La if? is ti Sports scene Lions meet the challenge As the wind began to cool and the leaves began to fall, the sports scene heated up. After last year's spring Blue and White game, the football team looked very promising this year. However, several in- juries to key players at the start of the season dashed Coach Charlie Lyles' hopes for a win- ning season. The varsity volleyball team got off to a great start, and once again the powerful spikers were contenders for district cham- pionship honors. The girls' cross-country track team acquired a new coach this year. Ms. Cathy Webb coached athletics at Viv- ian Field Junior High School be- fore joining the coaching staff here, taking the role of the for- mer coach, Mr. Larry Brooks. With the chill of fall in the air, the tennis team challenged the Highland Park Scots in a dual match on RLT's courts in Oc- tober. Led by Coach Kerry Smith, the team looked forward to a promising season. Ms. Jenifer Thomas, the new swim team coach, assumed the duties at the helm of the school's aquanauts. Coach Thomas guided the volleyball squad at Grand Prairie last year before she started coaching here. Junior Kimberly Dean commented, I like our new coach a lot. She's young, en- ergetic, and really excited about things, and that makes us get excited. She changed practices to mornings, and now we're practicing with Newman Smith. I think these changes are work- ing to our advantage. .J Senior Michaele Drake, varsity volleyball Senior Diana Arbelaez concentrates on her scrimmage match with one of her teammates after school at the back tennis courts. player, prepares to set the ball.

Presenting a Revue Performers showcase talent Approximately two hours and 23 acts long, the Lion Revue was staged by the choral de- partment Thursday, Oct. 22, in the auditorium. Some of the skits presented included the Student Senate do- ing a segment of a soap opera called Rich People in Trouble, junior Paul Gilmore and senior Rob Laney doing a comedy rou- tine called Who's on First, and the Thespians doing a rap about our school. Some of the songs that were sung were done by senior Rob Laney singing Misty, fresh- man John Solis singing Memory, a band called the Archives playing Bon Jovi's Wanted Dead or Alive, and senior Julie Scott singing reli- gious ballads. Some of the dances were the varsity cheerleaders doing a cheer, sophomore Christina Connell dancing to Showdown, the Lionettes do- ing a dance to Boing Boom Chuck, junior Jennifer Davis doing a ballet dance, the choral ensemble doing a song and dance routine to lt Don't Mean a Thing if You Ain't Got That Swing, the Flag Corps doing a routine to Louie Louie, and the junior-varsity cheerleaders doing a dance to Tricky. Other acts included senior Logan Flatt playing the bari- tone, senior Samona Wilcox playing the piano, and senior Brandon Sherbert playing the drums. The masters of ceremonies - seniors Robin Stacy, Rob Laney, Dusty Haws, and Sherry Tackett - helped the show run smoothly by entertaining the audience while the acts were setting up. Robin Stacy said, l think the Lion Revue went smoother than ever this year. The variety of acts interested the majority of the people in the audience. l'm glad the show was a bit shorter this year because the audience wasn't so tired by the end. Performing a skit, seniors Rob Laney, Dusty Haws, and Clay Palmer keep the audience en- tertained between acts at the Lion Revue Oct. 22 in the auditorium.
