Tallback Randy Wlckersham poses for a sideline picture. Gotdy Craig, the only West sophomore to make the high school football team, was also a sense of pride for our school, lt was a new experience to work with older guys, the cornerback said, It also helped me learn new things, They treated me like a high school guyf' 1' fl .I I. 4 fit , ri 1, la, t li i W , ' A i W We had a good season, more than any sophomore team has had for quite a while, says Quarterback Mike Peck. We played up to our capabilities most of the time, but in some games we had mental errors. This year Moore decided to do something different. West and Central Mid Highs combined as one team and were called the sophomore Lions. We got used to playing as a team, not as West or Central, said Todd Dea- 18 10th Football we Got lt Together ton, Z-back. The sophomore team had a record of five wins and four losses for the season. We had better athletes than our record shows, commented Coach Lynn Wilke. We also had some very fine athletes, and I am proud to be one of their coaches. The coaches for the football team are Head Coach Brad Fernberg and Coach Wilke. We had great coaches, said Ricky Wickersham. They were always there and willing to help us through the bad times. There are many different reasons why football holds such an attraction for the guys who play. I like playing football because I get to know the oth- er players and coaches, said Kevin Pierce, defensive tackle. John Doty, tight end and defensive end, says he likes making touchdowns, while Randy Wickersham, tailback, likes to play just for the fun of it. T

It is true in the case of the freshmen football team, The freshmen team compiled a 1640 seasong no West team has ever had as good a record as the 1981-82 team. After a team goes 10- 0, the players know all the work they jdid that season was worthgitf' com' finented BobbyRook, cornerback. One doesrft have a 10-0 season without a lot of hard work. l've never been associated with a group of play- kers that haveehad theattitude, and will- fingness rayseqriistriandi stayilialiiiihsiit, that not quitting attitude, as this group has, said Coach Larry Cornelison. Practices were long and hard, but sometimes we mixed in a little fun to keep it interesting, said quarterback Dean Hodge. As anyone cn see, the practices did pay off. It was all worth it, agreed several of the football play- ers. if The team and the coaches all felt that they had worked a lot better to- gether because they have such a fam- ily attitude. The coaches are not as P strict as mostilareg we canqjoke with ftiiemg but whenftiit's time toftvork they l Perfect Year expect all team members to give 100076 and and nothing less,'l com- mented Tony Taken, wide receiver. Head Coach Mark Hunt said there were many highlights to the season. Hunt, along with Coaches Cornelison and Pat Nolen feel that beating Moore Central Mid-High for the first time in West's history, winning the conference crown, remaining undefeated through- out the season, and most importantly, having the opportunity to work with such a fine group of athletes were the most enjoyable' moments of this 1981- freshman 'football season, 9TH Football-Front Row: .Jeff Paz, Mike Knight, Mike Motto, Mark Goodgion, Mike ' Lutts, Jerry Hanson, Kyle Randolph, Tony Tak- ggen, Mark Lang,vQQpie Thompsonlfkeg Landth- ' rip, Carl 5co1es,1Shawn Green.
