VARSITY CELEBRATES BREAKING TRADITION fcontinued from page 251 Against North Mesquite, the Raiders found even more trouble with the Stallion of- fense. One outstanding play though was a 77-yard halfback pass to Kenny Boren to set up a one-yard TD run in the second half. Lakeview surprised the Var- sity with quick scoring, but breaking the 13-year winless record against South Garland in the next game was special. It was great to beat South, especially in my senior year, said Darryl Dickerson. We had worked hard and wanted to win real bad. The usual tight battle with Mesquite, which was held to a single touchdown, didn't mate- rialize, Totaling 360 yards rushing, catching two intercep- lt was great to beat South, especially in my senior year. Darryl Dickerson tions and staying tough defen- sively were credits applauded by the coaching staff. Like the field at Wilmer- Hutchins after a week's rain, the Raiders were bogged down in the slippery turf conditions. The Varsity came up five points short of even a tie. In the last game of the sea- son, nearby rivals, the Garland Owls, could not keep the Raid- ers from the school's first homecoming victory. This was our biggest game of the year for us, said Senior Tootie Tolbertf' We would have been happy to win just this one game. From the '83 0-10 record, to the '84 5-4-l, the Varsity had reason to celebrate in the suc- cess of breaking tradition while being victorious. All-Garland first team of- fense were Milton, Glen Box, Steve Sellers and Jeff Hopkins. On first team defense were Johnny Jewell, Tolbert, Dickie Clark and Himmelreich, who was named defensive player of the year. Releasing the ball just in time, the Highland Park quarterback takes a hard hit by Senior Scott Crain. Garland Daily News photo 26 .M EZLEHC

With the total team graduat- ing last year, the 1985 Varsity basketball team found them- selves rebuilding this season. Coach Ray Harton and his staff had to begin fresh with Junior Varsity players totally unfamiliar with Varsity com- petition. I feel the inexperience didn't hurt as bad as I first thought, as they improved in PROGRAM REBUILT the first few games, Coach Harton said. But as the season went on, a size difference be- gan to play a big part in their loses. With newspapers calling the Raiders the smallest team in District 9-AAAAA, they went out to show that they could contend with stronger teams, However, the bigger teams won as was predicted. The average Raider was 6 feet tall and was somewhat dominated by players like Reggie Moham- mad, Wilmer-Hutchin's 7' star. Qcontinued on page 315 Y. f .fb p L,4,, UF EQ T .lefrifg 311004
