oto by Bryce Harper CINDY 'l'0 CHAT 'GE ll I guess you could say freshman football did not have o lot of luck this football season. In fact you could say they had a swift stroke of bad luck. For starters, there were many injuries, from broken hands and legs to shattered kneecaps and pulled ligaments. lt seems that there were more players in the doctors office than on the field. Well, not exact- ly-there were still plenty of good players, but the bad luckjust happened to strike the Cougars again. The season wasjust not as good as the Cougars had seen before. They tied with Lee and Holmes, the Churchill game was rained out, and unfor- tunately they lost to Roosevelt and MacArthur. ln our district, they lost to Jay and Taft. But let us not put our heads down. Let us look at the brighter side of things. They did beat Madison and best of all, they beat the rival Marshall 35-6. As Chad Deggs said, The team had a lot of talent but it just did not seem to come together. Now this is very true. All the boys were quick and smart and all around good athletes. This had a lot to do with the teachings of Coach Condra. So let us hope that they Y 44 5: T Il LI CK have better luck next year. Another group of smart and quick boys was the freshman basketball team. The basketball team's luck was definitely better than football's. The team ended with a 9-9 record. lt was not quite what the team had expected, but they were not complaining. They finish- ed with a good district record of 3-1 only losing to the Taft Raiders. Overall, a fairly good season where losses had close scores. The season was enjoyed by all the players. We had a lot of fun playing ball together, stated Wyatt Peterson. This was neat about the team. They got along very well and really had a good time. The boys are really talented and have potential for future ball playing. They really know how to hustle, com- mented coach Paul Black. Overall the freshman boys of the class of '90 are really good athletes, and the future of the Clark athletic department is in good hands.

1 F11 rw 1 W Starting your freshman year of high school might be a scary experience for some, but girls in freshman basketball and volleyball felt like they had a place. The team was combined of athletes for both Hobby Middle School and Rudder Middle School which gave the girls a chance to learn from each other. The girls also learned a lot from the older girls on the junior var- sity and varsity teams. Coming every day at 7:30, the girls could not help becoming such closely knit friends. The freshman girls volleyball and basketball teams not only made friends and learned a lot, but they had a lot of fun the whole way through. Basketball ended up with twelve wins and six loses and volleyball finished with fourteen wins and six loses. They also participated in NISD and SAISD tour- naments in which they placed high. The success of the teams was not just handed to them. They had to work very hard for it. Ask any of the girlslon the teams and they would tell you that they could have never made it through the practices and hard games without their coaches. Kirby Jackson, IIE ill coach of basketball, and Becky Koop, coach of volleyball, ore the two ladies who put it all together. The coaches taught us so much about sportsmanship and that teamwork was the key to togetherness and success, said freshman Nicole McPeak. With the training the freshmen received this year, the future looks bright for next years junior varsity and varsity teams. The freshman year is really im- portant. It is when all the building of a great athlete begins. I feel that the things I have learned and the experiences that I have had this freshman year will stick with me and help me become a better player through the rest of high school, stated Gen- ny Wood. For the girls and the freshman basketball and volleyball teams, this year was o very impor- tant one for them. A year that will help them through all the sports they play and a year which they just simply will not forget.
