KOEHRING BOMAG DIVISION CONGRATULATIONS SENIORS lr was a good football season but one gome in particular stands out because of the intervention of Mother Nature. On the night of November 5th, 1982, the South High football team began getting ready to take on one of its top con- tenders in the Western Ohio League. The football team boarded the buses for the 25 mile trip to Huber Heights, Ohio to fake on the Wayne High War- riors. The Wildcats come with the thought of beating the Warriors, know- ing that they would have to battle an awesome defense and a quick offense, but not knowing that the biggest battle of all would come between the mighty Wildcats and the Haulk. The footballers came dressed for the weather but the dress could nor hold out the bitterness of the cold. The game began and every player ttied to keep worm by o small space hearer that was kept on the side line. Many of the players wore gloves on their hands, baseball shirts under their jerseys, and long Johns under their pants, but nothing seemed to stop the cold from invading first fingers and toes, and soon the whole body. No matter how cold the weather was to become! The Wildcat fans still showed up to cheer their ream. by: Stephanie Freeman miGHTV LUILDCHT5 90

THE UJILDCRT VDLLEVBHLLER by Jayson Gee The 1982 Wildcat Girls ' Volleyball ream certainly had its ups and downs wirh its highest win streak reaching three. However, Mrs. Maness says that she is very pleased with the season because the improvement of the young players was a key parr in the 10- 9 overall record. She also felt that camp really helped the girls, and that they can learn more in that one week than a whole season of volleyball. Camp seems to bring out the best in a player, and team members can learn things faster because of the constant drilling they get. Mrs. Maness ' Yo- Yoers ' set goals at the beginning of the season which they accomplished. They wanted to develop o new offense which Coach Maness called Power Volleyball, and it seemed to bring im- provement to all the players. Dawn Oliver earned the title Most Valuable Player for her serves and sets; Cindy Dabineaux for her sets, and Stephanie and Lynn Freeman for their dangerous spikes. Captain Cindy Berry displayed her leadership abiliries and ralenrs, and the Yo-Yo team was rounded our by the Hustlers, better known as the Floor Burners, who included Dawn Howard, Mary Grimm, and Yvonne Vognone. The Wildcar Yo-Yoers hod key upser wins over cross town rivals North ond Central as well as Doyton Carroll, bur Mrs. Maness felt that the best gome was the victory over Urbono in which the team demonstrared desire, husrle, ond unity. As tournament time neared, the Wildcat Volleyballers were nor ex- pected to do well. However, their se- cond season was just like the regulor season wirh the UP storting wirh o win over fourrh seeded Greenville, and the DOWN coming on o loss to unseeded Sidney. VOLLEYBALL 89
