Joy, frustration, and excitement are emo- tions that nearly every THS athlete felt dur- ing the 1979-80 season. They experienced victories and setbacks, happiness and pain. However, the score and the first-place finish don’t reflect everything an athlete is, or everything one could be. What fan ever sees the football player suffering at night over a painful injury, the tears of sorrow over a game that “we almost had,” or a lone runner on a dusty country road in the dead of sum- mer. Being an athlete means more than being the one with the highest score. It means sacrifice, determination, working together, sweat, and guts. When everything’s over, an athlete can look back with a sense of pride. That’s a good feeling.
