PLEASERS HMy only regret is that we didnt have a perfect season . H Jeff Searcy, junior So very, very close Opponents were shut out six times avemging only five first downs, 51 total yards and 32 points per game. The home team lost only one contest during the football season athhat loss to Georgetown cost the Chaps' junior varsity first place in the district. iiUnity is the key to our record. We really started coming together as a team before the district opener against Beltonf' sophomore Daron Edwards said. Proofof the team spirit and lime ty manifested itself in 8 42'0 win over the Bastrop Bears in which both the offense and defense demonstrated total domination of scoring ability. uThat was a really memorable game because Bastrop was suppos- ed to be really good. ltls a great feeling to win by such a large margin, sophomore Mike Spaulding said. With 1756 yards rushing and 672 yards passing, I thought we did really well. My only regret is that we didnt have a perfect season and finish first in the district, junior Jeff Searcy said.

Everyone deserved C it, everyone worked hard for it, and when youlre on the varsity football team, it just seems right that you should get a little bit more than the freshmen. They were freshmen too, and at one time they had to go through the same things that we didwlittle attendance at games, no pep rallies and little recognition. Eventually the cheerleaders and students will be cheering for us at pep rallies QUICK BREAK. After an offensive lay in a game fmshman Brett Arabie talges time out to rest before the next play. The freshman teams played their games on Thursdays before the Junior Varsity games. and games. The coaches, too, worked 65' pecially hard last season. They had to put the two freshman teams together in a short amount of time even though they didnt know anyone. If there is any one group of peo' ple who received less recogniv tion for their effort than they deserved, it had to be the coaches. But sometimes the freshman A team did get upset because we had won a particularly difv ficult game and at the pep ral- ly that Friday noone even knew about it. But that's just some- thing hidden in the shadow of the varsity team. The freshman teams proba- bly should have gotten more recognition, but the varsity team deserved theirs and some- day it will be the same for us. Scott Norman, freshman OVER THE SHOULDER.

Everyday, we would go out and practice in the blistering August sun. Sometimes I thought I would die. This season, running the sprints was harder than usualeespecially after a two! hour practice At our first game, you could tell that the CWO'B'daYS paid off. We still drove in the fourth quarter.

To give fish players the most experience possible, the freshmen were split into IA and u13W squads.
