1 GA 1 it :ss- igii' is , , Bursting through the banner de- signed and held by the Cheer- leaders Qincluding Chris Boylanj. cornerback Fred Wynne and safety Mark Sickles sprint down the field toward the second Ea- gle victory of the season. The Eagles, earned- an 8-2 overall record and tied the Plano East Panthers 5-2 in District 12-5A, but lost out on second place since the Panthers beat the Ea- gles in district play. Plano's Wildcats won the only other Ea- gle loss and went on to take the State championship. Qllaxterj QQQ QQ, ii s teams worked to earn victories and respect for Rl-lS sports, moments of craziness were present. While the sun shone on the JV Boys' Basketball Team, who had a 20-0 record by January, the moon rose, in mass, on the JV Volleyball Team. The last day of the season, the JV was acting weird because they were going to serve their volleyballs all at once, one varsity volleyball player said. Instead, they each just tossed the balls, turned around and bent over . . . so Varsity did the same thing, but showed them the real McCoy! From false finishes, some swimmers went to false starts. Just ask senior freestyler Sean McConnell. who broke away from flags in the 500 free, CONTINUED swimming and overcame the embarrassment of having his speedo slip to his knees. l never realized that ljumped into the water too early, McConnell said. When the flags dropped into the water, l thought it was an accident and kept on swimming. When 6'6 varsity basketball player Jason Harber could do nada on the court during the season opener against Highland Park, he earned the nickname Nada, meaning nothing in Spanish. Some of my friends joked around with me because l couldn't get nada steal or nada blocked shot. Since then, l've averaged nine points a game. and l've gotten more rebounds to help the team. - Jason Winik Intro I 13

EGL?-So Q39 img Qir ailoo tudents' lives were crazy this year . . . so crazy that anything and everything happened to them. They got into trouble, caused trouble, got out of trouble and had lots of fun . . . in and out of school. i Like it was sooo crazy this year, said sophomore Teri Cribb. As soon as l got my new car, l totaled it! Several organizations were up to crazy things, too. The Eagle Guard wrapped Coit Road the night before the Pearce game, only to find the purple and gold crepe paper GONE the next morning. So, they wrapped it again and got into a fight with a few Pearce students. Students spent time and money going to games, dances and concerts such as the Cure, David Bowie ', Pink Floyd , R.E.M., Depeche Mode and U2 '. C Sold outlj In fact, junior lay Wyse waited in line at Richardson Square Mall to get U2 tickets and got o loitering ticket instead. We thought it was unfair so we took the Richardson Police to court, said Wyse. who received a probationary sentence of 90 days. lf he didn't receive another traffic ticket during that time, he was supposed to receive half of his S50 fine back . . . but, at press time, 90 days weren't up, snow days Gan. 7-81 were past and exams . . . Memorial Day took on new meaning this year. - Angie Graves and Randy Allen and Kris Cooper lntro I 15
