MEMBERS OF THE student body join together and raise "number one" while the school song plays at the patriotic pep rally.

addressing the faculty in a district-wide speech, Superintendent Danny

Taylor challenged "We are one, let’s pull together."

Although the high school is the one and only choice in Burkburnett, it is a prime choice.

Last Spring, we won the UIL academic district championship and

district basketball championship for the second year in a row; the softball team competed in the quarter finals, and the One Act Play advanced to area.

With the implementation of identification cards and more strict enforcement of the dress code that included outlawing flip flops, an uproar from the majority of the student body resulted. Following the rules became the only way.

Through pep rallies, academic competitions, club meetings, sporting events, and the normal day-to-day activities, we will pull together as one and will continue as the one and only.

spirit and enthusiasm, students often escaped from their academic

hardships and made room in their full schedules to participate in different

aspects of student life, which is the only way.

A patriotic week theme, "Pride in country and state begins with pride in

school," was capped off with a pep assembly in remembrance of 9/11.

Students also added their unique ideas of spirit through

planning and

participating in homecoming skits that focused on reality TV shows.

Even though not one particular way was the only way, students’ personal

style was often seen with their interpretations of the latest trends. Two of the

popular trends were the vintage style clothing making a reappearance from the ’70s and shoes styled similar to a bowling shoe.

Pep assembly promotes patriotic, school pride To commemorate September 11th, a patrioticinspired, Friday pep rally brought students together to view that pride in country and state, begins with pride in school.

"The patriotic theme for the assembly came when I found out that I would be the cheerleading sponsor," Mrs. Anita Owen said.

To achieve this theme, performing organizations participated in both morning and evening rehearsals.

"We’ve been working very hard since summer, on Monday and Thursday nights whenever we could get together, and of course during class," cheerleader Lindsay Tugman said.

Capped by the pep rally, students throughout the week engaged in nationally and state focused class discussions and assignments within the history department to prompt school spirit.

REALITY TV Students imitate show of choice Although everything culminates on Friday morning, a week of chaos and disarray remain behind.

A week of school ordinarily crawls by, but during homecoming, the days seem to slip by.

"I decided to work on the float again this year because it is fun to be with all your friends, all week long," sophomore Brian Wuthrich said.

The homecoming skit theme selected by members of StuCo was "reality television shows."

The freshman class chose to portray Dog Eat D o g , creating a " d o g pound" while the sophomores selected to

?

depict the popular show S u r v i v o r and create a campfire scene.

"Making tissue paper flowers was very tedious," freshman Bonnie Smithee said.

"Even though it wasn’t hard, we had to make so many to cover our float."

The junior class chose to perform a rendition of COPS, creating a paddy wagon, while the seniors portrayed American Idol, making a microphone and stand.

Each class spent the week constructing floats, making costumes, and spending time with fellow classmates.

Vintage fashions make reappearance in style Vintage style, complete with peasant blouses, hip huggers, and turquoise jewelry reappeared from the 70s and could be seen throughout the hallways.

The exceptional vintage styles could easily be seen through students’ tastes in pants, tops, skirts, and even shoes.

"I think the vintage look is really awesome," said senior Courtney Turner.

"Stuff like simple silver jewelry, fringe belts, and jeans with studs— I really think it’s cool."

Many pairs of jeans featured an acid-washed look, leaving them a little faded. Jeans were also faceted with incredibly unique patterns of decorative studs.

Skirts with fringed bottoms or distinctive ways of showing seams were also prominent in the hallways and classrooms.

Tops featured many different styles from the 70s also.

Lace band accents, tie tops, and different motifs appeared.

Shoes of all kinds also played a major role in fashion.

Styles in shoes ranged from sneakers with faces printed on the soles to strappy high heels adorned with flowers.

"I really like to be comfortable," junior Josh Dolan said. "I mostly wear whatever I like to wear— like jeans, sweaters, and boots."

On the other hand, for guys, styles haven’t changed dramatically from last year. For most guys their style was all about comfort.

"Fashion is about showing your personality through your selection of new styles," senior Rebecca Quillin said.

The Feme Bloodworth Journalism Spirit Award, which was established in memory of the former award-winning journalism teacher who died in a 1987 plane crash, annually honors seniors who have shown outstanding dedication, service, and loyalty in the high school publications.

These four honored journalists are newspaper editors Kate Andrews and Adam Walker and yearbook editors Rebecca Quillin and Krystal Blankenship.

"Rebecca and Krystal reminded me of Feme because they were work-a-holics and, like Feme, involved in both UIL journalism and debate," Mrs. Anne Gillespie, yearbook sponsor, said.

Starting as freshmen in Journalism I class, Krystal, Rebecca, and Adam competed all four years in the UIL journalism writing contests, winning numerous awards and lettering in UIL academics.

All three shared their writing talents for three years on the yearbook staff, with Adam also serving on the newspaper staff.

"Kate, who joined the newspaper staff her junior year, displayed tremendous work ethic to become editor," Mrs. Carol Cox, newspaper sponsor, said.

Traditionally, Mrs. Cox and Mrs. Gillespie limit their selection to one senior from each publication. An exception was made to include two more seniors.

"This time, we decided to make an exception to the rule and honor four of our outstanding journalism students," Mrs Gillespie said.

Breaking their three-year losing streak, the seniors placed third in the homecoming float competition by portraying "American Idol."

"We worked really hard for three days on the float," reporter Eric Castillo said. "The guys spent a lot of time practicing the dance; we deserved first place."

The homecoming king and queen were Charlie Seymour and Lyndsey Nix. As the year progressed, the seniors scrambled to complete college applications, meetscholarship deadlines, and improve their SAT and ACT scores.

On top of that, seniors had to order graduation announcements, caps and gowns, and senior pictures while still participating in extracurricular activities.

"There are so many things to take care of when you’re a senior," said vice president Traci Jinks, "and fitting in work and meetings is stressful."

Despite all the responsibilities of being a senior, the senior class came together for their final year.

"We united as a class to make our final homecoming a success and we made some great memories too," president Jay Whaley said.

Walk into the gym after school, and you’ll probably find Amy Taylor working on her volleyball serves or shooting three-pointers.

Even when she’s taking a break during a game, Amy’s cheering and yelling for her teammates from the sidelines.

"Playing sports keeps me in shape," Taylor said, "but more importantly, the friendships I’ve formed with my teammates will last forever."

When she’s not on the court, Amy spends her time watching movies. This passion has influenced her decision to major in broadcast communications.

"A Walk to Remember is my favorite movie because it’s the perfect love story," Taylor said.

Her schedule also incorporates TAFE, Student Council, PALs, NHS, and her youth group at First Baptist.

"A big part of my life is my church youth group," Taylor said.

"I have grown up with most of them and they are always there for me."

Growing up will be a big step, but Am y’s ready to embrace the challenge.

Individuality reins supreme in the world of Tabitha Neises. All of her unique characteristics are reflected through her clothing choices, schoolwork, and the goals she has set for herself.

When it comes to clothing, Tabitha, who also designs her own clothes, can turn an everyday piece into a unique outfit in a flash.

"The clothes a person wears reflect their attitude and personality.

Style and confidence are all in how you perceive them," Neises said.

Tabitha participated in theater for three years. She helped design stage sets and put make-up on the cast for each production.

"Theater has taught me responsibility," Neises said. "Which will help me in any career field I choose."

Along with theater, Tabitha is also involved in UIL Academics, DECA, and NHS. She also works at United and hangs out at The Mack Stack.

"I go there to listen to live indierock music and be around people that like what I like," Neises said.

Tabitha Neises has big plans for herself in the big city after she graduates.

"I want to study cosmotolgy and open my own salon in New York," Neises said. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Shera Taylor CAUGHT IN THE act, Tabitha Neises represents NHS in front of the adopt an angel tree. During the day, Tabitha finished statistics homework and after school loaded a customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Thanksgiving groceries.

CHAD MARTINEZ Growing up in a close-knit family has taught Chad Martinez to work and respect others, and he is doing exactly that.

In order to work everyday, Chad is conveniently on the work program through the school.

"I like working at First Bank because it has helped me prepare for living on my own," Martinez said, "and to see what the real world is like."

Being on the work program can sometimes make it difficult for him to attend school functions.

"I get out of school early every day, but sometimes I miss out on school activities for work," Martinez said.

Along with a demanding job, Chad also makes time for PALs, Key Club, BPA, NHS, and his church family.

"My dad is the pastor at mj church and going there means ever more time with my family," Martinez said.

Taking time to flex those muscles is also a top priority for Chad, foui nights out of the week.

"I work out at Askew ’s Gym,1 Chad said, "because keeping my bod; in shape is important to me."

So whether Chad Martinez ii mentoring a child, counting sorm cash, or pumping the iron, he will bi using family values.

"Being an upperclassman and representing my class is an honor," reporter Heather Horn said. "I now have more responsibilities as an officer such as organizing the float and skit."

The juniors captured fist place in the homecoming float and skit contest with their recreation of the reality TV show COPS. "Organizing the float and skit was chaotic," president Nicole Horn said. "We had groups working on different things at different times. In the end we all came together and our hard work paid off. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Arica Felty

SOPHOMORES SURVIVE The homecoming float won second place with the sophomores choosing the "Survivor" theme from the reality TV show.

"We chose "Survivor" because we had a lot of good ideas for the float and skit," said Kathleen Dalke. "It turned out exactly like we wanted it to."

The officers have done activities for the school, such as making the float for homecoming, decorating Victory Hall, and helping with the pep rallies.

"Being class officer has a lot of responsibilities and one of the major ones was the homecoming float," Crystal Wong said. "It gave the whole sophomore class an opportunity to work together and be creative."

Debate coach named teacher o f th e year With a heart of pure gold, which leads her to help everyone who crosses her path, Mrs. Jerrie Sowards, mother of two, and devoted wife, balances family, school and outside activites.

Graduating from Hirschi High School in ’69 she went on to graduate from MSU with a Bachelor of Science in Education in ’73, and in ’75 she graduated with a Master of Science in Education.

Before coming to the high school to teach English, debate and public speaking, Sowards taught yearbook for 19 years at the junior high.

"Learning is not quiet;" Sowards said, "it is not boring; it should ignite or fuel the students to want more."

Sowards says the most stressful part of her job is having too many things to do and not nearly enough time.

Mr. Del Hardaway Principal

Mrs. Janie Avey Vice principal

"Teaching is not an 8 to 5 job," she said.

"It is a demanding mistress requiring | many hours outside the school day sometimes only to have others criticize you."

But, her many extra hours were noticed. During her third year of teaching at BHS, Sowards was named teacher of the year by the faculty.

"I experienced a myriad of emotions," she said, "surprise, thankfulness, gratitude, and most of all, a profound sense of pride."

Knowing since junior high that she wanted to be a teacher, Sowards has devoted her life to this dream.

"Learning is a never ending story that became the story of my life," she said. "If my life were a book, Chapters 25-52 would contain my life’s work— teaching."

AT THE LIBRARY dedication, Mr. Danny T aylor presents Mr. Aaron with a bronze Bulldog statue.

Library dedicated After naming the library after local business and civic leader Jack Aaron, the school district honored him at a ceremony in November.

Mr. Aaron made a $35,000 donation to the library which, when added to a gift from the Priddy Foundation, will make the library a state-ofthe-art computerized facility, according to superintendent Danny Taylor.

"The biggest gain was a new catalog system, Follett Applications," librian Carl Osman said. "It has a lot more features than before. It allows a search for books in the library as well as the web for information that is purely academic.

Plus, all the schools are connected now."

"This is something we couldn’t have purchased without Mr. Aaron’s donation," he added.

Sponsor Mr. Mark Schroeder and captain Mike Williams lead the squad in their antics.

"The best part of being part of this is seeing the change in spirit," Mr. Schroeder said.

Lady Pups and their sponsor Mrs. Sheryl Carpenter focused on recognizing other groups around campus whether sports or academic.

The Air Force Junior Reserve Officer’s Training Corps- AFJROTC- included a broad range of topics.

The curriculum incorporated such aspects as aerospace sciences, military history, first-aid, and leadership.

"The goal of the AFJROTC is to create more informed United States citizens," said retired Master Sergeant William Fox. "Leadership is a main quality this program stresses. Running a cadetlead program helps us to achieve this goal."

AFJROTC provided many opportunities for the students to be involved.

Cadets could choose

activities ranging from rocketry club and orienteering to competitive color guard and drill teams.

Students joined the AFJROTC to be involved in their school, to honor family members and to prepare for possible future careers in the military.

Students also joined for various military scholarship opportunities.

"Before my great­ grandfather passed away, I promised him I would serve my country in some branch of the military," junior Amanda Lozano said.

"Being in AFJROTC helps me prepare for my future in the Air Force."

ONE THING OR ANOTHER KEY CLUB, CRIME CTOPPERC

Clubs contribute time, effort to help school, community The objective of International Club, Key Club, and Crimestoppers is to serve the community as well as to serve the student body.

International Club helped promote the understanding of others by exposing members to different cultures around the world.

Each month, students were invited to leam about a different country and were allowed to take a field trip pertaining to that country.

"International Club inspired me to leam about both my Dutch and Mexican heritages," said

sophomore Natalie Kraak.

Key Club took part in many projects to help out around the community to make it a better place.

"Trick-or-Treating for UNICEF was fun," said sophomore Crystal Wong.

"Collecting money to help out kids was a lot better than just getting candy."

Crimestoppers worked with school administrators to help cut down on and solve campus crime. The club provided a phone number so that anyone with information about a crime could call and leave anonymous tips. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Nicole Turner

ONE THING OR ANOTHER JOURNALISM

Journalists inform school of news, fond memories Journalism classes utilize publications to ensure that students may be informed of day-to-day schedules, extracurricular activities, and after school sporting events.

The yearbook staff includes all people and activities in one book so memories can be shared in the future.

"I enjoy working on the yearbook because I know that even though I am only working on it for one year, in 20 years people will still be going to it for memories," editor Krystal Blankenship said.

In newspaper, the staff’s job was to collect information on current events with the school and students. Each month a new issue would arrive for a total of nine issues.

"We strive to inform the student body of all that goes on around them," editor Kate Andrews said.

In November, members from both publications participated in the national JEA Convention in Dallas.

New journalists who excelled were inducted into Quill and Scroll, an international honor society.

Building Trades recreates 1920 schoolhouse landmark The smell of grease and sawdust and the sound of metal clashing against metal meant that the VICA members were working on projects.

Auto Mechanics with Mr. David Ress gives students insight into the mechanical makings of an automobile. Students also do book work in a classroom setting.

"Teachers or students who have trouble with their cars can bring them to us to assess the problem," senior Dustin Smith said.

Auto Body, taught by Mr. Terry Loughry, teaches

students about the body structure, or outside, of the vehicle.

Building Trades, taught

by Mr. Tim Mullins, teaches students various building skills. The major project was to remodel a house into a replica of a 1920 schoolhouse on the Hardin Campus.

The project funded by a grant took two years to complete.

"The students enjoyed the demolition work and knowing that their project would be a Burkbumett landmark for years," Mullins said. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Matthew Turner

FOCUSING ON HIS assignment, junior Pablo Ortiz sands down the paint on a truck. The VICA Auto Body class projects included making repairs and

restoring cars. Those skills would be helpful later in their life.

Babes perform at games, compete in Austin, Dallas

SERVING AS CAPTAIN for the Babes is senior Courtney Wingo.

Wingo has been on the squad for three years and has been in dance since the age of three.

The Boomtown Babes started the year with 18 new members.

"Our total is now 48 girls," director Laurie Hollingsworth said. "Our new girls have stepped up to the challenge and are doing great."

The Babes danced during halftimes at football games. They performed a prop routine to "Hooray for Hollywood," a prop/high kick routine to "Yelbw Rose of Texas," a fatherdaughter dance to "Dream on Texas Ladies," a pom routine to "Pretty Fly," and a high kick routine to

"Magnificent Seven."

"My favorite field routine was high kick," sophomore Beth Callaway said. "It was fun because the field was muddy during our dance."

The drill team traveled to Austin and Dallas for state and national competitions. Their routines included a high kick to "Boot Scootinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Boogie," a pom routine to a hard rock mix, and a military routine to an American mix.

"I like our competition routines because they are a tot of fun and easy to do," junior Tandy Swadley said.

ONE THING OR ANOTHER CHOIR

Three choirs offer experiences in musical concert performances Students have the opportunity to choose which choir to be involved.

The different types of choirs are A Capella Choir, Girl’s Choir, and Mixed Choir.

In Mixed Choir, students learn the basics of music and this gives them experience in singing.

Girl’s Choir begins their class by warming up their voices. Then they do sight reading and rehearse songs. They performed at Christmas and Spring Concerts.

The A Capella Choir is for students who decide to challenge themselves. They

do so by performing at Christmas Magic, various banquets, Christmas and Spring concerts, and graduation.

"Performing in concert helps to expand our performance capability," senior Danie Flaherty said.

There are some competitions that the students can participate in such as TMEA, Solo and Ensemble, and Concert and Sight Reading.

"I think it’s a valuable experience that teaches us responsibility and hard work that is used in life," sophomore Katelyn Lawson said.

At the UIL Regional Marching Contest, the band earned their first superior

rating since 1995.

"Even though I had sprained my ankle and played on the sideline, the show was exhilirating," senior Cristie Merritt said.

The band introduced a winter play-a-thon in preparation for their trip to Nashville, Tennesee.

"Experiencing Nashville my senior year will be especially fun and relaxing," senior David Cox said.

Lady Dogs claim pre-season wins, have tough district run The Lady Bulldogs began their season with a bang by placing third in the Hotter’N Hell Tournament.

"For the three years I’ve been on varsity, we've never placed before," senior Diana Walck said. "So placing third this year was a great accomplishment."

Following their third place victory, the ladies claimed a first place victory in the Vernon Tournament by defeating the Lady Lions in two sets in the championship game.

"There were a b t of tough teams there, but we pulled together and played some of the best games w e’ve ever played," junior Meredith Robertson said.

Filling in for head coach Linda Richards in her absence, Coach Keri Cely took over the program.

"When I first found out I would be the head coach, I was a little apprehensive but I was already comfortable with all the girls so it got easier," Cely said.

With an overall record of 16-16, and a disappointing 3-7 finish in district play, the Lady Bulldogs remained content with their season.

"We had a b t of tough district games that we played our hearts out in," senior Anna Dilbeck said.

Coaching them since they were freshmen, Cely knows she will miss the seniors who have been with her for so long.

"I feel like the girls really played better and worked harder than what the outcome of the season showed," Coach Cely said.

New coach improves play, makes season memorable Working diligently and always improving, the junior varsity and freshman volleyball teams finished up district play with the same record of 4-6.

The JV team ended their season with an overall 12-15 record and a determination to step up next year.

"I was real proud of the girls this year," said Coach Robert Daiker. "We learned a lot about playing quality volleyball. I am looking forward to seeing them progress and do well at the next level."

Overcoming a difficult district run was the next step in getting ready for the seasons to come.

"District was tough, but I felt like we improved more this year than we ever have before," junior Heather Horn said.

Welcoming a new coach, the freshmen girls only had good things to say about Coach J’Bill Merrick.

"Coach Merrick made the season a fun experience," freshman Shae Whitlock said.

"Playing for him really made a difference in our team."

The girls finished with a record of 15-8 but failed to finish first in district play.

Coach Merrick, who previously coached girls basketball at Rider High School, can’t say enough about his first year here.

"I can’t imagine my first year as a volleyball coach anywhere but at Burk," Merrick said.

"These freshman were so awesome to work with. I love each one of them and thank them for making it fun."

Loss of starters forces varsity team to rebuild This just wasn’t the year for the varsity football team.

After losing the majority of their starters last year, the Dogs faced a difficult year of rebuilding.

Due to a vast number of injuries the JV team was promoted to varsity. This change gained the varsity team younger, less experienced players.

"We worked every week all week," junior Casey McCleskey said, "for some reason on Fridays the team just didn’t come together as well as we practiced."

The team participated in a two-week training camp of two-a-days. They also practiced every day after school to prepare for that weeks game.

"This year was a learning experience," senior

Charlie Seymour said.

"Even though the games did not turn out the way we planned, the preparation and dedication of my team mates was overwhelming."

According to junior Alex Kocurek, the team undoubtedly had the physical ability to have a winning season.

"We tried really hard to make the season turn out better," junior Alex Kocurek said. "The team was not focused enough on Friday’s games to make winning a possibility."

Although the season’s record was 0-10 in district, four members received all­ district honors.

These members were Jordan McLain, Charlie Seymour, Ben Janeke, and Jacob Amey.

Freshmen go undefeated in district fo o tb a ll play Work, discipline, and unity are traits of a successful team.

The freshmen football team had all three.

They finished their season with a record of eight wins and only one loss.

Working to improve their play, the boys practiced every day after school for at least three hours.

"It was a lot of hard work, but it was definitely worth it at the end of the season," freshman Justin Wallace said.

Hoping to improve their junior high record from last year, the freshman boys concentrated on beating their major opponent: Wichita Falls High School.

"Beating Old High during district play was the

best feeling in the world since they beat us 48 to zero last year," freshman Matt Midgett said.

For Nathan Bayless, the hardest part of the season "was having to stand on the sidelines injured and watching the team play."

On the other hand, Chuck Fleming felt that "running sprints at the end of practice was the hardest part of the season."

The junior varsity forfeited their season after just two games when varsity injuries forced Coach Bill Dalke to promote JV players to the varsity team.

The junior varsity team claimed a victory over the Bridgeport Bulls 28-14 and then lost to Iowa Park 2835. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Shera Taylor

Fall tennis team players bring experience to tournaments With improvements made to the court, the tennis team competed with experienced members.

"The main thing we needed was experience, and we have a lot of it," Coach Carey Caldwell said.

"This year we have a true team.

There are no divisions orcliques; everyone enjoys tennis and being around each other."

Girls’ captain Megan Ishoy also feels that team members are unified.

"I enjoy being captain because I was voted out of five other girls and the team looks up to me as a good leader," Ishoy said.

The team had a fall record of 9-5 and won first place in the Hirschi Tournament, and placed third in District as well as in the Rider Tournament.

"Playing against the Wichita Falls schools is always tough and Vernon is always major competition for us,” sophomore Rebecca Johnson said.

In the fall, the players compete as a team.

"In the spring we play as individuals which gives the players a chance to advance in the rankings," Coach Caldwell said.

For boys’ captain junior Tyler Robertson, being at the top of his game is a challenge.

"I’ve gained experience from my losses which helps me work even harder for next year’s season," Robertson said.

The varsity team used their experience and hard work to aid them in both team and individual play.

Dogs start o ff strong, win district championship Making history, winning district championships, never-ending diligence.

Sound familar? The varsity basketball team did all three by finishing the season with 26 wins, the fourth highest total in BHS history.

"We had a successfull season," junior Casey Copeland said. "We played a really tough schedule and beat some good teams."

Much of the team’s success is contributed to the eight senior players and Hirschi transfer, Willie Fannon.

"I had to overcome a lot of adversity at the start of the year," junior Willie Fannon said. "We’re only the third team to ever to go undefeated in district play."

The team’s tough pre­ season play aided in their undefeated district record.

"Throughout the regular season, we played a bunch of tough games, and had a few losses to some good teams, but it’s helped us prevail in district play," senior Wes Frazier said.

In tournament play, the team placed third at the Lubbock Caprock and fourth at the Union Square Classic.

"In the Amarillo tournament, some players got hurt, but going into Caprock, everyone was healthy and ready to play," junior Brad Pruett said.

The boys advanced to area, yet results were not available at press time.

"We’re very proud of our guys because of all the hard work they’ve put in this season," Coach Danny Nix said.

Freshmen end on top; JV finish season second Freshman boys began their high school career with a 10-5 pre-season record and ended district with only one loss.

"Preseason was a good experience; it got us ready for district," freshman Reese Waggoner said.

The boys spent hours preparing for district competition.

"Since district games were more important, we had to work harder in practice," Kurt Lobaough said. "We put in more effort for district play."

The team’s work earned them a district title.

"We had a great team this year," Coach Michael Baughman said. "They’ve worked to improve throughout the season; they will have a great high school career."

The JV carried an almost unblemished season record with 22 wins and only four losses.

"We did a lot better than everyone expected since we came out and played our best every night," sophomore Jacob Amey said.

The boys attribute their success to grueling practices with the varsity.

"Playing against the varsity at practice improved our fundamentals," junior Jimmy McNulty said.

Despite losing players at the beginning of the season, the boys united to end district in second place.

"The boys perservered with hard work and dedication to make the coaching very enjoyable," Coach Mosley said.

Lady Bulldogs give their all, clench co-district title Capping off a winning season, the Lady Bulldogs went through district play with one goal in mind: the district championship.

The ladies finished in a tie for the district title with a record of 9-1 and an overall record of 24-7.

"We have a very competitive district and we had to play our best in every game. I’m really proud of our final district record and the fact that all of our hard work paid off," senior Amy Taylor said.

In addition to the district wins, the team placed in all three of its season tournaments.

"Winning the Vernon Tournament was a great senior accomplishment," Kelsie WJiitley said.

"The team played a lot of tiring games to win first place."

Having a large team this season allowed them to work harder in practice and keep fresh players on the floor during games.

"We were so dedicated that we practiced every day after school and even on Saturdays," sophomore Shauna Runyon said.

"It definitely paid off during district."

Although the Lady Dogs suffered a first-round playoff loss, the goals they had already reached were enough to make the season a success.

"I thought we had a great season," Coach Alex Koulovatos said. "The girls did an excellent job and won the district title. Our seniors showed great leadership; I’m very proud of them."

Freshmen end district strong; JV stay united despite losses The junior varsity Lady Bulldogs ended their season with an overall record of 6-17 and a district record of 3-7.

Despite their record, team unity remained strong as the girls prepared for next year.

"We had a good team this year and all of us got along," junior Kathy Teeter said. "We lost more games than I thought we would, but I’m still proud of the way we played."

The girls’ work and determination did not go unnoticed by their coaches and fans as well.

"I really appreciated the girls’ dedication and effort during the season," JV coach Denise Miracle said.

"They really improved throughout the season and surprised some people."

The freshman team concluded the season with a 16-6 record and a strong finish of 7-3 in the district race.

With only six losses overall, the Lady Dogs played each game with every intention of winning.

"We tried our best in every game we played and ended up having a great pre­ season and it carried over into district play," freshman Katiya Jackson said.

The girls had to adjust to a new, more advanced level of play.

"This was a fun year," coach J’ Bill Merrick said.

"The girls had a good time getting their first taste of high school ball and I know all of them will be able to carry on the winning tradition next year."

G irls’ soccer teams im p ro v e w ith tim e With four years’ experience under their belts, this season was the best yet for the girls’ soccer team. They started the season off with a pre­ district record of 4-6-1.

"We are learning to work together," sophomore Toni DiMarzio said.

"The team is more dedicated to reaching its goals."

Last season, junior Carson McGowan, forward, made all-district first team.

Senior Blair Maxwell, defender, and junior Carolyn Neises, goalkeeper, both made the all-district second team.

Leslie Early, midfielder, and junior Mallory Metcalf, midfielder, both earned honorable mentions.

"My goal for this season was for the team to make it to the second round of play offs and for

me to make the all-district team again," junior Carolyn Neises said.

Both teams faced many challenges but, with practice and determination, skillfully overcame them.

"We worked as hard as we could at practices," sophomore Victoria Wetzel said. "We practiced on non­ game days for two-and-a half hours."

At practice, the teams worked on improving their ball-handling, defensive, offensive and passing techniques.

"The first two years weren’t so great," senior Melissa Morrow said. "But w e’ve progressed a tot in the past two years, and it can only get better from here."

Soccer team rebuilds with younger players After overcoming a rough last year, both soccer teams looked forward to using this as a year to rebuild the team.

"Our team was real young last year, but we persevered and grew as a team," Coach Martin Metcalf said. "We worked real hard in the off season."

The returning seniors Jake Rhudy, Landon Miller, Cole Camacho, Brad Martin, and Tim Krombel helped to guide and mentor the younger players on the team with their experience from their past years.

Many of the players on the varsity team are younger classmen, and are not as experienced as the older players on the team.

"This year we have a variety of different players," Metcalf said. "We still have

The younger players on the varsity team will come back next year with some hard earned experience.

"We have a strong goalie, Cameron Castro, who is a rock and foundation for the team," Metcalf said.

The junior varsity team, while inexperienced, went to every game ready to play.

"This team is inexperienced," JV coach Robert Daiker said, "but they played with a lot of heart, and I feel like this team would never give up, even if they were losing." â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Matthew Turner

Softball begins season w ith young, fast team The crack of the bat, hard practices, getting dirty, pouring sweat all make softball enjoyed by players.

"I love softball," senior Tiffany Tyler said.

"I’ve enjoyed the sport’s atmosphere for as long as I can remember.

It’s really the greatest sport."

Last season, the softball team met with a disappointing loss at the Regional Semifinals against Fort Worth.

"It was upsetting, but it only made us stronger," coach Allen Hennan said.

At the end of last year, the team b s t four seniors, including the all-state catcher Brandy Honeycutt.

"This team is probably the fastest and most athletic team w e’ve ever had, but bsing the leadership we had was

hard," Coach Hennan said.

"That’s why I was happily surprised by the leadership we have this year being so new."

Three new seniors stepped up to take the place of the old ones.

"Being a senior on the team comes with a lot of responsibilities, but it is also fun," Tyler said. "I have to step up and be a leader now."

Coach Hennan and the softball team all have high hopes for the team and plan to go to district for their short term goal and make state as their bng term goal.

"We need to spend more time on the field so the young girls can gain experience to mature," Coach Hennan said.

Baseball players rank as Bi-district champs With four returning senior lettermen, the baseball team was expected to dominate this season with skillful fielding and impressive hitting.

"We have two returning senior starters who I expect big things from," Coach Leach said. "All in all we will just have to see how things will work out."

The varsity baseball team competed in fall ball, an autumn mini-season.

The varsity team was ranked 25th overall in the state and held the title of BiDistrict champions.

"We may have lost a lot of players and have a young team, but I think that we will really surprise a lot of people," senior Tony Bland said.

After overcoming the hardship of losing a great

deal of seniors, the team realized that it must play as a single unit now more than ever.

"We have a young team, but there are a lot of good players," sophomore Joseph Casteen said. "I think we will greatly improve on last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall rank."

The 2002 All-District selections included Derek Sykes and Nick Williams.

The All-District first team members were J.R. Naef, Brett Jackson, John Lee Stoiloff and Michael Patty.

All-District second team members were Cody Caporale and Brian Wuthrich.

Success streak continues for powerlifting team The Powerlifting team is a group of athletes who devote several hours each week to develop physical strength and mental success.

The team participated in two competitions early in the year, at Hirschi and at Childress.

The team achieved second place out of fifteen teams at Hirschi and third place of eighteen teams at Childress.

The boys planned to participate in the Iowa Park meet, the meet hosted here, and the Regbnal meet at Texas Christian University.

"Having the discipline and dedication to do powerlifting really helps you mentally prepare for other things like schoolwork and future careers," junior Zac Albin said.

The team’s success stretches much further than just this year, though.

The lifters’ outstanding record spans the last four years with the team receiving first, second, or third place in the last fifteen competitions.

Powerlifting meets also include both 4-A and 5-A schools giving the team even more opponents from larger schools to compete against.

The team’s 31 members also lift to be more mentally confident and physically stronger to benefit them in next year’s football season.

"Powerlifting really helps in football," Coach Brad Owen said.

"Knowing you’re as strong as your opponent is helpful."

Expectations set high fo r both track teams In track, there are activities that boys and girls can participate in such as meter runs, long distance, pole vault, and meter relays.

Sophomore Kathleen Dalke chose the pole vault and was the only girl to participate in this event.

"It was cool, but I didn’t have anyone to work out with in practice," Kathleen Dalke said.

The track members can practice during or after school.

Last year, the district meet was held in Mineral Wells and the girls’ team placed fourth.

"I was disappointed in our overall performance in district when we got fourth, but was pleased with individual efforts," Coach Linda Richards said.

DOWN IN THE starting position, so ph om ores Brooke Shelton and Kim Coleman prepare for district by practicing. After

placing second in the 200 met! run at the 2002 meet, Colertij advanced to the Regional Mee where she placed 11th.

The boys’ track also placed fourth. Coach Cline Johnson hopes the boys’ track team will show an improvement for this season.

"We have the talent to win," Coach Cline Johnson said.

Last year, Michael Andrade went to regionals and competed in the 100 and 200 Meter. He placed fourth and sixth, respectively.

New sport sees success, runners make Regionals With several sports from which to choose, cross country and bowling provide two alternative actions.

The boys’ cross country team had an eventful season, qualifying for regional competition after placing third in district.

"We had a good team dynamic and some healthy competition within the team," Coach Cline Johnson said.

The girls’ cross country team had a rebuilding year with young faces and new runners.

"Our girls had an outstanding season and w e’re working to get better for the future," Coach Allen Hennan said.

Although it is not yet a UIL sport, Coach Steadman sees UIL approval within the next couple of years.

"The seeds have been planted, and bowling's presence will continue to grow," Steadman said.

Along with the coach’s enthusiasm, the team has expressed a liking for the sport.

"I bve bowling, and I wanted to be a part of the first BHS bowling team," sophomore Gordon Rooney said.

ONLY FOR SUCCESS

w

hether in math, science, English, or an elective course, the classrooms

filled with students learning only for success.

Teachers strived for increased interaction and success by venturing outside

the realm of traditional methods. These included making time capsules,

scrapbooks, exploring cultures, creative writing, and drawing at the park.

The district sought success on the

ACT and SAT by introducing a new

test preparation program, TestU, in the English and math labs.

Even a guest speaker addressed the freshman class with Making High

School Count, a program teaching freshmen how to ensure success in school.

Whatever classes chosen, the student body demonstrated through effort

and enthusiasm that learning was only for success. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rebecca Quillin 172 Academic Divider

Boundless Creativity TEACHERC INTRODUCE NEW APPROACHES W r i t i n g has always been a unique way to express thoughts and ideas. Mrs. Lorene Teed and Mrs. Connie Martin have introduced creative writing to their students through new techniques.

In what may seem to be an uncommon approach to writing, Mrs. Teed walked her English class to the park for some playtime.

"Before analysis of literature, students must begin with analysis of themselves," Mrs. Teed said.

She used Friendship Park to help draw out childhood memories from her students.

"Going to the park got us inspired to write," Brittany Hunt said.

-Courtney Clarkin

The students wrote about their experiences, striving for literary perfection.

Likewise, Mrs. Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creative writing class learned to express themselves through words.

"I like to see what students can pull out of their heads and put on paper," Mrs. Martin said.

The class created a time capsule, containing essays, written lifelines, and items that showed life today.

They hope to reunite in 10 years to unearth their buried treasure.

As junior Jenna Organiscak wrote, "A busy chameleon dug for guards heaped in jugs." â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Daniel Ramirez

"It was really fun because once I started writing, memories started coming back." -Erin Shaver "I liked it because Mrs. Teed incorporated fun into our writing."

"The assignment brought back memories that I would have never remembered.

It was a unique assignment and we got to go to the park."

The art students were interested and eager to learn about different art areas as well.

"I am excited about working in more advanced art," said Art III student Derrick Roberts.

Mrs. Clack, who teaches Art I, tried to help her students to understand fundamental art principles.

Testing Technology INTERNET PROGRAM HELPS TEST STUDIES n recent years, college preparation has become a priority in the classroom.

Several test programs and aids have become available to prepare for college entrance tests.

A new program for the student body, Test U, aimed at helping students with important tests.

Test U is an internet study program that included areas to improve SAT and ACT skills.

"Students will benefit from this new program because it is up-to-date," Mrs. Diana Bohuslav said.

The junior and senior classes enrolled in the Test U program in the computer labs and accessed it during their English and math classes. ,

The program, free to students, could also be accessed outside of school on computers with internet connections.

"The Test U program helped me study for the SAT and ACT tests," senior Josh Booher said.

The future of the program is not foreseen, but Mrs. Bohuslav believes it has several positive benefits.

"It’s effectiveness has already been proven and can help future students," Mrs. Bohuslav said.

Aside from Test U, students could take the PSAT test and use resources available in the counseling center for practice and preparation.

the building of the new city skate park, the band earning a superid

rating at regional marching competition, and both the girls’ and boys’ basketbal teams earning a distrtict championship, we remained the one and only.

Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, and Kim Jong II continued tc threaten our national security, but with the new Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge, the nation remained on alert in the war on terror.

The nation also paused to mourn the news of the February 1 tragedy when seven astronauts were lost over Texas.

The space shuttle Columbia

exploded only 16 minutes from landing at Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Through the national and international tragedies, the winning and losing ol competitions, the saying goodbye to senior friends and retiring teachers, we pulled together as one and continued as the one and only.
