Athletes exert superiority Whether it was sinking a basket, scoring a touchdown or hitting a homerun, VHS athletes scored plenty of points, S ports was a very demanding ac- tivity which required full atten- tion -- both mental and physical. Athletes had to learn the fundamen- tals involved in playing a sport such as basic movements, rules and regulations. Then they had to master these skills so they were able to make crucial, split second decisions. Hours of tedious and strenuous practice were necessary to produce an agile, confident player. After the physical training was completed, successful com- petitors also had to achieve a cer- tain frame of mind which demanded mental stamina. Athletes at Victoria High worked extremely hard to show the effort and sincerity of the mighty Stings. With the numerous amount of awards and titles won at VHS, it was not difficult to see theiclevotion and drive of the athletes. However, it was not just the sportsmen who won awards who were first rate, but it was every single person who put out some extra effort andrproduced some perspiration who revealed VHS athletes were superior. rj-,A qbuclz gf Clegg- CIT

Football - You Bet! ighty Stingarees became the RED RAGE in 1982 under their new head coach, Alan Weddell. The Stings ended the year with a worthy 6-3-1 season and a third place finish in District 25-5A standings. The Stings lost their season opener against Austin Reagan with a 21-0 defeat. Even though it wasn't a winning debut for Coach Weddell, the team showed a lot of promise. That promise came out the next weekend when the RED RAGE overcame a 13 point deficit to beat the Alice Coyotes, 14-13. The following game was probably not as tense for the Stings as they ran away with a 33-O win over San Antoino Edison. The game was excellent both offensively and defensively.
