Braves beat Sycamore a n d break into top ten
by Chris Kenipczinski
The Braves ended a spectac-
ular regular season of soccer with
an impressive 13-3-2 record. Also
particularly pleasing for the team
was its selection as the ninth rank-
ed team in Cincinnati, a feat
which is unsurpassed in recent
memory.
In the last game of the regular
season, the team was solely try-
ing to maintain its ranking and
improve their overall record
-
against a feisty team from Ham-
ilton-Badin. The Braves' of-
fensive attack proved to be potent
in the fust ten minutes, with
Steve Womack scoring two spec-
tacular goals. Erich Metzger ad-
ded .the Braves third goal later in
the first half to put the team up
3-0. However, after Hamilton-
Badin mgrouped during half time,
the squad faced a much different
. type of task, a defensive struggle.
No longer able to stroll in for the
quick goal, the Braves faced an of-
fensive resurgence by Badin which
began to press into the Braves'
territory. Nevertheless, it seemed
that no offense could penetrate
the invincible Braves' defense as
lney held off the Wildcats' at-
tacks, garnering for goalie Ian
Meyer his firnth shutout.
Squaws lose last game; however, spirits still
by Alissa Raleigh
''Our end-of-season game was
disappointing because we have
worked so hard for it all, but it
was extremely exciting; we play-
ed wonderfully against Fairmont
and for the first time really gave
them a challenge," stated ,a bois-
trous Erin Hays after the Squaws
lost a lurid itch 5-0, knock-
ing them out of the district
tournament.
Coach Vera Hamm extolled
the Squaws' play as being "all
I could ask for. I was extremely
proud. Everything was superb.
We are one step closer to beating
Fairrnont, which hasn't been done
for about seven years. We'll
clinch it next year. It is difficult
playing this first-rate team early
in the season and not again until
the tournament, but we're ready,
willing and able.''
Fairmont has tradiiionally
dominated the district and will
play the survivor of the Summit-
Northmont game today.

Meyer's eigth shutout came in
the previous game against Reading
as Wamack punched in three goals
with Metzger (2) and Marc
Wishard (1) each providing theu
own offensive attack to combine
for a 6-0 thrashing.
The team's biggest victory
~f the season came against arch-
rival Sycamore. No longer in

the opening round of districts:
Due to "excellent skills, mag-
nificent offense and a no-fail de-
fense," Hamm observed, "we got
them 6-0. Our stront; Jefense
moved the ball up the field out
to the wings who in turn passed
it in to [junior] Sara Wilson,
who knocked it in exhibiting
some fancy stickwork."
Wislon reflects on her season
as being "really fun and the games
we won made all the painful prac-
tices worthwhile. Overall, we
were terriffic. It's sad to end the
season but we'll be back as seniors
to dominate."
The team's consensus is "that
while the season began roughly
the rest was all uphill," as junior
Heather Holberton put it.
Junior Emily Ruff continued,
"The early losses really helped us
t o improve our game. Next year
we're going all the way to state."
Holberton added, "Definitely
with an 8-0-1 league record we
know what we're doing. The
games we lost were not league
games, and in fact were against
of the city. The Aves jumped
out to an early 1-0 lead on the
goal of Marc Spelder. However,
undaunted, the Braves fought
back and with the help of a Sy-
camore. defender, Metzger was
able to tie the game up at one

proved to be crucial for the team,
as it held off relentless Aviator
attacks and finally slipped by a
staunch Sycamore defense to

ctional team. We have the most
spirit!"
"It's really great when fans
come out to watch us. That is
when we play our best. We app-
reciate it so much," cheered jun-
ior Molly Higgins.
Coach Hamm expressed her
sentiments for the year in recog-
nizing that "following in respect-
ed and successful footsteps like
[former coach] Carol Wehmann's
is trying, difficult and at times
frustrating. But I have had the
best traming: I was on the team
for four years under Wehmann's
rule and then had one year's ex-
perience as assistant coach with
her and now am guided by her,
but I strive to make my own
mark. It's tough to fulfill such a
position, but now I've established
myself and we can really turn it
on next year.

great emotional boot for the
team as it headed toward the
end of the regular season.
With the Braves beginning
tournament play, several team
members should be commended
for their outstanding play this
year, particularly Womack and
Metzger who are one of the
most provductive scoring threats
in the city with each scoring over
twenty goals this season. Meyer
has also been a standout as he
leads the city in shoutouts with
nine. Yet, none of Meyerys feats
would have been possible with-
out the unyielding Braves' d-
fense, anchored by Scott Seibert
who has played particularly well
in the last six or seven games
to prove why he is one of the
team's best players. Also vital
members of the defense are John
Rabenold, Mike Eaton, and Scott
Farrell, all potential CHL first
team selections.

third respectively.
For most of the bands at

'Best team ever' has no need to prove itself
by Kevin Walzer
I ~ Sdifficult to discuss the
varsity tennis team without a
certain amount of humor
they are, after all, just like the
rest of us. Except when it comes
to tennis.
That's something that we'd all
know, of course, in Past Years the
team has almost always been out-
standing, competing on the state
level in singles, doubles, and as a
team. Championships in these
various divisions, have also occur-
ed in 1980 as a team, in 1981 in
doubles. Expectations for girls'
tennis at Indian Hill have con-
sequently heen continually high.
This year's team, though, is
somehow different. Even by their
elite standards, they have been
better this year, than at virtually
any other point in IH history.
Even coach Cindy Crilley states
flatly, "They're the best team I've
ever had."
This "best team" has been
in existence for either two or
three years, depending on your
perspective. Juniors Aubrey Ab-
bott and Debbie Horton, now
two time state champions in
doubles, joined the squad in

Lynn Schneebeck and Karen Mc-
Curdy, who lost in the doubles
finals. Five girls at state is hard-
ly somehing to be ashamed of,
of course. but the '85 version of
the Squaws was still not ripe;
heavens, they lost two matches
in 1983, one a 5-0 thrashing- at
the hands of Centerville.
Although nobody knew it
then, that was the last dual match
the Squaws would lose. In 1984,
with the aid of freshmen Tracy
Barton and Molly Poffenberger,
they had a season that dreams are
made of. Not only did they
defeat Centerville, 3-2, to advance
to, and win the state tournament,
but Abbott and Horton captured
the doubles championships with
Barton winning the singles champ-
ionships. Three state titles in one
year, it boggles the mind.
But they could do it again this
year. The charge to three more
state titles is already two thirds
complete, as the Squaws have al-
ready won championships in sin-
gles and doubles (Farley and Ab-
bottIHorton, respectively). In-

In the last few years, terrorism

Everybody remembers the deva-

in our Marine barracks in Beirut,
killing 256 American Marines.
Other terrorist acts have occurred
in the Beirut turmoil, ranging
from the bombing of the U. S.
Embassy .to the kidnapping of
seven U. S. diplomats. To add to
this list, just last summer a TWA
flight was hijacked in Greece and
the hijackers murdered an Ame-

kers into their own jurisdiction.
This courageous act by the United
States was a great victory against
terrorism in the world.
It's high time a country such
as the United States of America
took action against these cold-
blooded killers. It is a great
feeling to have successfully cap-
tured terrorists who have been
from hastily scribbled notes; or
worse yet, by recalling these same
students from a hazy cloud of
indifference. The next step, actu-
al participation in class discussion,
lies with the students themselves.
It is not overstepping the
bounds of reason to say that a
student's favorite activity in a giv-
en school day is talking to other
students. Often the din created
by these self-indulgent conversa-
tionalists finds its way into the
classroom, where it is commonly
shouted down by the teacher in-
volved, for the sake of "more pro-
ductive" silence.

For years that frantically em-
phitic and distinguished looking
English woman could be seen
hastening from classroom to class-
room as a substitute, to command
a legion of sometimes unruly stu-
dents exulting the absense of their
regular teacher. A valued substi-
tute she was, due to her extensive
knov~legeand language training.
This year, however, Mrs. Ange-
la Francis has elected t o teach
three of Mrs. Wund's old classes:
AP French Language and eighth
grade French.
Although the uncertainty of
each day has been expunged for
Francis-"I really deplored getting
up at some ungodly hour to wait
for the phone to ring calling me
to work [as a substitute]"-her
work has increased in manifold
ways. "My husband doesn't un-
derstand why this is only a part-
time job. I come in early, I
leave late, and still take work
home. No specific plans were
left for my AP classes [when
Wund left], so I am construct-

Danny 'spears' Trumpy on radio show
by Kevin Walzer
For Danny Spears, an IH cus-

not a normal day.
Most of you probably were
preparing for the Homecoming
football game that night, or eat-
ing dinner, or indulging in other
6:00 Friday routines when Spears
had his moment of glory. Had
you been listening to Bob Trum-
py's call-in sports show on WLW,
you would've heard Spears hold-
ing forth-in the studio with
Trumpy .
"Yeah, I was a little nervous
at first, but not after the first
five minutes," recalled Spears
"It was no big deal.''
Spears was doing Trumpy's
call-in show as a result of a heat-
ed argument between him and the
well-known, controversial sports-
castel. The discussion which
took place a few days earlier con-
cerned baseball strategy.
"He got into a fight [over the
phone] with some guy about how
Eric Davis [of the Reds] should
play more, and bat second. The
guy on the phone said that Davis
would get more fastballs batting

kept insisting that no, Davis
would get curve balls, so he would
hit into double pIays. That was
totally wrong, so I called in and
told Trumpy that ,"said Spears.
This was not the first time
that Spears had called in to Trum-
py's show-"I've been doing it for
four or five years noww-but it
was the most momentus call he's
made. Trumpy and Spears got
into a big argument on the air,
and the battle was not resolved
when Spears finally hung up.
"Some guy called in the next
day asking Trumpy about me, and
Trumpy said I'd never argue with
him face-to-face. He said I was
too gutless to come down to the
studio ." Spears was not amused.
"I called in [to Trumpy's pro-
ducers] and said, 'This is Gutless.
When can I come down?' "
The arrangements were quick-
ly made, and Spears was schedul-
ed for Friday, October 11. He

Living so close to France,
Francis developed an affinity for
France from an early age. Her
father worked for British Airlines,
which facilitated travel among
countries. At the age of four-
teen, Francis broached France,
and frequented the country after
that. "It's difficult to explain the
fancy I have for France. Of
course I love the food and wine,
but it's something more-just the
ambience and the mood of the
country. I really like it. I began
to speak French at the age of
eleven."

she majored in the subject. After
graduation Francis packed for

"He's so arrogant, and he's
almost always wrong in some way
about what he's saying," said
Spears. "I have to correct him,
but he hates that, especially the
phrase I use-'erroneous informa-
tion-' That gets on his nerves -so
much ."
Could Spears cite an example
of Trumpy's "wrongness"? He
noted that the argument over Eric
Davis "is a good one. In baseball,
if the leadoff guy's speedy and on
base, you give the second hitter
fastballs to offset a steal. The ball
gets to the catcher faster, and he
can make the throw. That's just
common sense. Which gets t o the
catcher faster-a fastball, or
curve ball [Trumpy's assertion] ?"
When Trumpy gets into
fights, according to Spears, "he's
never willing t o admit he's wrong.
He turns down the volume of the
phone caller, so you can't hear-
that's his favorite trick. It's ter-
rible ."
Spears, though, stood up to
Trumpy. "And I'd do it again,
too ."

Cheerleading, editing
by Tom Taylor
Legend editor, marching band
member, cheerleader, Camp Kern
couselor, youngest of eight broth-
ers and sisters; these terms are all
interrelated when speaking of
Tricia Schaefer. With such an im-
pressive list, It almost seems ludi-
crous to say that Tricia actually
has trouble describing herself. Be-
lievc it or not though, one unfam-
iliar with Tricia might at first be-
lieve that she does nothing.
Pondering for several minutes
on what to say for her sketch, she
finally manages, "I swam." Tricia
spent eleven summers of her life
swimming at Kenwood Country
Club, yet this fact does not even
seem important to her. She ex-
plains that her primary reason for
swimming was, "because my mom
didn't want me to sit at home all
the time." As for her swimming
talents, Tricia describes herself as
I games because more people are
"average." She has usually placed

are held at the end of each sum-
mer.
Tricia is beginning to admit to
all the- activities she takes part in.

Band would certainly qualify as
one of the most important of

group of students that help
Mr. Strider make decisions about
the band. Only three representa-
tives from each class are chosen
for the counsel.
"Freshman year in the band

"We could look up to the se-

Being a senior leader in the

Tricia comments,, "I think this
year's Legend turned out really
well. It looks good.
"I hope that we don't procras-
tinate so much this year, so we
can have more time to goof off
and have fun."
A few weeks ago, Tricia took
on the demanding task of being a
Camp Kern counselor. The op-
portunity to be with sixth graders
was a perfect one for her, as she
wishes to become a part of ele-
mentary education in the future.
"I liked all the kids in my cabin,"
she mentions, "but one girl drove
me absolutely crazy. She was al-
ways talking in a long, drawn-out,
whining voice. It was fun though,
there were really no problems
with the kids."
As incredible as it may seem,
Tricia does have a life outside of
school. Having six older brothers
and one older sister, Tricia is
the family. "I don't like to be
called the 'baby' of the family,"
she protests.
Being the youngest certainly
does have its disadvantages.
Tricia recollects, "My brothers
used to pin me down on the floor
and put pillows on my head and
sit on them-that was a long time
ago.
"My oldest brother always
complains about how easy I have
it, but it's not true. We always
did family things when everyone
was home, but not now. My par-
ents are always gone and I'm on
my own."
As for her college plans, Tricia
favors Miami University. One of
her brothers is attending there
and she has had some exposure to
the campus whenever she has'
gone to pick him up. "I like the
campus and I think I would get
along with the people."
So long as there are unlimited
activities to indulge in, you'll get
along quite well, Tricia.

noted between European and Am-

erican students is the noise per-

it. The cacophony created by a

and individual in the way they ex-
press themselves. There isn't the
real desire to conform."

by Alissa Raleigh
For years that frantically em-
phitic and distinguished looking
English woman could be seen
hastening from classroom to class-
room as a substitute, to command
a legion of sometimes unruly stu-
dents exulting the absense of their
regular teacher. A valued substi-
tute she was, due to her extensive
knov~legeand language training.
This year, however, Mrs. Ange-
la Francis has elected t o teach
three of Mrs. Wund's old classes:
AP French Language and eighth
grade French.
Although the uncertainty of
each day has been expunged for
Francis-"I really deplored getting
up at some ungodly hour to wait
for the phone to ring calling me
to work [as a substitute]"-her
work has increased in manifold
ways. "My husband doesn't un-
derstand why this is only a part-
time job. I come in early, I
leave late, and still take work
home. No specific plans were
left for my AP classes [when
Wund left], so I am construct-
ing them, which is difficult."

by Kevin Walzer
For Danny Spears, an IH cus-
todian, Friday, October 11 was
not a normal day.
Most of you probably were
preparing for the Homecoming
football game that night, or eat-
ing dinner, or indulging in other
6:00 Friday routines when Spears
had his moment of glory. Had
you been listening to Bob Trum-
py's call-in sports show on WLW,
you would've heard Spears hold-
ing forth-in the studio with
Trumpy .
"Yeah, I was a little nervous
at first, but not after the first
five minutes," recalled Spears
"It was no big deal.''
Spears was doing Trumpy's
call-in show as a result of a heat-
ed argument between him and the
well-known, controversial sports-
castel. The discussion which
took place a few days earlier con-
cerned baseball strategy.
"He got into a fight [over the
phone] with some guy about how
Eric Davis [of the Reds] should
play more, and bat second. The
guy on the phone said that Davis
would get more fastballs batting

kept insisting that no, Davis
would get curve balls, so he would
hit into double pIays. That was
totally wrong, so I called in and
told Trumpy that ,"said Spears.
This was not the first time
that Spears had called in to Trum-
py's show-"I've been doing it for
four or five years noww-but it
was the most momentus call he's
made. Trumpy and Spears got
into a big argument on the air,
and the battle was not resolved
when Spears finally hung up.
"Some guy called in the next
day asking Trumpy about me, and
Trumpy said I'd never argue with
him face-to-face. He said I was
too gutless to come down to the
studio ." Spears was not amused.
"I called in [to Trumpy's pro-
ducers] and said, 'This is Gutless.
When can I come down?' "
The arrangements were quick-
ly made, and Spears was schedul-
ed for Friday, October 11. He
believes Trumpy "thought I'd
be scared to come down; once I
did come down, he thought I'd
screw up. But I didn't ."

Living so close to France,
Francis developed an affinity for
France from an early age. Her
father worked for British Airlines,
which facilitated travel among
countries. At the age of four-
teen, Francis broached France,
and frequented the country after
that. "It's difficult to explain the
fancy I have for France. Of
course I love the food and wine,
but it's something more-just the
ambience and the mood of the
country. I really like it. I began
to speak French at the age of
eleven."
She continued her. French

she majored in the subject. After
graduation Francis packed for
France, where she taught English
to French students. "Then I

town claiming the title of the

ter that I moved to Chilicothe,

later I got married."

"He's so arrogant, and he's
almost always wrong in some way
about what he's saying," said
Spears. "I have to correct him,
but he hates that, especially the
phrase I use-'erroneous informa-
tion-' That gets on his nerves -so
much ."
Could Spears cite an example
of Trumpy's "wrongness"? He
noted that the argument over Eric
Davis "is a good one. In baseball,
if the leadoff guy's speedy and on
base, you give the second hitter
fastballs to offset a steal. The ball
gets to the catcher faster, and he
can make the throw. That's just
common sense. Which gets t o the
catcher faster-a fastball, or
curve ball [Trumpy's assertion] ?"
When Trumpy gets into
fights, according to Spears, "he's
never willing t o admit he's wrong.
He turns down the volume of the
phone caller, so you can't hear-
that's his favorite trick. It's ter-
rible ."
Spears, though, stood up to
Trumpy. "And I'd do it again,
too ."

'Best team ever' has no need to prove itself
by Kevin Walzer
I ~ Sdifficult to discuss the
varsity tennis team without a
certain amount of humor
they are, after all, just like the
rest of us. Except when it comes
to tennis.
That's something that we'd all
know, of course, in Past Years the
team has almost always been out-
standing, competing on the state
level in singles, doubles, and as a
team. Championships in these
various divisions, have also occur-
ed in 1980 as a team, in 1981 in
doubles. Expectations for girls'
tennis at Indian Hill have con-
sequently heen continually high.
This year's team, though, is
somehow different. Even by their
elite standards, they have been
better this year, than at virtually
any other point in IH history.
Even coach Cindy Crilley states
flatly, "They're the best team I've
ever had."
This "best team" has been
in existence for either two or
three years, depending on your
perspective. Juniors Aubrey Ab-
bott and Debbie Horton, now
two time state champions in
doubles, joined the squad in
1983;that Year, as freshmen, they
got all the way to the semifinals
of state before losing. In 1983,

title was with 1984 graduates,
Lynn Schneebeck and Karen Mc-
Curdy, who lost in the doubles
finals. Five girls at state is hard-
ly somehing to be ashamed of,
of course. but the '85 version of
the Squaws was still not ripe;
heavens, they lost two matches
in 1983, one a 5-0 thrashing- at
the hands of Centerville.
Although nobody knew it
then, that was the last dual match
the Squaws would lose. In 1984,
with the aid of freshmen Tracy
Barton and Molly Poffenberger,
they had a season that dreams are
made of. Not only did they
defeat Centerville, 3-2, to advance
to, and win the state tournament,
but Abbott and Horton captured
the doubles championships with
Barton winning the singles champ-
ionships. Three state titles in one
year, it boggles the mind.
But they could do it again this
year. The charge to three more
state titles is already two thirds
complete, as the Squaws have al-
ready won championships in sin-
gles and doubles (Farley and Ab-
bottIHorton, respectively). In-

hurdle: the team tourney.

About next season, he be-

In the last few years, terrorism
has reached an all-time high.
Everybody remembers the deva-
stating truck bomb that exploded
in our Marine barracks in Beirut,
killing 256 American Marines.
Other terrorist acts have occurred
in the Beirut turmoil, ranging
from the bombing of the U. S.
Embassy .to the kidnapping of
seven U. S. diplomats. To add to
this list, just last summer a TWA
flight was hijacked in Greece and
the hijackers murdered an Ame-
rican Navy SEAL. In all of these
acts of terror, really no authori-
tative action was taken to punish
the terrorists. Neither of the na-
tions involved were quick enough
to czpture them, nor prosecute
these villains. Finally, just last
week, President Reagan, with the
help of his armed forces, success-
fully captured the four hijackers
who were involved in the seizure
of the Italian cruise ship, the
Achille Lauro.

kers into their own jurisdiction.
This courageous act by the United
States was a great victory against
terrorism in the world.
It's high time a country such
as the United States of America
took action against these cold-
blooded killers. It is a great
feeling to have successfully cap-
tured terrorists who have been
from hastily scribbled notes; or
worse yet, by recalling these same
students from a hazy cloud of
indifference. The next step, actu-
al participation in class discussion,
lies with the students themselves.
It is not overstepping the
bounds of reason to say that a
student's favorite activity in a giv-
en school day is talking to other
students. Often the din created
by these self-indulgent conversa-
tionalists finds its way into the
classroom, where it is commonly
shouted down by the teacher in-
volved, for the sake of "more pro-
ductive" silence.

Braves beat Sycamore a n d break into top ten
by Chris Kenipczinski
The Braves ended a spectac-
ular regular season of soccer with
an impressive 13-3-2 record. Also
particularly pleasing for the team
was its selection as the ninth rank-
ed team in Cincinnati, a feat
which is unsurpassed in recent
memory.
In the last game of the regular
season, the team was solely try-
ing to maintain its ranking and
improve their overall record
-
against a feisty team from Ham-
ilton-Badin. The Braves' of-
fensive attack proved to be potent
in the fust ten minutes, with
Steve Womack scoring two spec-
tacular goals. Erich Metzger ad-
ded .the Braves third goal later in
the first half to put the team up
3-0. However, after Hamilton-
Badin mgrouped during half time,
the squad faced a much different
. type of task, a defensive struggle.
No longer able to stroll in for the
quick goal, the Braves faced an of-
fensive resurgence by Badin which
began to press into the Braves'
territory. Nevertheless, it seemed
that no offense could penetrate
the invincible Braves' defense as
lney held off the Wildcats' at-
tacks, garnering for goalie Ian
Meyer his firnth shutout.

by Alissa Raleigh
''Our end-of-season game was
disappointing because we have
worked so hard for it all, but it
was extremely exciting; we play-
ed wonderfully against Fairmont
and for the first time really gave
them a challenge," stated ,a bois-
trous Erin Hays after the Squaws
lost a lurid itch 5-0, knock-
ing them out of the district
tournament.
Coach Vera Hamm extolled
the Squaws' play as being "all
I could ask for. I was extremely
proud. Everything was superb.
We are one step closer to beating
Fairrnont, which hasn't been done
for about seven years. We'll
clinch it next year. It is difficult
playing this first-rate team early
in the season and not again until
the tournament, but we're ready,
willing and able.''
Fairmont has tradiiionally
dominated the district and will

Meyer's eigth shutout came in
the previous game against Reading
as Wamack punched in three goals
with Metzger (2) and Marc
Wishard (1) each providing theu
own offensive attack to combine
for a 6-0 thrashing.
The team's biggest victory
~f the season came against arch-
rival Sycamore. No longer in
the Braves' league, the team was

them 6-0. Our stront; Jefense
moved the ball up the field out
to the wings who in turn passed
it in to [junior] Sara Wilson,
who knocked it in exhibiting
some fancy stickwork."
Wislon reflects on her season
as being "really fun and the games
we won made all the painful prac-
tices worthwhile. Overall, we
were terriffic. It's sad to end the
season but we'll be back as seniors
to dominate."
The team's consensus is "that
while the season began roughly
the rest was all uphill," as junior
Heather Holberton put it.
Junior Emily Ruff continued,
"The early losses really helped us
t o improve our game. Next year
we're going all the way to state."
Holberton added, "Definitely
with an 8-0-1 league record we
know what we're doing. The
games we lost were not league
games, and in fact were against
of the city. The Aves jumped
out to an early 1-0 lead on the
goal of Marc Spelder. However,

able to tie the game up at one

ctional team. We have the most
spirit!"
"It's really great when fans
come out to watch us. That is
when we play our best. We app-
reciate it so much," cheered jun-
ior Molly Higgins.
Coach Hamm expressed her
sentiments for the year in recog-
nizing that "following in respect-
ed and successful footsteps like
[former coach] Carol Wehmann's
is trying, difficult and at times
frustrating. But I have had the
best traming: I was on the team
for four years under Wehmann's
rule and then had one year's ex-
perience as assistant coach with
her and now am guided by her,
but I strive to make my own
mark. It's tough to fulfill such a
position, but now I've established
myself and we can really turn it
on next year.

great emotional boot for the
team as it headed toward the
end of the regular season.
With the Braves beginning
tournament play, several team
members should be commended
for their outstanding play this
year, particularly Womack and
Metzger who are one of the
most provductive scoring threats
in the city with each scoring over
twenty goals this season. Meyer
has also been a standout as he
leads the city in shoutouts with
nine. Yet, none of Meyerys feats
would have been possible with-
out the unyielding Braves' d-
fense, anchored by Scott Seibert
who has played particularly well
in the last six or seven games
to prove why he is one of the
team's best players. Also vital
members of the defense are John
Rabenold, Mike Eaton, and Scott
Farrell, all potential CHL first
team selections.

The band was awarded the

First place awards were also given
to the percussion section and the

For most of the bands at
