Prac- tice has always been sixth period, said Blake Frye, a sixth period athlete. For the first time in North Garland's 17 year history, sports had to be practiced at different times of the day, not only 6th period, but before and after school. As a result, students were forced to rearrange their lives. I have to miss my favorite t.v. shows now since basketball practice lasts so long.

Raiders Reach District C RCW Team Takes QAAAAA Cham pionshrp For Frrsr Trrne In School Hrsrory Although the 1986 and 1987 base- ball seasons ended in different ways, the outcome and the culprit were the same. In 1986, the Raiders' season was marred by an ineligible player. The possibility for revenge existed. Though the battlefield was Loos Sta- dium and not a courtroom, the conse- quence was identicalg North Garland came out on the losing side. The '87 season began in late Janu- ary. The team donned new sweats for the winter workouts looking forward to the district opener in March against their arch-rivals, South Gar- land. South is one of our biggest rivals but we play them like we play any other team, Scott Bale, senior, said. Before they could take on the Colo- nels, however, the Raiders needed to ready themselves in the pre-district games. This team was unusually young, suffering from the loss of seven senior starters. In contrast to that team, this one contained only four starting upperclassmen. The lack of seniors didn't hurt us, said Coach Dennis Wickline. lf you have good younger players, it pushes the seniors harder. They would need all the extra push they could muster because the - 1987 VARSITY BASEBALL 15-4 NG OPP 7-5, 7-1 South Garland 6-5, 10-5 Garland 12-10, 7-2 Greenville 8-4, 5-0 Highland Park 4-3, 5-11 Mesquite 3-2, 4-2 North Mesquite 5-6, 1-0 ' Lakeview 7-G, 8-1 tBiDist.J Bryan Adams 3-2, 1-5, tAreaJ Thomas lefferson 3-5 Es pre-district season contained the likes of eventual area champions Lewisville, Plano East, and Abilene Cooper, who would later that year add a state championship to their ac- complishments. The Raiders ended their pre-district with a record of 6-9 and found themselves lacking in con- fidence. Our preseason showed us that we had a lot of work to do before district, reliever Kevin Corley, ju- nior, said. There were two factors that made the South Garland game an impor- tant one, said first baseman Eric Ri- vas. senior. First, they are one of our biggest rivals. Second, this was the first game of our district season. South Garland represented the be- ginning ofa district in which the Raid- ers would have to prove something not only to the teams that considered the recent success of the team a fluke, but to themselves.
