Hardwork and dedication were part of the end result. The hardwork during off-season and two-a- days paid off. It gave us an advantage over the teams we played because there is no program as advanced as oursf, stated Kevin Allen. The coaches this year brought these teams together. Stricter rules and harder workouts brought the players closer, It's a lot stricter than last year, WHOA BOY! . . . Going at the goal line, Da- vid Hale uses his ann to send a message to an op- posing Eagle. but it has brought us all closer, kinda like a family, said Sheldon Mulkey. The teams set their goals high this year and never looked back. I'm real excited about this bunch. They worked real hard, says Coach Love about this year's J.V. team. '4We've had a lot of in- juries on the varsity squad so a lot of the J.V. boys had to move up, but with what we had, it was a good sea- son. Coach Turner, head freshman coach, was real excited about this year's team also. There is a lot of talent out there, but they committed to many mistakes early in the season, but we finally got out of that slump. The season's record for both teams didn't really turn out as planned, but the still feel that what they did in the spring and sum- mer helped them im- prove and will continue to help them to im- prove to the point of more victories. 97 4 .IVXFROSH FOOTBALL 1 1

young team 81 experience add to the difficulty he basketball team had a difficult year. With a young team it was tough to fin- ish in the top part of the district. But the team Worked hard all year. Prac- ticing many hours helped the team improve their re- cord. The prac- tices were real hard, all of the running kept us in shape for the fourth quarter, quotes Travis Page. Going over and over the plays made them feel first nature. We went over them constantly, trying to stop all of the turnovers, but we were more worried about our defense. The teams we played were real fast and we had to keep up with them, quotes sen- ior Greg Stevens. We had a real tall team compared to the teams we had before and what the district had to offer, but the size took away some s p e e d w h i c h helped teams score on us, says senior Steve Twaddle. This years team was made up of a lot of sophomores that really did not halve the exper- ience that it took to play against teams like Grand Prairie, Duncon- ville, and Mac- Anthor. But this year was to give the experience needed. Sky high above the rest . . . Travis Page shoots from the outside to get in a crucial shot.
