5 Left: THE EXCITEMENT OF THE GAME was a major factor in determining the routine of success taken by the Jackets.

Top: FINDING OUT HOW FAR they could go, TAKING IT T0 THE TOP Losing only to the top three teams in the county, the Varsity soccer team eyed a position in the tournament. Coach Rhyne said that their chances were pretty good if they did not slack off against their opponents in the final games. The spring break held the team in expectation. The position of the team surprised the members. Said Coach Rhyne, I feel we played pretty good ball and we didn't expect to go that far. Some of the highlights of the season include outstanding performances by high scoring Winn Pennington and Robbie Davis who played offensive and defensive in the midfield. The team had a good, consistent goalie, David Are, and let few get by but the errors never cost the team the game. The aggressiveness of the team pushed them into a position that saw the tournament and possible championship on the horizon. Although the season was not the best, Coach Rhyne said of the season, lt was up and down but we seemed to play better against the good teams.

.- A.SALUTE TD SDCCER The soccer program has been extraordinary. The Varsity team made the finals to compete against Wheeler. The J.V. team had a high win count and the Freshmen shut out all competitors for the second year in a row. Under the direction of Coach Rhyne, the Varsity Jackets went all the way to the playoffs for the first time in five years. Although Sprayberry lost by five points it did not give up without a fight. Rob Cutts scored the only Jacket goal. After vowing to spend a carefree season, the junior Jackets showed how wild and crazy they really can be. They topped many of their competitors. Called by Doc Michels as the team with the winning way , the baby Jackets were jublient as they downed Milton High 4-0 in the last game of the season. With careful mid-field playing, Stuart Michels scored one and Todd Maddox scored three. This fine display of soccer skills on the part of all three teams shows how well Sprayberry can do and the school salutes them for their fantastic year.
