Entering the 1985 season with a very inexperienced team proved to be the difference, as the Cubs fell a game short of a .500 season. After losing the first two games to eventual play-off contenders, McCool and Giltner, the Cubs got back on the winning track, as they edged Rising City 20-14, and blanked Marquette 30-0. The Fairmont game was by far the most interesting game of the year, as the Tigers won 19-14, on a questionable call in the final seconds of play. The Cubs won the statistic battle, but Bradshaw managed to win the score board battle, as the Bulldogs edged the Cubs 16-14. With three games remaining, the Cubs managed to pick-up wins from Benedict, and Hampton, but fell short to Exeter, also a play-off contender. Post season honors included: Bill Ziegelbein - Honorable Mention All-State, lst team All-Conference Center and Linebacker, Ist team All-Area Linebacker, and was voted “Most Valuable Player” by his teammates.

| = ¢ ¥ . —| —— ! a ‘ Sylvia Veit lets one fly for ya Amy showing her ‘stuff’ with help from Coach. The 1985-86 Polk girls’ basketball season saw the team battle to a 5-13 record. They had a young, and small team consisting of one senior, one junior, three sophomores, and two freshmen. Coach Boardman said he enjoyed working with these seven girls because they never gave up. Teamwork was the key to the victories the Cubs achieved, while much improvement was gained throughout the season. The team would like to thank Amy Hanquist for her leadership this year.
