They were a very talented team with an overall record of 5-2. There were many outstanding players on the team this year. Senior Tony Tezak ended with an exceptional year with numerous touchdowns to his credit, jared Wright, Andrew Swager, Clint Mortenson, and Scott Wessel all contributed to the teams 33 touchdowns for a total of 255 points for the season. This season was full of unusual surprises for the team. During our game against Twin Bridges, quarterback lared Wright was hit hard early in the game and ended his season with a cast on his leg. The pressure was now on Andrew Swager, our back-up quarterback Some of the highlights for the season were the victory over our rival Twin Bridges, the victory over West Yellowstone, ending the season with a winning record, the end of the season prime rib dinner at The Hub, scar- ing the assistant coach after practices, and watching A Swager get killed. Freshman Fritz Bieler remembers the Clyde Park game the best because this happened to be the only game he played in! 23

HamEcnming Highlights S.H.S.'s homecoming festivities started on September 16 with the traditional parade through downtown Sheridan. The American Legion led the parade and was followed by the football and basketball players riding on the fire trucks with the floats close behind. The sophomores won first prize money of $25 with the slogan Burn those Bears! The seniors received second, freshmen third, and the juniors pulled an honorable mention for their efforts. After the morning events, the Panthers met the Lima Bears on the battlefield with the Pan- thers taking an easy victory. The final score was the Panthers 28, the Bears 18. Andrew Swager led the Panthers offensively with 116 yards on 21 carries, and scoring two touchdowns. Jared Wright and Tony Tezak each scored a touchdown. Way to go Panthers!!

Other homecoming royalty were Juniors: Justin Rule and Nancy Jo Edmisten; Sophomores: Shane Escott and Audra Shaw; Freshmen: Bill Kemph and Janet Ostler. The S.H.S.
