Homecoming: An Upset Spirit and pep filled the air as the Vi- kings held their ninth annual Homecom- ing Olympics. There were thirteen teams that participated in the following events: the bat race, the pony express, the cato- logue race, and the water buffalo. The winners were the “Suicidal Seniors”: Kisten Lackey, Sherry Lafferty, Tina Shepherd, Krista Martin, Billy Kelly, Shad McConkey, Greg VanDcWater, and Joe Hawkins. Many hours were spent before and after school preparing banners. There were two division in the banner competi- tion: class and club. The seniors won a close battle over the juniors with the slo- gan, “No One Violates Viking Air- space.” The juniors came in second with “Sweet Dreams are Made of This, Val- ley Vikings 1983 State Champs.” Art club ran away with the first place club banner with, “It’s Hard to De-Feet the Vikings When You’re a Chicken.” The homecoming game was a bit of an upset. Valley took its first loss during homecoming from the Oak Hill Eagles with a 10-37 score. Even though the score ended differ- ently than the Vikings had expected, some great performances were seen. Senior Lee Swihart had 87 yards rush- ing, and junior Robbie Dunnuck had 3 punts for 92 yards. There were several other players who made good impres- sions on the fans. The game ended leav- ing Valley with a 7-1 record, placing the Vikings 2nd in the TRC behind Oak Hill. The Vikings’ homecoming was com- pleted with a dance sponsored by the stu- dent council. The World of Sound and Light provided the music, ending all the homecoming festivities a success. Homecoming 5
