Improving Skills Under the sweltering August sun, RHS football players started practice, hop- ing to produce a winning season. Determination and hard work were the key in- gredients in the RHS football program. For J.V. football, 1986 was an exciting year. ‘From the first game on, they knew what was expected of them,” said Coach John Morris. The third game, against Lex- ington, was the high point of the season. During this game the team showed great pro- fessionalism and their triumph was better than ever. Enthusiastic and confident, the young Rebels achieved a record of 6-1-1.

The Varsity football team had high hopes for the new season. During the first weeks of practice the football players trudged through the hot summer days. Many first year players showed great potential to help aid the team. As the season progressed, the new players gained ex- perience that would be valuable in the future.

Learning the Ropes Whether it was playing on the court or cheering by the sidelines, the members of the J.V. Volleyball team and the J.V. Cheerleading squad gave 100 percent to their sports. The volleyball team, coached by Mr. Bobby Smith, consisted of many first year players. Only four players had participated on the volleyball team previously. Even though the team was relatively young, coach Smith seemed optimistic about the potential of the team. When asked about the teami, coach Smith stated, ‘“‘They had a lot of potential and good at- titudes which resulted in a very competitive team that could beat almost anu team ES Co-Captains Heather Thompson and Tami Polakiewicz show their 34 J.V. Cheerleading by the end of the season.”’ Like the J.V. Volleyball team, the J.V. Cheerleading squad was forced to rebuild. Under the second year coaching of Ms. Paula Painter, the girls cheered at all of the home J.V. basket- ball games and a majority of the J.V. football games. In addition to cheering, these girls spent numerous hours practicing. They also put much hard work into sell- ing programs and pins to pro- mote not only spirit, but also their funds for new uniforms. Through hard work and determination, these inex- perienced groups gained valuable skills that should prove helpful to RHS athletics in upcoming years. spirit at a girls basketball game. J.V.
