istrict was finally here and both teams were ready for it. The compe- tion this year was bet- ween Richland, Bell, Trinity, and Haltom. The girls came home with second place and a score of 214.15. The boys came home with first and a score of 312.75. For both the girls and boys there was no pro- blem achieving these high scores. Even though the team went through the District meet with one member ill and another out because of a back injury, they were sure that ceived third in the all-around. During a break before State, the workouts became harder and everyone strove for perfection. Everyone was ready when it came time to leave for Odessa. Every dis- mount is the best you can ask for and every Straddle L is as straight and steady as it could ever be. Many of the members place high in the rankings. Lisa Woody tied for fifth on all- around, scoring a 71.80. Kim Thrasher defended her State all- around title defeating Lisa Swanson of Bell. She scored 74.90 to Lisa's Kim Thrasher and Todd Stephens would return to compete in the Regional meet and sure enough they did. This raised the spirit of the team tremendously. Kim's walking pneaumonia seemed to be gone com- pletly. She won every event and cruised to the all-around title with 75.65 points. Todd didn't let his back injury both him, he also won the all- around cate ory with a score of 107.95. Randall Goodwin also re- 1 if 74.60. Todd Stephens once again cap- tured the all-around title scoring a 109.50. The team wasn't disappointed when they didn't get first place, because they still came home with se- cond, along with many other awards. The boys scored 325.35 and the girls scored 215.10. We were very proud of both our teams this year. Brandi Owens E W L . 3 4 Q Q Design by Brandi Owens.

Design by Scott - eam unity is always a lj major factor in the suc- cess of a team .and the seasong and this years Vafslty Socfer team displayed this quality more than ever before. Mike Freeman, a senior fullback felt that this squad had the most team efort and unity than any other team since I've been in high school. The team recorded its first victory ever over Grapevine 3 to 2. The trio of Chris Nichols, John Wall, and Eric Wartchow teamed up to defeat the .ei f SE me . 5 -15115 x . . . .. on to win 1 to 0. Due to an injury, Haider was unable to partici ate in the first half of the season, but his performances in the latter half were worth the wait. Another first time victory for the team was against Burleson 4 to 3. During regulation Haider scored 2 goals while Billy Fleeming added another. The team attained the victory in a shoot out after regulation time had expired. An important factor for the team this year was the presence of team players. Early in the year Coach Helzer designed the practices so that r 1 Msizfzii' .. s.f,- m r .zz.. f.- - M 7 .. .Q -- - ,, issue.-...-..f,:w-:sus--wr-infH . . -W mrs. :A 1,Msg.5ia,.m..m..,,.,,...-... -J f,-- rffy . -asrsmr... .ff .W.mra......,..m.s.a,2..its ...M-sam W?VSYIM?Wlsifiitifeiwiiflxf2afi5m9WiViiiiliiiitigiili 21r3f :fggt?,g'2,,g, w i ffs 1S1 al f .fgg es15 ?,g?grsi. 2? s a wav' Qrfesmsvaaawmzlssszzeiegr'szsteuesifsrislggggfiigg ,g..M,ggg,ggggf,f,,. me , 2 . ,'...-. , .I LM, E .. .... , ,.,,2g5,,,,.,,,2,W5..iY .mls zff2 s 45Q,,m . s , A Lars 2 .

In what could be considered the iggest victory of the season, the squad downed Lamar 2 to 1 in a shoot out led by John Wall. This victory brought the team closer together and helped the teamis morale. Early in the Arlington game late arrival Haider Shabbot scored the winning goal in defensive struggle. The Rebels held each player would rely on another. These type practices helped to build good team concept. Junior stopper Chris Nichols stated that Coach Helzer did a good job this year work- ing with us and in building our team unity.
