A TEAM I TRANSITIO From Bao' Days to Great Plays The Smyrna High football team has shown much improvement in the past few years. This year was no exception. Under the leadership of Duke Shackelford, physically the team is bigger and stronger than ever before. Coach Shackelford attributes this growth to an improved weight and conditioning program. This year the scores have been much closer, and Smyrna has earned the respect of many foes. The head coach of Gallatin, the states top team, made this comment after the S.H.S,-Gallatin game, Smyrna's football team has improved greatly, and they hit us harder than any other team we've Hzced this year, Coach Shackelford credits the defense and the kicking game for some of the success.

PLAYING A GAINS T THE ODD Maintains That Bulldog S pitit The football team has a good mucture of sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Although the team won only two games this year, the players have maintained an optimistic atti- tude throughout the season. The most dis- couraging time occurred during the Smyr- na-Mt. juliet game. At Mt,ju1iet both of Smyrna Highs quarterbacks were injured and sidelined for the rest of the season. Senior Mark Pickel, who lacked experience, was immediately pushed into the spotlight as quarterback for the remainder of the season. During the season, the team was plagued with other rn juries and problems. However, the football team with that bulldog spirit continued to improve and is looking for- ward to a winning 1984 season.
