmer and Jon Sto- kinger. All of the boys placed in the city meet. We have a promising teamf' observed Freeman. With team success contri- buted by individual perfor- mances and the arrival of new faces during the i84 season, the boys' track team increased in- terest for many.

It was a great feeling to de- feat my former school,', Coach Wickline said. I was proud of my boys and anything after the Skyline series was frosting on the cake. The Raiders advanced tothe area playoffs against Lake Highlands, but they were knocked from the playoffs in three games. I feel we should have won against Lake High- lands but things fell apart on us, said Senior Steve Young. Momentum from the spring to the summer was evidenced in an 18-game winning streak which was stopped by North Mesquite in the first round of the Texas Teenage Baseball Association playoffs. Winning five must-win games, including two against North Mesquite, the Raiders traveled to Midland for the playoff finals. ln this double elimination tournament, a first game loss to Midland forced the Raiders into the losers bracket. But the Raiders won the game against Waco, but lost the next game to Justin, sending them home for the summer. Throughout the 1984 season, the Raiders dreamed of going me Q 5 E.
