Dreams fulfilled by athletes What are dreams made of and where do they come from? Well, sporting dreams are made of hard- work, dedication, and experience and they start in the hearts and minds of the junior varsity and freshman ath- letes. This year was no exception when it came to the junior varsity and freshman volleyball teams. Even though both teams started off what could have been a nightmar- ish season, they fought hard and in the end earned some well-deserved respect. Coach Ellen Warner ' s junior varsity final record was just 4-7, but a final victory against Class A Kearney capped the season with success. The girls never gave-up even in the toughest of times and we proved this in the game against Kearney, said Coach Warner. The freshman team, coached by Randy Hubbard and Barb Huls, was a discouraging 1-4 after five games. But the team regrouped and went on to win the rest of their games posting a final record of 6-4, We decided we wanted a respectable record. commented Coach Hub- bard, and that ' s what we got. J.V.

A recipe for success I f a ' edicated, hardworking, un- selfish, intelligent, described Coach Dick Anderson. Who was he describ- ing, what creature could possess such attributes? We sow ports of this phenomenal creature every time we walked the hall, went to class, or attended a sporting event because this incredible unit was the 1983 Northwest Football team. A football team is mode up of integral parts from the coaches, to the quarterback, to the linemen, to the player who never started but always gave his most. Bring these parts together, add courage, skills, and a little luck and you ' ve got the Northwest Vikings and an 8-1 record. The Vikes had a tough act to follow after last year ' s success, but this team fought hard. By defeating the Ord Chants and the Crete Cardinals the last two gomes of the season. Northwest was able to capture the division and central conference titles. Though missing a playoff berth by fractions of a point hod to be heartbreaking, the team won the hearts of all at Northwest.
