Sometimes I wish a sports team could get through a season without having to deal with injuries. This season we suffered through a lot of injuries. Going without two of more starters ever)' game kinda wears you down, but this team showed me a lot of charac- ter. desire and heart. Suffering through rain drenched, mud filled practices to win a 48 minutes game showed me a lot. To sweat and smell for one full week getting ready for one team, you have to want to play and this team did. I would like to thank the seniors who will be missed next year, for helping me my first year. Most of these boys gave four years or more of their lives to this game, spreading body parts all over the county, thats giving to the game. Mark Priset, Bob Kelly. Ed Stevens. Tim Atkin- son. Brian Kuhn. John Welk. John Wheeler. Jeff Winder. Jeff Mall. Scott Brion, Paul Erway, Dave Clark. Kieran Hemsworth. and Stacey Wilson will all be missed. Again. I would like to thank these men for playing football. With a fine group of underclassmen coming up, the next few years may be successful. Good Luck to the men coming back, just remember, these two words Give Yourself Coach Awards as follows: 110% award — Tim Atkinson Most Improved — Jeff Winder Best Lineman - - Mark Priset Best Back — Ed Stevens Most Dedicated — Tim Atkinson MVP — Bob Kelly 12

We Were VB Football season was much longer for the cheerleaders than for the players. Practices and fundraisers began in June and lasted through November. Brrr was the most prevalent comment made by the members of the cheerleading squad as they were plunged into the frigid water of the dunking booth. Anything to help pay for those new uniforms and cheerleading camp! Bloss Days also gave the squad an opportunity to have daily bake sales and start their bicycle raffle. Home Interior products were also sold. Try-outs were held in May with practices starting in June. Most practices were held at the Island in the relative cool of the evening. Advisor Theresa Mahosky scheduled a minimum of 3 practices a week throughout the summer. The coordination of movements and the memoriza- tion of cheers demanded a great deal of dedica- tion. The Cheerleaders who attended the Cheer- leading Camp at F.lmira College brought back many innovative ideas that were incorporated into the new routines. From the sweltering heat of an August prac- tice session, to the bone chilling night of No- vember 6th at East Juniata, it was a variety of experiences that will provide many pleasant memories for years to come.
