State Volleyball Champions Team, coaches pull together for schoolgs first UIL championship We were a family. It's like a mother letting go of her children and watching them get married or go off to college, Jodie Powell. lf there was a single thing that could be given credit for the sea- son, it would be experience. Jen- na Hawkins, who along with Dana Rains was named to the All-tournament team, was a three year member of the Var- sity squad, As a sophomore, she played along with the previous squad to make the playoffs. Powell also added Laster and Rains for the playoffs in 1985. However, that nucleus of ex- perience will be gone next year. Hawkins, Laster, Missie and Mindie Markham will move on to college. These four were all starters. HWe were a family. lt's like a mother letting go of her children and watching them get married or go off to college, Powell said. These kids were my babies, and now they're not anymore. Yes, but while the kids were her babies, they made history. Craig Lancaster. 1 Varsity Volleyball Team.

Haltom Tie Highlights Season The final score read 27-27 but the unbeaten record was intact Sometimes you need a little more than physical ability to get motivated, said Mark Ball. A threat of a Haltom victory was all we needed to get motivated. .xt . All-Tarrant County Quar- terback, J.D. Krug llll looks downfield for an open receiver.

Design by Brandi Owens ln an unusual season in district 7- 5a, with Haltom winning a district championship that was supposed to belong to Trinity, and the Mid-cities schools kept out of the the playoffs for the first time in a very, very long time. The Richland Rebels fell short of a long hoped for successful sea- son. After defeating Arlington Heights lthe third ranked team in the area at that timel in the first game of the season 17-0. The team then tested their wares against a tough Lamar team and suffered de- feat in the last 14 seconds of the game when their quarterback JJ Joe scored on a keeper around left end. At any rate, the first two games seemed to indicate that Richland could play with the best in the area. The third week of the season brought the match-up that local 'N 'Q ' l , . football fans look foward to more than any other Haltom. The rivalry had turned sour of late, with the Rebels winning 11 straight games. But things turned out a little differently this time. The final result was the first tie in the history of the schools competing in football, 27 - 27. Statistically, Haltom dominated every facet of the game. A third quarter bombing by the Buffs put the Rebels at a 27-17 dificit. How- ever, with less than two minutes left in the game, Richland was able to tie. The Rebs actually had a chance to win with six seconds left, but Roger Garcia'a 35 yard field goal attempt was blocked. Joel Surber l18l gives a Haltom player a helping hand.
