Big Hair & Leg W armers Capture W in for Seniors

The seniors took the top spot at this year's Homecoming pep rally with their rendition of the 1980's. The skit included an aerobics performance featuring Richard Simmons, aka Kaleb Simpson, a group of robots dancing to "Tomo Arigato, Mr. Roboto", and an appearance by the mysterious, dancing pillow people. (Too bad nobody knew who those masked people were!). The skit also had special performances by Whitney Houston (Savannah Roberson), Madonna (Missy Albin), MC Hammer (Desmond Strickland), and Flava Flav (Keith Stevenson).

The seniors finished their salute to the era with a group dance to Thriller.

The number depicted the Bulldogs defeating the TCA zombies to control the golden football.

This year's win marks a first for the class of 2008. Their hard work on their float and dedication to entertaining the crowd paid off. As the seniors gathered at center court for the playing of the class song, they all took in the memories to last them a lifetime.

During the juniors' homecoming skit, there was anything and everything retro with movie stars like John Travolta and great bands like the Bee Gee's and KISS. The junior class took the student body with their cell phones and other new age devices back in time to the 70's to remember what it was like in the days of disco and bell bottoms.

The different icons from the era

battled against each other in a danceoff, which, in the end, was resolved by "peace and love".

"Even though all our work was over in four minutes, it was more than worth it. We will bring better than the best next year," said Justin Robertson.

The junior class brought a performance to this year's homecoming like no other.

Freshmen, Flappers & Feathers Strut into Third The freshman class selected the Roarin' 20's as the theme for their first attempt at high school homecoming. The students worked diligently to put together their old fashioned car float. While working on creating the float, they also had to pull their creativity together to make a unique skit. The skit depicted the

Bulldog football players and flapper girls versus their TCA counterparts. The Bulldog Freshmen prevailed over the TCA characters when mobster Austin Parkey popped out of the float and eliminated the TCA competition. Through hard work and creativity, the freshmen captured third place.

Standing in front of a Texas football crowd with scuffed dress shoes and heels sinking into the moist field is not an easy task. The student body has voted and the time has finally come to find out who the 2007-2008 Homecoming King and Queen are.

Last year’s queen, Jaclyn Whitmore, and Bulldog mascot, Leah Hurst, waited for the announcement, then presented the crown.

After introducing all princes and princesses,

the announcer declared Sara Schutte and Leland Wetzel as the year’s King and Queen.

“It was such an honor to be nominated, and I was so excited to have won!” said Homecoming Queen Sara Schutte.

It is an honor to be selected by your class as a prince or princess, but for seniors, it’s even more of a compliment when the entire student body votes you their Homecoming King or Queen.

dirty. At least, that is, on the first weekend in October.

Mud volleyball, a tradition that has existed longer than the Friendship Festival which hosts it, has been a memorable student activity for years.

“Me being short and getting sunk in the mud didn’t help my situation any,” laughs junior Keenan Stubblefield.

That Saturday morning

found students shelling out $35.00 a team to engage in friendly competition with their peers and a shot at the coveted championship prize: Sonic giftcards.

The winning team this year was called BTF, which stood for “Boomtown’s Finest”.

Mud volleyball this year was sponsored by United Way, which used the entry fees to benefit programs and public works projects.

teens make a difference Teen Volunteers Gather at Boys' & Girls' Club Each year, students gather to take part in a volunteer service program in our community. School organizations sign up and form teams where they are assigned a task. Over onehundred students gave their Saturday to fulfill jobs that needed to be completed.

"Even though I didn't get to sleep in on Saturday, in the end, it was all worth it," said freshman Andrea Dowling.

Jobs included picking up trash, collecting cans, and playing bingo at the local nursing home. This activity was new for Teens Make a Difference.

"I was able to help the ladies play Bingo and collect

their prizes for them when they won," said senior Chelsey Griffin.

After everything was said and done, students and sponsors met at the Boys' and Girls' Club for pizza and music.

Door prizes were sponsored from local businesses and passed out to the student volunteers.

"I was so excited I won because I never win anything," said junior Kasi Bailey.

Through Teens Make a Difference Day, local teens are given the opportunity to help improve their community and show the dedication and hard work of other kids their age.

a good time Students Embark on Global Adventures May 25th, 20 0 7 - for many students, this is the day of graduation; for others, this is the day before summer vacation officially begins! Taking a break from the demanding hours of education, almost all of BHS students ventured outside of Burkburnett city limits at least once. Many students and staff went somewhere, whether it was France - or just Friendship Park.

Undoubtedly, summer is a stress free time filled with laughter, late

nights, and endless amounts of fun! An example of a typical summer vacation revolved around Band Camp, Cheer Camp, or going with friends to see summer blockbuster hits such as Transformers. Some even took long trips with our family members to visit far away places and relatives. Wherever your vacations took you this summer, one thing remains certain - you had a good time!

work, work, work Students W ork Hard to Earn M oney and Experience When you go to the mall, or you go somewhere to eat, you are sure to find a working student. In today's society, as the prices rise more and more, students are heading to join the workforce to earn more money.

The high school offers a program that will help students earn more work experience, while teaching them about how to be more successful in the real world. The program is offered through classes with Ms. Lee, Mrs. Gritton, Mrs. Kleckner, Mr. Waitman and Mrs. Reed. The program allows juniors and seniors to go and work

during school-hours to get the experience that they will need in the future.

The program also teaches practical tasks like balancing a checkbook and budgeting.

The program teaches students responsibility and good work habits such as punctuality, time management, and accountability.

Through the work program, many students develop a better work ethic and the ability to apply this ethic to their school work. This program has helped many students in the past and will continue to help many students in the future.

a changed band Bulldog Brigade Smaller, Still M ighty A few things were different in the Bulldog Brigade this year.

First, the band welcomed two new directors, Mr. Dallas Bayless and Mr. Charlie Bradberry.

Second, for the first time in years, the Brigade received a rating of two at UIL Region Marching Contest with their show entitled “Riverdance.” The weather conditions were less than ideal.

“The wind was really bad, but we did our best,” said sophomore Ashley Henrion.

Beyond marching band, students took time to audition for the ATSSB honor bands. Twenty ONE LAST TIME, band seniors gather in the rotunda.

students made All-District. Nine students earned spots in the Region bands and two students, junior Katy Bodenhorn and senior Brenner Schmitt advanced to Area, the final step before AllState. Two students, seniors Brenner Schmitt and Layne McBeath also qualified for the AllRegion Jazz Band.

Throughout the rest of the year, the band would perform in the Centennial Celebration and compete in both UIL Concert and Sightreading Contest and UIL Solo and Ensemble.

Cheerleaders Get New Coach and Drive

iham pep rally. 5 ta ff Photo

To some, cheerleading is just another club or activity that promotes school spirit, but cheerleading is actually one of the best examples of teamwork and commitment. Whether it's planning a pep rally or building a stunt, every member of the team is essential.

Planning pep rallies was one of the main responsibilities of the squad, and, with a new cheerleading coach, Ms.

Amy Behrens, the girls had plenty of fresh ideas. They constantly worked together to create newer and better ways to pump up the crowd and cheer their team to victory.

While football games were exciting on their own, the support of the cheerleaders increased student involvement and school pride.

DURING THE LITTLE Babes performance, ju n io r officer Mali Rangel stands in front o f the girls to help with the routine.

The Boomtown Babes are a long standing tradition in Burkburriett and here at BHS. In the fall, fans get to experience the talents of the squad during football games. Performing in the stands and at halftime is a memorable experience for all team members.

Another aspect of the Babes tradition is the competitive spirit of the squad that takes the team to competitions during the spring semester.

Throughout the year, the dance team did many fundraisers to raise money for their big trip to Hawaii.

These fundraisers consisted of Poinsettia sales, Texas Roadhouse

gift cards, Sonic day, community dance clinics and a golf tournament Babes members flew out on March 21 to compete in Hawaii.

They had to learn 3 new routines, along with the officers learning 3 extra routines.

Competition routines consisted of a kick routine to "Technologic," a pom routine to "Are you going to be my girl," and a Toy Soldier routine.

The officers also did a lyrical dance to "Only Hope," a pom to "Kiss me," and a high kick routine.

"My favorite trip would have to be the one we took to Galveston," senior Jamie Tasker said, "Because it was a new experience and the team was really close."

-Christina Boatman

NEAR THE END of their dance, the Boomtown Babes show their leap technique. The girls learned many different techniques that they took with them to competition and practiced during football season during halftime performances.

Students have always been looking for an expressive outlet.

Here at BHS, these come in the form of the fine arts.

In guitar, students can enjoy an entire period of playing music. From the Rock’n’Roll hits of the 5 0 ’s to popular hits on today's radio, Mr. Johnny Divine knows it all.

Art class tends to be the most accepted choice of fine art Students develop skills in drawing, painting, and even sculpting.

The products of this class are put on display around the school.

become much more popular in recent years.

This year the theatre production of Grease sold out every show and dazzled the town with a live band and cast of over 20.

The newest fine art is dance, where students show off their moves and culture.

"We usually do ballroom dancing, but one day a student wanted to teach everyone the 'Soldier Boy'," said Mr. Bob Barrow.

Just remember, these imaginative students do their best to create a poignant production.

TAKING A BIG bite o f pizza, Senior Kelsey S terkel enjoys hanging out with the other Key Club m em bers.

Giving the C om m unity a Helping Hand Key Club, led by Mr. Ron Lawson, is a group that participates in many different community service projects.

At the beginning of the year Key Club members trick-ortreated for UNICEF. Members carried a box around all week collecting money for the organization and then on Halloween night, instead of collecting candy, they went doorto-door collecting donations.

UNICEF is an organization run by the United Nations that gives money to buy food for underprivileged children.

Key Club members also help out with the annual Kiwanis Pancake feed. The pancake feed is the largest fundraiser for the Kiwanis Club. The 12 hour all you can eat pancake feast raises funds for scholarships as well as funding local school chapters of the Key Club. They sell tickets and they also work during the Pancake feed.

Not only does the group participate in community projects, but they take time to hang out as a group and have pizza parties and go to hockey games.

a new team Mission Objective: Raise M oney for the C om m unity Following a four-year legacy, the new United Way team had a tough standard to uphold. With a completely new cabinet and fresh ideas, they planned to surpass other local high schools to once again be defending champion of the United Way Campaign.

The team began their campaign with big plans. Continuing sausage sales from last year, they revamped it with the inclusion of the extremely popular pigs-in-a-blanket. The team also held the first ever BHS Faculty Homecoming. Students nominated their favorite teachers then voted for the faculty King, Queen, and court by putting money in jars taken around the school during sausage sales.

With the new team came an

additional sponsor. Mrs. Kleckner, also sponsor for BPA, shared responsibilities with last year's sponsor Mr. Hardaway.

BHS won the interschool competition. The students and community benefited greatly from the area high schools working together to help the community. The schools' teams took their first trip together in September visiting the many places their fundraising would aid.

With many new and original ideas, the years to come look promising.

When asked how she felt about leading next year's team to a sixth victory, Cabinet M ember Bethany Kroll said, "It's an honor and I'm excited to carry on our tradition of winning. There's going be some pressure but I think we can make it."

stuck on stuco Stuco Spices Up the School Year Whether its participating in Teens Make A Difference Day, collecting cans, signing up blood donors, or even staying late to put together the rotunda Christmas tree, this year's student council staff has defined extreme involvement to the max.

The staff started the school year by hosting the annual blood drive. Members recruited students 18 years or older to donate blood for the Texas Blood Institute. Over 50 students participated and helped make a difference. Stuco also led the annual canned food drive; this year weighing in at about 1,300 pounds of canned foods. The cans went towards Grace Ministries.

To get the school into the Christmas spirit, members decorated the school's rotunda. This section of the school was fabulously adorned with many ribbons, lights, and of course, pine needles.

To wipe away the winter time blues, Stuco planned and organized the Winter Ball for students.

The ball was held at the community center and was open to all students. The dance was a perfect way to start the new year. Stuco sponsor, Ms. Lee takes pride in advising BHS' leaders, "Willingness to volunteer has been exceptional. The volunteers are enthusiastic and hardworking."

a strong character Cadets Set a Positive Example for Their Peers The AFJROTC program is a great opportunity for any student to experience a little bit of what it's like to live a military life or just to gain leadership skills in general.

Cadets in the program can earn ribbons and medals by attending school, maintaining their grades, and performing community service activities. Some of these activities include trips to the middle school, the veteran's home, and even serving as traffic control at the city's annual Friendship Festival.

Students also get the chance to perform in drill competitions throughout the year. The armed and unarmed drill teams have already

competed in two competitions in Arlington and San Antonio and they plan on competing in at least three more before the end of the year.

An awards banquet is held at the end of the year and cadets are honored for their hard work and dedication.

Some of the awards that are presented include the Daughters of the American Revolution award, the Tuskegee Airman award, and the Dress and Appearance award.

Not only is the AFJROTC program a strong example of the student leadership within our school, but it provides its cadets with skills and character qualities that they will carry with them throughout their lives.

Future Farmers Display D edication and Heart Future Farmers of America gives students an opportunity to get an early start on a possible career that they might want to pursue after their high school years have come to an end.

The members of FFA participate in fundraisers such as fruit, meat, and pumpkin sales to help raise money so that they can attend other events throughout the year.

FFA members work hard raising and taking care of their animals, such as hogs, goats, sheep, steers, and heifers, so that they can prepare them for different shows and events to be

judged. Prizes for winning livestock shows range from ribbons and trophies to scholarship money.

FFA not only focuses on raising and showing animals, they also do things including welding, and making improvements to their animals habitats so that their animals may be more comfortable. The lessons that FFA members learn during high school can translate into knowledge for college degrees and occupations in the agricultural field.

Participants in the Office Link program continue to prove to be a vital part of working BHS. Without their help, the BHS faculty and staff would have even more business to deal with than normal. Office Link is a clerical job in which students are hired to help out the faculty and staff members with school business.

Students diligently work in the office in Mrs. Kleckner's room to help answer phones, file paperwork, and just lend a helping hand when needed.

Students in the program show that hard work and diligence can get you ahead in life and help you to achieve your goals, especially in the business world. This program helps prepare students for the real office world while still getting the much needed exposure to the business life needed; the money is an added bonus as well. Students show that hard work, no matter where you are, really pays off.

h o w has AVIDi helped you w ith school?!

Students Express Ardent Desire to be Successful Standing for Advancement Via Individual Determination, AVID is a place where you can meet new people and help your fellow classmates with homework. AVID is a new program designed to help students succeed in high school, as well give them some preparation for college.

"The goal of AVID is to give average students the opportunity to take advanced classes they normally would not take," says Brad Avens. He also stated that AVID helps to give them "the academic tools to succeed."

AVID sponsors Brad Avens and Gloria Bond chose to help lead the program to help average ranked students accelerate to their full potential. The team behind

the AVID program include specially trained faculty members. Students qualifying for AVID have a GPA anywhere between 2.0 to 3.5, showing that they indeed not only have the desire - but the determination necessary to make it into college.

Freshman Tramaine Harrel says that AVID is an excellent program in itself because it "can help us with our individual needs."

Gloria Bond says that "AVID is an established nationwide program that we are happy to be a part of. We are very excited to watch the program and our students grow."

a steady pace O ff Campus Programs Help Students Gain Credit

[NCENTRATING ON HIS studies, a ieway student reads a m ath book.

Working at their own pace, students can choose to participate in the Gateway program offered at BHS to receive not only the additional assistance - but also gain all the proper credits to mandatory to graduate. Students typically involved in this program are at risk of not graduating, whether the circumstances are due to illnesses or excessive absences. As "easy" as it sounds, Gateway is more intense than regular high school because the students have no breaks working from 7:30 in the morning to 3:30 in the afternoon, trying to finish all of the requirements necessary before graduation. One of the benefits of being a student in

Gateway is the instruction you receive. Students can ask a question, and the teachers will give one on one instruction ensuring that the student understands the concept at hand.

Since there is no cafeteria, Gateway students do have the privilege to have off campus lunch, but will receive fifteen minutes of D-Hall, if tardy to back to class two or more times.

Initiated thirteen years ago by Paula McNeil, she says the program has "wonderful teachers, who all worked hard to build it."

In 2007, the BHS academics team sent four journalism competitors and one LD debater to regional competitions, one of whom advanced on to state.

With high hopes for 2008, most BHS competitors began working for district right after the winter break, though a few began even earlier.

While it may seem easy, these competitions can be some of the most strenuous and trying of them all.

"I've coached and judged debate for years and they can be some of the bloodiest things I've ever seen!" said Lincoln-Douglas Debate coach, Mr. Don Fritsche.

Be it a battle of words or a test of subject matter, these students represent the best and brightest of their school.

The 2 0 0 7 -2 0 0 8 school year was a monumental one for the members of the National Honor Society. With the fall induction of 70 new junior students, NHS was able to easily maintain its status as the largest organization on campus.

This acclaimed group constantly works to demonstrate the four cornerstones on which the National Honor Society was founded: character, service, leadership, and scholarship. These attributes also serve as the basic criteria for induction into the Bulldog Chapter of the National Honor Society.

With the start of school falling later into August, NHS met some struggles as several of their events take place early in the year. The officers and senior members worked to make everything run smoothly, with the help of such a strong new growth in membership.

Participating in service projects throughout the year such as Light the Night and the Head Start Christmas party, these upperclassmen served as role models to those below them in both academics and character.

taking a stand FCA represents Christ for BHS The Fellowship of Christian Athletes is an organization of student athletes that come together each week to participate in Bible study.

These athletes build strong friendships through sports, but the FCA group helps the students build relationships through Christ as well.

When asked why students would want to be in FCA, sophomore Bailey McGowan responded with, "I'm in FCA because I wanted to be a part of a group where I can share my faith with fellow believers in Christ. This

allows me to learn from my peers, share my faith, and have fun doing so."

FCA's weekly Bible study meets on Monday nights at Jan Lee Baptist Church. It gives athletes the opportunity to share quality time with God, friends and coaches, which can then be transferred into the community. Along with Bible study, the group likes to get together for pizza and catch a few games like the BCS National Championship game and Super Bowl.

The goal of FCCLA is to combine family, community service and careers to give students a first hand experience at service and leadership.

FCCLA participated in Teens Make a Difference Day and volunteered at the Boys & Girls Club to teach Burkburnett's youth about Halloween safety. In November, the club also went to Pizza Hut to learn how to create their very own personal pizza. When asked about what this club does for other students, its sponsor Ms. Gritton said, "It provides a leadership opportunity for students, helping to expand their horizons beyond the school day."

Art Club offers new avenue of creativity Students at BHS are always looking for a place to find others with common interests. With the creation of the Art Club, many students have found a place to express their artistic qualities with like minded people. Senior Elaina Cadle and junior M'Kensi Orf saw that the school did not yet have such a club and so they contacted art teachers Mrs. Clack and Mr. Cook to sponsor the club.

This year the club is making plans to tour museums, design a mural for the school and create T-shirt designs for Art Club.

This year members of the Art Club want to expand their creativity along with developing and expanding their love for art.

spandex, sweat & heart Young Team W orks Hard in Rebuilding Year The complexity of volleyball is unknown to many people. There are many aspects of the game that our own Lady Dogs worked on.

Hitters worked on hitting different types of sets and hitting certain angles of the court Setters worked on different types of sets, such as quick sets and shoots.

Passers worked on getting low and diving, and blockers worked on reading sets and getting their hands extended to the ball. These kinds of skills are required for a team to be successful on the varsity level.

THE VARSITY VOLLEYBALL team members are (front row) Ashley Rarick, Courtney Durst, Jenny Briscoe, Kristyna Butler, Lauren Devereaux, (back row) Kalea Correll, Chelsea Boyd, holly Cannon, and Taylor Lile.

With an overall record of 5-20-2 and a district record of 2-8, our varsity volleyball team struggled a bit with finishing off matches. Their two wins consisted of beating Hirschi in two 2-0 matches. Even though they were a bit discouraged, they still worked hard in practices and bonded as a team.

With the varsity volleyball team being so young and inexperienced this year, only three seniors and two returning 2 0 0 6 starters, the Lady Dogs look forward to a much more successful season in 2008.

arsity football breaks tradition Bulldogs Head to Playoffs Looking for Wins Football took on a new face for the 2 0 0 7 varsity players.

Hard work, endurance, and discipline were just a few skills that were contributed to make up the team and their success.

Football took up a majority of the players' time starting in August and many nights in the fall.

"During the summer I had to go to 2-a-days and then go to work afterwards,â&#x20AC;? said senior Jonathan Frank.

Practices and games led to many team injuries. From swollen ankles to concussions, the varsity players faced it all.

"While playing Vernon, I got a concussion. The only

thing that bothered me was not getting to play the rest of the game," said junior linebacker Derek Dowling.

Hard work paid off as the boys headed into district play and ended it defeating Hirschi, guaranteeing a place in playoffs. This was the first time in years since the team has had this opportunity.

"We haven't been to playoffs since 20 0 1 , and I'm so excited to get to go my senior year," said Hunter Rhude.

Playing football games after Thanksgiving proved to a goal accomplished for all the Bulldog players and coaches.

Members from both of the teams pushed themselves through strenuous practices and workouts to show their determination and heart to have a winning season this year.

As the some of these players

look forward to playing on the Junior Varsity team next year, some will earn a spot to play under the lights on Friday nights. Players will continue to show their strength and talent throughout all the difficult workouts to prove that they have what it takes to be a member of the Varsity Football team next season.

As the Bulldog tradition continues, these players are proving to be the legacy.

a new set and a fresh start Tennis Team Sees M any Changes in 2008 and a New Chance to Make their M ark The Bulldog Tennis team had quite a rough year last year, with head coach, Cary Caldwell, out much of the year with back surgery. This year has brought them many changes as well.

A new assistant coach, Coach Shane Newman, was brought in early in 2007. This brought many new opportunities for the team. Then, after winter break, the news arrived of Coach Caldwell's retirement.

"I am sad to see Coach go, but he did what he could for the team. One man can only do so much, and now it's time for someone else to take over," said varsity member Joel Smith.

Rather than look at this as a setback, the tennis team has chosen to look at it from the perspective of the game. It's just a new set in a long match.

Adjusting to last year's drop to 3A has also helped amass a more competitive edge to the team.

A large turn out of players has resulted in a massive JV team. With growing interest in the sport, there are plenty of players to fill varsity.

All of the recent changes present an opportunity to show true teamwork and quality character.

With several returning members, varsity golf members look forward to an even better season and advancing to regionals once again.

"I think that this year is as good as any other year for us to advance to regionals and possibly state," said varsity member Ryan Hopson.

Although the boys team had many returning players, the girls golf team, however, received new faces. The entire girls team are freshmen.

"We have some very experienced freshman girls, who have a chance of going to state. Along with them, the boys have a great chance of advancing to regionals for the second year in a row," golf coach Kay Dalke said.

'pITY BOYS GOLF members are Layne McBeath, Robert Turner, Ryan Hopson, 'irny Dalke, and Derek Dowling.

Practice continues at River Creek every B day. They practice putting, chipping, and driving. They are able to practice better by playing hole by hole.

To get a feel for other courses, the members also go to Hawk Ridge, The Country Club, or SAFB golf course in their spare time.

"I practice outside of the class as well. Hopefully I will be able to take my game further and play in college," said senior varsity member Layne McBeath. Along with his teammate, Rex Allen says practicing golf is very important as well.

"I practice sometimes outside of the class, but it does help me enjoy the game more the longer I play," Rex said.

Cross Country Runners Kick it Into High Gear If you're looking-for a true cross country runner, you just need to glance down Kramer Road to see this year's winning team. Combined with perseverance, hard work, effort, and of course sweat, this years boys' & girls' teams had a successful season.

The boys' cross country team took home the # 1 spot at Seymour, Iowa Park, and Graham meets throughout the season. The boys won the title of District champions, and tied for 4th place at regionals. Boys' sponsor, Coach Mosley says," I was really excited about the

guys running and improving each week. I am looking forward to next year because we only had 2 seniors this year."

As for the girls' cross country team, they too stepped up their game and won 1st place at the Lawton and Graham meets. The girls placed 2nd at district. It was an intense meet, with the 1st place team winning by only 1 vital point. The girls placed 14th at regionals. Girls' cross country coach, Loy Triana, shares that, "We started the season running hard, and finished the season running harder than we ever imagined."

a determined team Varsity Girls W ork Hard For Successful D istrict Run Starting the 2007-08 season with a team of fresh faces, the Lady Bulldogs had their work cut out for them.

The team came into district with a few losses from non-district, but they shook them off to keep up their game as they went into the later matches.

This dedication to the sport is something the varsity team sees as a key factor in winning. “[The girls] have come a long way,” Head Coach Alex Koulovatos said.

“Our non-district schedule was very tough, but got us ready for battles in district play.”

One of the benefits this year was found in the amount of members on 6 6

the team. With the ability to put in so many different players during the game, the Lady Dogs are able to keep up the strong scoring that has carried them further than their opponents.

Keeping a strong cycle of players is a valuable component to a powerful, consistent game.

“The team has played with a lot of heart and has worked hard all season to meet our goals,” says Koulovatos.

Hopefully the talent and potential of this year's team and their determination will lead them to more success in the season as they continue into the playoffs.

nobody plays harder Varsity Boys Pick Up Speed Going Into D istrict Being ranked 17th in the state can make a huge target on your back. This didn't seem to be bother the Dunkin' Dogs as they went into district with a 5 game winning streak.

Prior to the start of the district portion of the basketball season, the Dogs only had a total of 5 losses. This is major accomplishment and positive indication of district domination.

Looking into district the Dogs won half of district defeating Hirschi, Graham, Iowa Park and ending the first half of district with an exciting

game against Vernon at the Lion Gymnasium. The 2nd half of district mirrored the success of the 1st half.

The Dogs' have much higher aspirations though. Their goal this year is to travel far into the playoffs if not to travel all the way to Austin for the state tournament at the University of Texas.

As long as they play with their hearts and make their slogan come true, "NPH", Nobody Plays Harder, they should find themselves sitting pretty in the playoffs this year.

good, better, best JV Girls Play at their Greatest Advantage This season, the Junior Varsity girls basketball team was very committed to staying on task and making improvements from last year's season, both as individuals and as a team.

The team members pushed themselves in games and practices.

Starting training with practices that stressed the fundamentals and teambuilding skills, the JV squad developed a sense of teamwork that goes beyond the court.

The practices have created and nurtured a very strong friendship between the players, and because of this, they have learned to depend on and trust one another while

"I love this team," says sophomore Holly Cannon. "We laugh, get along, and make jokes with Coach Miracle."

Carrying their commitment and teamwork into the games, the players implemented what they learned in practices by supporting each other during plays. Learning team skills helped improve their overall level of play.

Ending their season, the team won close to all of their games. Their hard work and dedication showed just how much they've grown as players and as a team.

Working hard throughout the season the freshmen and JV had high hopes for the upcoming district games. Sophomore Mark Broomfield says" I feel we're going to do really well this year.

We have alot of depth on our bench that other teams just don't have, which will really help out this season. I feel like we could go all the way and become district champs!"

With district just around the corner both freshmen and JV have spent a great amount of exhausting hours in the gym to get prepared for the teams that they will be facing in district.

Throughout the season, both teams have worked really hard to achieve their goals and going into district they will be faced with challenges of overcoming different teams to be awarded district champions.

Heading into district the school and the community are looking forward to see how the freshman and JV will perform.

Tournaments were another important part in practicing and honing their soccer skills. The girls went to the PATZ Tournament in Crowley (near Fort Worth) and attended another tournament that was held in Wichita Falls.

The team remains optimistic for the rest of the season. They hope to go to the games and perform to the best of their ability while preparing the younger team members for the soccer season next year.

Boys Soccer Gets a Kick Start to a Successful Season Many people would agree that soccer is one of the most physically demanding sports out there. Not only do you need speed and endurance, but you need good coordination and reflexes as well.

This year's boys soccer team has done nothing but improve from previous years and they are out to prove to everyone that they can accomplish anything they set their minds to.

Every day after school, the

varsity and junior varsity teams practice drills to improve passing, receiving, and dribbling. The goal of these drills is to increase consistency and improve technique needed for game day.

The team has seen major improvements both offensively and defensively. With the addition of new players and an increase in team morale, the boys soccer team is well on its way to many successful seasons in the future.

Softball Girls Strike O u t C om petition Hoping to claim the title as best in state, the '06-'07 state runners-up brought their hard work and team spirit to this year's JV and Varsity softball teams. With many returning players, the team was able to continue this season with the drive and determination gained from last year's accomplishments.

The softball teams, both JV and Varsity, practiced after school five days a week and sometimes Saturdays.

Even though softball was state-bound for the second consecutive year, softball only has class every other day due to block scheduling, unlike other athletics

courses.

With BHS moving down from 4A to 3A two years ago, such good performance is to be expected, yet the girls' softball teams still compete with 4A and some 5A schools. The Varsity softball team competed in a tournament in February winning all but two games against 5A schools.

With their outstanding performance last year, this year, and what is expected in years to come, one thing is certain: BHS softball is stepping up to the plate with superior grace and skill.

Starting late January with after school practices and paying meticulous attention to perfect every move - the Bulldog Baseball team stayed very dedicated working hard for a good season.

Senior Quay Grant foresees this year's team as being successful. "This year we have a hard playing team with a few young stand-outs that will be a big part of our line up," said Grant.

As in the past, many of the baseball players have been teammates for the past year or so, and they know each other's strong points, as well as points of improvement.

"I feel we'll go far this year and have a lot of fun doing it," says Junior Zach Krebs. Krebs, along with other players, shows dedication to the sport that they play. "When I'm playing ball, nothing else matters at that time," he says.

Coach Leach agrees with the dedication being a key factor to the teams future success. "[Baseball] helps overcome a lot of adversity.

It's a life lesson."

Together, with strong determination and staying focused, the team is guaranteed to slide into a homerun, as well as hit a grand slam.

The number of varsity swimmers this year is higher than it has been in the past several years.

This year the Bulldog Swim Team added two members, junior Chris Tarrant and freshmen Alex Morani, to the team,

making it a three person team.

The swim team put in long, exhausting hours at the Wichita Falls Central Boys and Girls Club pool during last period classes and after school.

Being one of the smallest swim teams in the district, they represented Burkburnett exceptionally well with all members advancing to the Regional M eet in Fort Worth.

Bulldog Strength sends Powerlifters to Regional Meet

For many people, passion for what you do is one of the keys to being successful in what you do. However, for powerlifting, you also need to have strength, determination, and the will to push forward no matter how sore you are.

Powerlifting is a sport which only the most dedicated of people can participate in with great success. The powerlifting team practices Monday through Thursday after school so that they can prepare for the meets they

attend and compete against lifters from other schools. The lifters not only compete against their peers, they also compete against themselves to try and total a higher weight than they have before.

Last year, Burkburnett had several of its powerlifters advance onto regionals and state. This year, nine of the team members advanced to regionals with hopes of advancing to the state meet.

just keep running Runners Race For Success Track is an ene'rgetic time consumer for many high school students, either in school or on their own time. These students devote much of their time to running and watching what they eat.

A typical day in the life of a BHS track student is getting up and running, going to school, and then after school going to the track for practice and running even more. Many of the students in track also were members of the cross country team.

"I enjoy watching young athletes push themselves to limits they did not know existed," said Coach Loy Triana, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and I feel track is a sport that you have to

have that internal drive to accomplish this."

They had to be in good shape to keep up with the best, so they practiced until they could not practice anymore. There are many returning lettermen as well as a few new members.

"My favorite part of track is hanging out at the meets," said senior Trey Fournier, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the uniforms are pretty cool, too."

Track consists of many different events such as, sprints, relays, jumps, and other fielding events. Students had to compete for the positions they wanted to participate in.

Regardless of whether the student intends to pursue the subject or not, his or her work was noted as being remarkable and outside the proverbial box.

Recipients must have

a high GPA in the field for which they are being honored. They must have gone the extra mile and have demonstrated themselves trustworthy and hardworking. The skills being honed now, and for which they have been selected, are keys to success and promotion in future endeavors. And with such stellar performances being demonstrated now, those futures are bright.

Drama and Debate. These two words are prefect to describe senior Ian McMurrey. In fact he encourages this to and for

underclassmen.

"Be a life artist!" said Ian. Favorite pastimes of Ian's include reading, writing, martial arts, and theatre.

However, after high school, he plans to make his dreams become even bigger.

"I plan to pursue a career which combines technical theatre and computer science, such as robotic lighting," Ian said.

While in high school he says that he would have done things differently within the past four years.

"I would have taken all my required classes in the fewest years possible," admits Ian.

O ur Bulldog Spirit Can be Seen from Heaven

For the first time, the class of 2 0 11 participated in the Homecoming pep rally with their skit about the Roarin' 20's, complete with flappers and an old-fashioned float. All their hard work paid off to win them third place.

The freshman football players and their flappers took part in a dance-off with their TCA opponents, winning dramatically. Proving their creativity, the freshmen ended the skit by 'eliminating' the competition.

Beginning their high school years, the freshmen start out in the freshman wing, or the "fish tank," for their core classes. But many of the freshmen leave the wing for pre-AP and honors courses, for various electives, and for sports and activities.

the real story M aking your year that much better Behind the scenes many employees of the district work long hours to make your experience more pleasureable.

The cafeteria staff is devoted to feeding you.

Though many may pretend not to like the food, students rush out of class and fight over who gets the first slice of pizza, just a compliment to the cafeteria workers.

Students can see the custodians everyday, but few appreciate the work they do.

Without these devoted employees, our school would be a trash heep. Yet, they labor to keep our school tidy.

a bright future Closing Walking into the room filled with my peers, friends, family, and mentors, my heart raced to the rhythm of Pomp and Circumstance. This was it. I was finally graduating after four long years of hard work.

That thought filled me with excitement and anticipation, but also sadness and apprehension. I had been waiting so long

years to come.

Listening to them, we each had thoughts of our own running through our minds.

Thoughts about where we would all be heading in just a few short months.

Pretty soon, we would be starting jobs and careers, moving away, and beginning college.

There would be

to leave high school and go off to face the world on my own, but I was hesitant.

Leaving the world and people I had grown accustomed to, leaving my friends and family, leaving high school behind was scary and intimidating.

Sitting down in our seats, the speakers began to give their advice about leading our lives, telling us what was in store for the

new faces and places, new experiences and opportunities.

After my name was called, I walked across the stage to receive my diploma. As graduates, we turned our tassels and threw our caps in the air. We were ending a chapter in our lives, but we were also looking forward to a bright future and starting with a clean slate.

"We were looking forward to a bright future and starting with a clean slate."

Closing

Closing 2 3 1

genuine goodbye Colophon Scavenging for a theme for this year's annual was not an easy task.

However, after much contemplation, the editors agreed on "A Clean Slate."

This is a unique cover as the staff chose a modern, clean white cover.

Finishing it off in a white matte lithocote, the yearbook measured 7 3 /4 " by 10 1/2". The yearbook increased in size by a half signature, or eight 100 weight enamel pages.

Placed on the pages were 40 point headlines in Cabal Bold and 16 point subheads in Athena. Body was written in 12 point Genesis and captions in 9 point Nouveau Gothic.

Closing

Yearbook sales in the fall were estimated at 550 copies. For the first year, yearbooks were also purchased online. The price for each book was $45 without a cover name and $50 with a name. Sales continued after the book was released at $60. The production price totalled $29,500.

Portraits were taken by Lifetouch and Gordon Photography.

The Derrick belongs to the Interscholastic League Press Conference and the Burkburnett Chapter of Quill and Scroll. The yearbook representative was Tammy Hollier of Taylor Publishing.
