The feeling grew slowly as the days went by, but by the time the first game was upon us, we all knew it was there. It can be broken down quite simply as a combination of spirit, determination, and most importantly, trust. It's the kind of spirit that's in us all, but just needs to be exposed. It's the kind of spirit that makes you enjoy what you're doing. This ties in with the feeling of determination that was present. It wasn't the determination to reach a certain goal, it was the determination to play together, and in the best possible way. The most important feeling was the deepest TRUST. There was a sense of unity that would be hard to duplicate anywhere. But it went beyond thatg the trust and help off the field played an important part in building a good team. Every problem that arose with any player was soon solved because of the concern of the coaches as well as the personal interests of the other team members. All this, coupled with the endless support of the student body and community, created a bond of strength so great it seemed unsurmountable, no matter what the odds. This is the attitude that traveled to all of our games - home and away ,Q-,.,u Z .

Standing for the mighty Pirate defense, Ieff Franklin and Cedric Chance go for the tackle. Matt Carter anxiously awaits his turn to go out on the field and do his stuff. Seeing that the ball had been fumbled, Dwight Clayton, Zimbalist Nelems, and Mike Singleton an astute Pirate jumps on it. VARSITY FOOTBALL! 163
