We had a lack of preparation and a lack of coaching, but we fought hard and played as a team. Jason Atchley '45 Would you Look 4 That .. . .

I ogerbermess One More Step To- gether was the theme for the Varsity team this year. They began to achieve this theme in the stiffling heat of summer when two-a- days began. The two- a-days were physical, with conditioning type practices, said senior member Shawn Du- hon. Kevin Bailey had a different view to the workouts. I'm trying not to remember, said Bailey. The intense workouts paid off be- cause at the end of pre- season we were 3-0. We defeated Arlinton Martin in the season WHO'S GOT THE BALL? . . . C.J.

Fi- nally, we defeated the number one team in 4AAAA, Corsicana, to end the pre-season schedule. This record was totally opposite of predictions made for this team. When district opened the next Friday it seemed as if nothing could go right. Fum- bles and miss called plays forced us to our first defeat. Still in the slump from a loss that the team felt should not have happened led to another defeat to DeSoto. I don't know what has happened, we just can't seem to ex- ecute right and it al- ways seems to happen at a bad time in the i Cphoto by game, said Heath Hartman. OUT OF MY WAY...

The guys then went in for the kill with a 20-13 win over Mansfield. We were depressed after we lost to DeSoto, but I was sure that we were gonna come back and beat Irving because there was no pres- sure, and we did, said varsity player Robert Williams. The guys were then brought down when they played and lost to MacArthur 11-20 on Homecoming. I was disappointed be- cause I thought we should have won that game. Offensively we played good and as a team, and I think we should have won, said sophomore var- sity player Mark Al- lain. The guys were then determined to jump back on top, but their determination fell short of them when they lost to Duncanville 14-20. By then, the guys had had enough, and decided that the Go- phers were their last chance. They went in with pure determina- tion, and under no pressure, ready to play the Gophers. I felt like we could beat them because we went in and had fun and there was no pressure, said Gibby Cantu. The team played hard, and tak- ing one more step together overcame the Gophers with a 28-20 win. Oh no you don't . ..
