Young Team Hurdles Short Season Although we had a team full of inexperienced young peo- ple, we worked hard and are looking forward to next year . — Coach Woody Hildebrant Stats Placed in Dis- cus Throw Jody Beane Stephen Gouss Placed 3rd at District meet for the 440 relay: John Barrow Jody Beane Mark Brown Cory Hill Although inexperienced young members, the track team had a good spring ,and placed in almost every track meet. With no girls’ team, it was left up to the boys to throw the discus and shotput, run the mile and the two mile, and jump the broad jump and long jump. Most track meets were held at either Greenboro or Bristol. With only six meets available it was easy for most to attend all of them, but for a few there was baseball to juggle. Having fun was part of what a sport should be about, and the track team definitely had fun. Trying out something in a meet that a member didn’t usually do was a custom. Horsing around, using fake names, and attempting to confuse Coach Hildebrant was a must. By the end of April the season was completed. Those who competed did well. Despite not having a large number of partici- pants, the skills each mas- tered were valuable and could be expanded on in the next season and in other sports. A quick start by Jamie Worrell in the Stephen Gauss’s throw of 117 feet, places him fifth in the one mile at Bristol leads to a loss to discus at the Greenboro meet. Greensboro. At the last meet with Greensboro, Patrick Boykin gives his all for a 38 foot throw in the boys' shot put. 118 Sports

Getting T’d Pays Off We placed higher in Districts than people expected us to. A lot of schools had never even heard of us.” — Maury Hod gens Wade Williams and Daniel Mitcheii prepare to tee off at Gadsden Country Clob against NFC. Interruptions throughout the season such as Wade Williams’ case of chicken pox, Brian Gregory’s emer- gency apendicitis, and Base- ball practices and games could have caused a bad season. However, despite these setbacks the team had a winning record of 13-5, with victories over such large AAA schools as Leon and Maclay. They also beat Gadsden Christian by six- teen strokes. With more than half the team being very experi- enced the younger players might have been intimidat- ed. However, Brian Gregory and Hank Alexander really excelled in their matches against more experienced juniors and seniors. Winning nine matches straight, left the team with high hopes for the District Tournament, and their op- timistic outlook placed them fourth out of sixteen teams. Overlooking their handicaps and limitations the team carried on their winning season trend. ‘2J Golf team: Wade Williams, Randy Skipper, Chris Smith, Daniel Mitchell, Hank Alexander, Maury Hod gens, ay Brooks and Coach Wilder.
