Both teams had new additions to their coaching staff. The J.V. team had new coaches Chris Stauffer, and former freshmen coach Bob Mallory. “The team was made up mostly of sophomores with good ju- nior leadership,” said Mallory. All players showed great improvement over last year, and they are looking forward to next season. Bob Mallory called this year’s J.V. team “The best group I have ever worked with.” The highlight of this year’s J.V. sea- son was a 26-0 win over rival Clatskanie with the dissappointment being a 0-21 loss to Scappoose. This year’s freshmen football team also had a suc- cessful 5-2 season. This season the freshmen had two new coaches. Larry Soto and Brian Bennett. “The size and talent of the kids made my job much easier,” said first year coach Brian Bennett.

Let’s Good weather and bad, the football cheerleaders stood behind the football players cheering with a smile. It was really fun and I liked being a cheerleader , said Linda Proper. The cheerleaders attended a United States Cheerleading As- sociation camp in July at Linfield College. During the camp the cheerleaders were in many cheerleading competitions. Over all. the varsity cheerleaders took second out of eight squads, and junior varsity took third out of three squads. Each night at camp there were two dolls awarded to the squads. Peppy Pom and Cheery Cherry. The girls won Cheery Cherry for being so Cheery. Judie Ford and Linda Proper were awarded National Championship individual plaques which qualified them for Na- tionals and World competition. The highlight of camp and a very embarrassing moment for Joely McCollum was when she got locked out of their room while she was taking a shower, which left her sitting in a room with nothing more than a robe on. Cheerleading was a great way to show school spirit. I had a lot of fun , said Joely McCollum. We had a real good time, and we all worked well together as a squad. said Susan Konopski. Varsity Captain. Judie Ford said that all in all they had a lot of fun. they were all real close and had some special times. Shawn Smith decorates the guys locker room for a home game.
