Dome games excite Ram fans This year the varsity Rams 1984 football season began and ended in the Astrodome. Many area high schools never receive the chance to get to play there, but it has become an annual event for the Rams. This was the third year in a row that Waltrip has gone on to district play, which really shows how much dedication and hard work were put into it by our loyal coaching staff and determined players. Waltrip earned their play-off spot by going undefeated in all of District 19-5A. This, in turn, made the Rams 19-5A District Champs for three years in a row. At the dome we challenged the Sterling Raiders, who were classified as the second place team in their district. Our spirits then rose and our hopes became highg however, we fell short in points despite a good game played by the MIGHTY RAMS! Though we were defeated and lost the chance to con- tinue in the play-offs, we are proud of our varsity football team's 1984 season. 28 f Student Life
