Frosh Varsity Freshman football had a slow start this year, but this did not stop Coach Hedden from being on schedule. Coach Hedden had eight players recruited at the start of the Freshman campaign. But as the season got started he had attracted a few more and the final count of members was fourteen. Coach Hedden felt the high point of the season was beating Muncie South and Muncie Central in back-to-back games. And the low spot of the year come when WC failed to win either of the back-to-back overtime games with Union City and Boston. The end result of the Freshman football season was a 3-4-2 record. wc 0 Centerville 7 WC 0 Jay County 18 wc 27 Muncie South 0 wc 26 Muncie Central 14 wc 0 South Adams 18 wc 14 Union City 20 (Overtime) wc 6 Boston 6 (2 Overtim wc 18 Northeastern 0 The Falcons had a successful football season under new head coach, Bill Bush. But there was one problem, there was not enough interested in playing football this year. So with a minimum number of players Coach Bush led his Falcons to an 8-2 season, with big wins over Brookville and South Adams. The players themselves were ready to give one-hundred percent every game. Playing heads-up ball was also a success to the Falcons7 season. In addition the Falcon team finished second in the Tri-Eastern Conference with a 5-1 record. In the final ratings the Falcons wound up with five all-conference players being Kenny McCoy, tight-end; Carlton Brumfield, tackle; Brian Kelly, center; Gary Jarrett, tailback; and Jeff Green, quarterback. The WC ball team will be very sorry to see nine of its members leave after graduation. But each of these seniors can look back on a great season.

Falcons Freaky Friday The lively week of homecoming began Wednesday with students dressing up as their favorite movie star. Thursday students dressed in gold and white representing their school colors. Keeping their spirits high on Friday the 13th students dressed very mysteriously because Friday the 13th was Black Friday. Breaking the tradition because of the rain, students instead began fun and games the afternoon of the game. Some of the new games the students participated in were the body pass, the sack race, the balloon toss, the shoe grab, the tug of war, and the traditional bonfire. Throughout this week students had been competing for the spirit stick through competition in fun and games and dress. The tradition of the parade before the game was continued. During half time the Winchester Community Show Band performed their State Championship Show. Next was the moment that had been awaited, the crowning of Lisa Norris 1978-79 Homecoming Queen. The queen's court included Vivian Williams, junior; Kim Giver, sophomore; and Rhonda Cline, freshman. The bad luck of Friday the 13th finally proved unfortunate to the Falcons as they lost 35-14 against Jay County Patriots. Nonetheless the Falcon Fans supported their team and the Homecoming festivities were still enjoyed by all present.
