PERRY LECOMPTON This was to be the boys' best meet of the season, finishing 2nd as a team. FERGUSON did especially well be- cause he finished 3rd. His winning time was 11:03. SILVER LAKE Because they were running against some of the best teams in the entire state and in a steady downpour of rain, the team didn't fare very well. They finished 6th, and only POKOR- NEY, who finished 20th, and FERGU- SON, who finished 28th, received in- dividual medals. LEAGUE With Mission Valley taking 2nd and Osage City winning, the boys fin- ished a very strong 3rd at this meet. POKORNEY medaled by finishing 6th with a time of 11:44, and HURTIG medaled with a time of 12:08 and placed 14th. REGIONALS Finishing their season with a 5th place finish at Regionals, none of the runners qualified for the state meet, though FERGUSON, POKORNEY, and HURTIG almost attained the privilege of running in it. COACHES COMMENTS l think that the boys' team was suc- cessful in maintaining our strong cross country tradition. With only two seniors on the boys' team, it should be strong next year. l think the quality of the cross country team is always outstanding. The only thing keeping the program from being real- ly outstanding is the numbers out for the sport. We have too many people in the student body that could be really great runners but do not go out for the team.

jfs NEMAHA VALLEY On February 25 the Lady Eagles took on defending 4-A champion Nemaha Valley. It was a very physical game. The 46-40 defeat the Eagles absorbed was not indicative of how close the entire game was. TANYA ELLIS and TRACI SHAW juniors led the scoring with 11 points and 9 points respec- tively. MISSION VALLEY Sub-state time was always exciting and pressurized. The girls drew Mis- sion Valley for the fourth time. After an extremely fast start by both teams, the Eagles made some adjust- ments in their defense to limit Mis- sion Valley to five points in I6 min- utes and completely shut off their two leading scorers. xi, in JEFFERSON WEST On February 23 the players jour- neyed to Jefferson West for an en- counter with the Tigers, who were 12-5 at the time. The Eagles pres- sured the ball during the entire game and came away with a 20-point win. The Eagles had balanced scoring with N. MARTIN leading the way with 9 points and numerous steals.
