The 1987-88 Girl’s Track Team enjoyed a more than average season. The girls competed against some of the best track teams in the state. To prepare for their competition, the girls began practicing in late January. The practices usually were at NHS track or at the International City Sta- dium. “Lots of hard work goes into making a good team, ’ says second year coach Vickie Carreker. The girls competed in six regular season track meets throughout the entire season. They traveled to Macon to run against vari- ous high schools in the Coca-Cola Relay. With a good performance in the 400-Meter Relay, the girls held on to an impressive third place win. One member of the team advanced to state. Kita Thrower competed in the long jump event. On the average the team had a successful year and are looking foward to next years season. Taking a few competitive laps helps Kendall Williford and So- phia McGrady get ready for a track meet. Gliding over the high jump bar comes easy to Kita Thrower

Girls Win Regiou Before the 1987 Softball season began, the Northside Eaglettes had high hopes for a clas- sic year. The first game of the season was an example of these hopes. The Eaglettes played cross town rivals, Warner Robins Demon- ettes. The game was tied until the 6th inning, when the Eaglettes scored three runs to de feat the 1986 4 AAAA State Softball Champs. The Eaglettes remained undefeated in the sub-region until they played Southwest. This game went into extra innings, but the Eag- lettes lost 6-4. During the middle of the sea- son, the team went into a slump and another sub-region was lost, this time to Baldwin County 5-4. At the end of the season, the Eaglettes had two sub-region loses, while Southwest had one. The girls played the Patriots and defeat- ed them 8 to tie for First place in the sub- region. Another game was played to decide who would be in the number one spot during re- gion play-offs and where the region game would be played. The Eaglettes lost to South- west, but that loss would be to their advan- tage in region play-offs. The Eaglettes had the “winning attitude’ during the region tournament. They went un- defeated against Hephzibah (one game) and Warner Robins (two games) to win Region and go to sub-state where they lost to Statesboro High School. 4 ‘ ss 1 : mm. 4 ot Coach Carreker with this year's | The team shows their pride as Seniors they pose for a picture with the region trophy % 2, ,
