Fall and Winter Athletes Honored at Sports Banquet
By Mike Johnson
Make a touch down! 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!”
