OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WGODS When you've done all you can do, you have to do more. This is the way coach Joe Bradford describes cross country running. He also says, Ninety percent of the racing is mental. If you don't have a good attitude toward the sport, it doesn't matter how good a shape you're in. You won't do well. Coach Bradford also feels that all of his runners had great attitudes and that is why they did so well. Mike Archer was the teams most outstanding runner this year. He won the county in the 3.2 mile race with an excellent time of 16.34. Susan Rice also excelled on this year's cross country team. She was first in the region in the 2 mile race with a superb time of 13.01. The boys' team concluded the season at third in the region and the girls at seventh. ln the county meet, the boys were third and the girls sixth. Coach Bradford says he enjoyed his first season as a coach at Sprayberry. Top left: A GOOD ATTITUDE really does make a difference.

The 1980 Junior Varsity season was played by one of the youngest teams in Sprayberry's history. The members of the team were always fired up and were an inspiration to the other teams. They were a dedicated group who showed the true idea of sportsmanship in every sense. Varsity player Teena Pounds commented, The J.V. team was really great. They obeyed Coach Chandler totally and were really enthusiastic about softball. A memorable close game this year was the bout against North Cobb. Sprayberry's Robin Crump hammered out a homerun in the sixth inning to win the game. They ended the year with a 6-4 record. Above lell: THE .l,V.
