.- 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.

5 Left: THE EXCITEMENT OF THE GAME was a major factor in determining the routine of success taken by the Jackets. The pregame anxiousness has paid off during the season in almost every game, esp ecially against Pebblebrook. Devld Are and Wlnn Pennington were two fantastic players this season. Mlddle: HAVING TO WIN THE LAST THREE games of the season while watching Wheeler and Walton, the Jackets began their fight to the top. Coach Rhyne described Jeff Jackson as belng a main defensive player next year. Below: TALENTED ADAM PETTY will be counted on next year for the control ol the mldfleld. The strength of the team this year seemed to come from the midfleld and thirty plus goals were a symbol of its strength.
