Tough competitors Brought about combined skills und winning attitudes Our rodeo was a great success, eve- ryone worked to- gether to make it work. We gave HOW at every ro- deo, and that's how we sent our members to the fi- nals. Steve Thom- as. ,TS l Rodeo is a sport that has been bred into the many generations of cowboys, past and present. Many people want to be cowboys, so they try by imitating their dress, and by entering local rodeos. But only with the real rodeo cowboys does the look and experience come easy. The Richland team had members that showed what real rodeo cow- boys are. With the help of Von Garret, H.L. Walsh and Mac McKelvy the members held meetings, elected of- ficers, and the queen. During the year the club held their rodeos at the Aztec Arena. Several members attended a dinner at JT McCords. A car wash was also planed to raise money for Richland's Rodeo. This year the club had two freshmen members. They were Andy Prior and Misty McKelvy. At the end of the year, each student who was in the top of each event went to the finals. Four mem- bers from the club made it to the finals. They included Steve Gleghorn, Misty McKlevy, Mariah Brooks, Brandon Key. The finals were held at the Northside Colisi- um, in Fort Worth. The officers for the 1987-88 school year were: President Steve Gleghorn, Vice-President Mike Taylor, Secretary Olen Harston, and Queen Mariah Brooks. Mariah Brooks.

JV team goes 5-5 for season Expectations fall shortg as key injuries affect outcome This group didn't win as many games as people thought they would, but there were reasons for that. Because so many top players were lost, valuable experience was gained by others. I think this will be one of the best groups ever at Richland, Pat Pruitt. 1 The Junior Varsity Football team held many expectations for the 1987 season. According to the coaching staff the season started out with high hopes and many good athletes. Against Ar- lington Heights, Richland walked away with a 7-0 win to begin the season on a good note. ln the next game, against La- mar, the Vikings scored on a pass play in the last seconds of the game, defeating the Rebs O- 6. However, many players said it was a good game against a top-notch opponent. During the middle of the sea- son, many key players were in- jured and unable to participate. During this time many other play- ers were given the opportunity to participate. Towards the end of the season, the JV Football team rebounded from their losses. Against Arling- ton, Bammer Flippo, kicked a field goal in the last three seconds of the game, ending the game in a 16-13 win. Flippo also kicked a field goal to win the last game of the season 20-19 against Martin. The game against Martin was a memorable game for the JV team. The team needed that win to end the season with an even 5-5-0 sea- son. Patti Jo Pruitt. ' sg- up i,,llEBELSZ,,g.
