Die Hard Fans . . . Our Bleacher Creatures Friday night I left the two ponchos my father had begged me to take and headed for the Hall to see some Baron football. It slowly started raining as I sat down, and it never slacked. My nylon jacket was useful for half of an hour, until the rain came down in buckets and thudded on my jacket like heavy raps on a wooden door. As the crowd started to thin, I noticed the people leaving all had Olympic size umbrellas. I jumped up and screamed, IIWait a minute, where are you people with umbrellas going? I was near my breaking point when I saw Marie James holding an umbrella. I shared her cover as we moved into the stands. Things were looking up as we scored again and I noticed there were now seven people under MarieIs um- 106 e Fans brella. The rain stopped as I trudged toward the car. I would have stayed, weather or not, for the rain wasnIt too bad. The Barons won and pneumonia diant. I guess they have to wait a little longer to carve A DIE HARD FAN! over me. Sophomore Bleacher Creatures gather for an exciting home football game. First grade miniature cheerleaders add lots of spirit in the home football stands.

Cowering away, Jet Turner is net FaSt-Break match as John Britton pulls down a Barons . I L V strong rebound, The goal of every young basket- ball player - playing on the varsity team. No other school in the state has produced such magnificent teams year after year. Despite having a shakey start this season, the Varsity Barons played like the true champions they were and remained unbeaten in Con- ference. New head coach, Mark Roach, was determined to uphold the winning tradition at the Hall and he did so admirably, using his own coaching and the raw talent of the young men. Capitalizing on their strengths, the Barons counted on the ttbig three, Tommy Wilson, John Britton, and Trey Harvin, for re- bounding and inside shooting. Three- point shots were also no stranger to Tommy Wilson, and to make this years senior arsenal complete, the Barons were known to be a fast-break team. Each challenge, whether it was a super player or a carpet gym floor at Cardinal Newman, was met with a team effort that gave the Barons their own touch of class. Other teams adopt the slogan ttWait ttil next year! but the Baron fans can take pride in the honest effort and success provided by the 1985-86 Varsity Boys Team. The Dunk gets 'em going and Brian Graham does it right in warm-ups.
