Granted, we don’t have an adequate football or base¬ ball field, or even a track,.we some how manage to get by. The football team was nothing spectacular, but if you take into consideration what they had to work with, ycy’ll agree that they did quite well...A new trophy was given by the team, in memory of • Eric Peterson. The trophy will be given to the year ' s end outstanding lineman...The girls field hockey team proved to be really strong this year. The girls won most of their games, and only faced a few de¬ feats...Ice Hockey again is another story. We didn’t lose many games but the games we lost were usually by a large margin. The highlight of the season was when the Green Machine beat the Auburn Dandies 4-2...The boys basketball team won and lost its share of games this year. They, too, were cramped for space, as five teams had to battle for court time...The girls however overcame this problem, and went on to win the Clark Tournament...Track is a popular sport at WRHS, whether it be cross country, winter, or spring. We have an outstanding track team, that usually takes more than it’s share of honors...Spring has sprung and so has baseball, (softball too, for that matter). The baseball team has started out well, with our just two league games ending in victories ...The girls, however, lost their open¬ ing game, but never the less they look promising...Tennis is another favorite sport around here. Both teams seem to be ready to challange anyone. This brings all our sports from September to June up to date. Maybe next year our teams will be bigger, and our facilities better.
