Soph om ores Enjoy Wfinning Season This year's sophomores were very hard-working and very coachable with good attitudes, said Brad Fernberg, head coach. , There were a couple of games that everyone played to their full potential, said Brent Cook, quarterback. Both the coaches and the team members were excited about the Lawton game because they had beaten them while playing against Lawton's home advantage. Midwest City was their hardest loss, according to Fernberg. The best parts of being on the team were the games we won and some of the practices, when we didn't have to run sprints, Cook added. Fernberg was responsible for coaching the defensive and offensive lines. Coach Lynn Wilke was in charge of the secondaries and receivers while Coach Mike Hooper in- structed defensive ends and the offensive line. Coach David Hinkley coached the backs and linebackers. We also had six tenth graders who qualified to play for the high school football team. These six had to qualify against players that were older than they were which took some extra work. As Dean Hodge put it, lt doesn't make any difference who you play for, you still have to give 110071 in whatever you do. Commenting on the power of the Lions, Tony Taken said, The defense started out great while our offense was improving. By the end of the season the offense was 100070 better. The guys could have given up, but instead they worked harder and improvedf' Determined to win, Thomas Ballas rushes onto the field to help his teammates win. 58 10th Football

Always A Wfinner Wrapping up the '82 season, the ninth grade football team's seasonal record was three wins and seven losses. Even though the team didn't win as many games as they had anticipated, each member still contributed their best. The three coaches who worked with the team during the summer and every day after school until the season ended were Head Coach Mark Hunt, Coach Pat Nolen and Coach Larry Cornelison. Hunt coached mainly the offense and helped the defensive secondary. Cornelison was in charge of the defensive linebackers and ends and the offensive line. Nolen trained the specialty units, the punters and kickers, and helped coach the offensive receivers and the defensive line. Among the individual records, Devin Slemp had three 100-yard rushing games which was never achieved last year. Robert Mitchell and Mitch Paddyaker each completed two interceptions while Tony Brinlee led the team in tack- les. Our losses were generally due to injuries and lack of consistency, commented Coach Hunt. Even though the team didn't always come out the winner, they were never considered losers. They always stuck together whether they won or lost, and really showed that they were truly a team made up of winners.
