Q I really had a great time being in ath- letics this past year. I think the worst part of being in the program is that it all has to end. Terri Enriquez Senior Athletics have always been good to me. I know nothing but sports. If we have a free day and get to go home, I ha ve a hard time finding something to do. That's when you get in trouble! Clark has an excellent athletic depart- ment. David Peters Junior I really like the sports program at Clark. I have had a great time playing on the basketball team and hope next year's season is as good as this one was. Natalie King Sophomore Everyday I walk out on the field and ask myself What am I doing here? , but I know the answer. There is noth- ing I would rather do. When we work, sweat, win and lose together, it brings teammates and coaches to a close- ness that is unbelievable. I guess it could be called a love for each other. I know those guys would help me any- time, and I in return will help them. Kurt Klassen Freshman Sports 61

But by the end of the season the hard training has left a dull ache and the high expectations are put on a shelf for use in the seasons to come. But each season is remembered for one reason or another. This season was remembered for rebuilding and change. With a new head coach and only six returning starters, the varsity football team had a long season ahead. But the players went in with a positive attitude and worked hard to post a final record of 7-3. The Cougars averaged about 15 points a game and gave up only nine. Robert Saenz rushed for an average of 136 yards a game, while Mitch Finnie and Lane Bishop gained the majority of the passing statistics. The Cougar defense was stronger against the rush than they were against the pass. The rush defense ranked sixth in the city. According to several team members the defense's key to success was in the fact that the squad worked as a unit and not as individuals. Seven varsity players were named to the all-district first team. They were seniors, Lane Bishop, Devlin Gantt, Scott King, Robert Saenz, and Scott Zook. The two juniors were Chris Meeks and Keith Norris. Robert Saenz breaks away from Jefferson defender. Saenz rushed for a total of 1335 yards and was named to all-district first team, The attitude going into the season was great. Mainly because Coach Robbins cared about the players, P' ' . . , 'C' and so we enjoyed playing more. It - also made us want to work harder. if .,.. t Lane Bishop 5, Senior 4. C I Nb , V 'tyFootball 63
