Crew Wreck5,' Bfutes Basheo' After a grueling battle the Senior- Sophomore team, M8818 Wrecking Crew, edged past the Junior-Fresh- man team 8 to 6 in the Powderpuff football game. Ftevived in late Novem- ber, the annual event turned out to be more violent than in past years. The non-tackle bout produced more injuries than most varsity football games. By the end of the game, Nell Pesl had suffered a broken vvrist, Kharon Cavileer received multiple inju- ries, and most of the other players left the field shaken, bruised, and sore, Competition between classes pro- vided most of the incentive for victory and some of the girls became over- competitive. The football field looked more like a battlefield. Povvderpuff cheerleaders lvlarcita, Mark Eshel- man, Scurrita, Scurry Ellis, Codita, Cody l-loover, t'Blairita, Blair l-libbert, and Dannita, Danny Duff entertained the fans, They also kept the spirit up, to say nothing of their balloons. - Norman Atha Sonia Guerra

Played with six players, three offense and three defense, girls' basketball differed from boys' basketball. The offensive half of the team must stay at one end of the gym and defense must stay at the other. At no time can a player cross the mid-court line. The starting offense forthe J.V. team consisted of Nicki Pool, Laura French and, top scorer for the team, Cathy Louis. The starting defense included Joy l-ligh, Georgia Geyer and Cindy Bohls. Junior Varsity's season recorded two wins and ten losses, defeating only TSD's B team, 31-25, and Bas- trop, 27-25. Five of their games were lost by fewer than ten points. Emily t'Swisher Bertholf was the top scorer on the Var- sity team and was also an offensive starter along with Dana OIey Olson and Ellen Elbow Bardin. Nancy Woo Wooldridge, Lee Ann Bloomquist and Anna Har- vey played defense. Varsity held a 3-11 seasonal record this year. They defeated TSD two times with scores of 57-15 and 77-16. Also defeated by the Varsity team was the Bastrop team, 50-28. Although both teams lost most of their games, I feel that they played to their full potential, comments Coach Dorothy Doolittle. Both teams competed against TSD, Bastrop, Luling, and 23AA district teams Leander, Manor and Bosebud- Lott. The Varsity team also played against teams from l-lutto, Waelder, New Braunfels, Dripping Springs, Blanco and Llano. - Kay Reed Junior Varsity teammates rally and receive last minute instructions from the coach.
