Dragons win b ll in season finale With a new coach and a new offense, the Dragons set out to overcome 20 straight losses. Even though they lost the first few games, they continued to improve, said Doug Ethridge. The Dragons won 16-0 over Copperas Cove. Then the next week, they beat Westwood and recaptured the bell, con- verting on six Warrior turn- overs and scoring a season high 41 points. During the season, the Dragons scored 136 points, with Berry Earl, senior tailback, scoring 48 of those on eight touchdowns. Another offensive standout was senior quarterback Darin Kelley, who completed 65 passes for 899 yards. Junior split end Kent Gafford caught 29 of those passes for a, district leading 448 yards and Earl caught 24 for 351 yards. The Dragons gained 2300 yards of total offense on the season. They did everything that we asked them to do and at the end of the year we had a very good football team. Our seniors gave us great leadership. said Ethridge. Not expected to win against the Westwood War- riors, the Dragons fell behind early in the game, 14-0, but they hung in and battled back, coming out on top 41- 31 and reclaiming the bell for RRHS.

PE facilities expanded Expansion of dressing facilities was the main difference in the physical education department this year. The locker rooms were expanded, painted and repaired. New lockers were also installed. PE is required by the state, but itis mainly to keep students in good physical condition. A good student is physically fit and academically stable,', said Coach Jeanne Cleckler. The classes participated in many dif- ferent sports throughout the year in- cluding volleyball, flag football, tennis, softball, basketball, soccer and various types of dance. Cathye Fuchs, PE in- structor, hoped to add badminton and archery next year. All classes contained students from ,, w.,wLMN- W 'A W. ,.,,., , aw, W1 mixed grade levels, but according to Fuchs, We hope to have separate classes for freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors next year. Three times a year, each class par- ticipated in a physical fitness test called The American Association of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance KAAHPERDJ. By taking part in this, they were included in a national survey determining the average strength of each age group. This test measured the physical agility, running, jumping and strength of the student. There were six separate tests included. They were the standing long jump, the 50-yard dash, the shuttle run, sit-ups, the 600-yard walk-run and the flexed arm hang for girls and pull-ups for boys.
