Photo by Beth Brady 1 Teamwork Cooperation is a necessity where football is concerned Football success depends upon mental attitude as well as strength or playing ability, senior tight end Tim McDaniel I The most important thing i159 that a team needs is to play together as a team, he said. They need to have a good team attitude and help one another. According to McDaniel, dedication, good attitude, perseverance, and cooperation contribute the most to a player's success. A player has to be coachable and listen to the coaches, he explained. The support that is given to the football team by the fans is very important for a successful season, McDaniel said. I-Ie added that the cheerleaders, drill team, the student body, teachers, and administration do a great job in supporting the football team. The football team was made-up of many more hard workers than were seen out on the field. Five managers - Tim Miller, Mike Calvin, Terry jordan, james Thomas, and Richard Woodworth - helped the team by preparing for practice, supplying water for the players, and aiding injured players. The coaching staff consisted of head coach Neal Estesg John Tally, offensive and defensive line coach, Gary Davis, defensive end coach, john Narkinsky, linebacker coachg jerry Copeland, secondary backs coach, and student-coach Bill Dent, punting and kicking coach. McDaniel explained that even though each coach had a certain group of players to work with, all the coaches worked together. McDaniel said that mental preparation is a major part of getting ready for a game. Studying the other team's plays and learning about the key players on the opposing team are both part of a player's mental preparation. The team gets mentally ready to play by praying or meditating before the game. This helps build motivation and team unity, McDaniel said - By Anne Jacob ti DU .XA 'Z fl '.

Final touches Fans plan celebration of Homecoming event C 7 in Fren ch Quarter .mf id' Afri- cfm-- :PQ if .Rn .f my ff kt .mocnfqrtt 1 aff' 'fag Fl' Monday of Homecoming week dawned bright and sunny, a climate that was to remain throughout the week-long cele- bration. As the big day moved closer, fans rushed to make the theme French Quarter a reality. Skeleton club-member crews struggled over floats to get the theme Give the Warriors the Charger Blues within a 5' X 5' framework. Mu Alpha Theta members decorated the cafeteria for dancing, and art teacher Ken Dickson created a Bourbon Street background for pictures. Stagecraft students put finishing touches on special effects for the stage including wicker chairs and a throne for the queen. Drama H students prepared a dance for and counted their assembly. Guys ordered corsages money while girls hurriedly shopped for just the right dress. Friday arrived, and everyone was ready to see results of their labor and to find out who was queen. - Story by Christy Hicks Layout by Cheryl Sloan 86fSports, Homecoming LOOK OUT BELOW! - Senior Steve Ludwig drops a streamer down from the ceiling while decorating for the dance.
