Spike that volleyball as hard as you can! Run on the open road faster than the rest. Score a basket and shoot from the side to win a game! Swim faster than a fish. Pin you opponent for a w in. Cheer the loudest fo r the Braves keeping the fans on their feet! For such dedication in carrying out these tasks fall and winter ath letes were honored April 9 during the semi-annual Sports Banquet held in the school cafeteria. Thè evening began with opening congratulations by academic vice principal Ed John to both athletes and coaches for their accomplish ments during the fall and winter sports. A th le tic d ire c to r Eddie M ike acted as the evening’s MC. He ex plained that this was a year of rede fining the athletic department, a time of staff changes and building support, and that while there were some painful times the program was growing stronger. After a steak dinner prepared by the hard working kitchen staff the evening’s program began. Awards, letters, plaques^ and words of appre ciation were presented to students. Head football coach “ Big Ben” Lawver (former pro with the Green Bay Packers) introduced coaches Joe Warde, M ark Woodhead and Kaine St. Paul. Ben complimented those boys who remained on the team all season and presented them with their sport letters. H ighlights of the season were shared, mistakes laughed about, and hopes for the new season shared. Rodney Clark, Kim Manion and Bob Henselman presented girls on the two volleyball teams with spe cial plaques, letters and awards for their growth during a highly spirited season. Cross country coackes Eddie Mike and Marvin Devereaux didn’t play “ Chariots of F ire ” , a song made famous because of two cross country runners in the 1928 Olym pics, but they did compliment the fire of dedication found in their fall athletes. Letters for those who re mained on the team were presented, special plaques for most improved and MVP were presented to those young runners who gave up much during those cold wet autumn morn ings. Winter Sports held some painful memories, but the hard work of ath letes shone through. Coaching boys basketball were Eddie Mike, Joe Warde, and Marvin Devereaux. Their boys received let ters, many good words, and special individual player awards for MVP, Most Improved, and Most Inspira tional. Despite the fact that’ the games had to be forfeited the boys were in fine spirits and knew that they had grown strong as a team. Wrestling was coached by Mark Woodhead and Kaine St. Paul. Be sides the letters for those who fin ished the season each player re ceived a color 5x7 picture of himself. Photographs were taken by Ddnna Napier. G irls Basketball coaches Bob Henselman, Rodney C lark, Kim Manion, and Verdell Brigss recalled highlights of their season as well as presented girls with letters, awards and special individual plaques. Mr. Roswelle Seare’s efforts to begin a swimming team paid off as his athletes set many new school re cords during their short season. Cheering on all the teams and farts during both w in te r and fa ll sports were varsity and JV cheer leaders. The girls were under the coaching direction of Ms. Debra Thorpe and assisted by Bernice DePoe. In addition to letters Ms. Thorpe presented Vicki Matt with a special birthday cake. 1 Coaches talked about why they enjoyed working with the athletes: they wanted students to experience good feelings about themselves and develop th e ir many talents and skills. Almost all the coaches said at some point during thé evening that they had seen improvement in the players and that they personally had experienced a lot of fun and excite ment. Chemawa students can be proud of their athletes and the fans who turned out to support them. Don’t forget spring sports—there are games to win. “ I t ’s not over u n til.. . it ’s over!” MEN FOR ALL SEASON: Players who remained on the varsity football team all season received letters during the sports banquet.
