Being dedicated to a group such as a cheer- leading squad is not all fun and games. Hard work is involved along with long hours of sweating, getting yelled at, and even breaking dates with your boyfriend on the weekends. Sometimes the dedication is the only thing that can keep a cheerleader going when she feels like she just wants to give up. Well, nobody gave up and everyone's spirits were still high at the end of the basketball season. Along with this hard work came friend- ships. Not just ordinary friendships, but very special ones. When the twelve cheerleaders worked together, they realized that no one is better than the other one, and they were all out there for one reason. That reason is to cheer together as a team, all for one and one for all. This is still true even after one of the squads members moved out of the state. Her name is Langela Gaston and she was more than just a major contributor to the squad — she was a friend. When Langela moved, the circle of good friends was broken, yet it can never be destroyed. This squad, like any other, just isn't the same with one of it's members missing. Of course Langela will be missed, but the friend- ships gained will never be forgotten. The squad is together in each others heart no matter how many miles separate them, there- fore, making these friendships forever! Melanie Harrison and the Eagle enjoy a great pep rally Excited over winning first place at summer camp are the Varsity Cheerleaders Happy over the soon to be vic tory over the Demons are Lan gela Gaston and Lisa Lowe

The 1987-88 boys basketball team faced some competitive challengers throughout the year. The Eagles went through the season with a rather small team. Many new rules kept players from trying out. Second Varsity Coach Ronnie Walker said, “Since we had a few problems and a small team to work with, we learned as a team how to overcome all obstacles. ’ The main concentration was just maintaining the balance of the team. A vari- ety of players played and there were really no star athletes. Winning was truly a team effort. The Eagles had routine practices each day at 5:30. The coaches enforced many drills, which built up fast reflexes. ‘“‘The ability to think quickly is an important part of playing the game, said captain Vince Black. The Eagles ended their very competitive season with a 9-18 record. Even though the boys didn’t win every game, they were able to hold their own in a very difficult region, and that was a big achievement.
