"We’re real pleased with first week's
work," Coach L. G. Wilson said in
summing up the effort and performance
of the Hornet gridders. "We’ve got sev-
eral things we need to work on, but the
first group looks pretty good in all as-
pects, offensively and defensively."
Varsity, junior varsity and freshman
squads will travel to Borgcr today
(Thursday) to battle Perryton in their
first scrimmages. JV and frosh teams
will both take the field "about 6:30."
They arc to play on separate fields.
Varsity competition between the Hor-
nets and the Rangers is planned "around
8."
Thursday of next week, Aug. 31, will
find the Tulia varsity and J V journeying
to Hart for their second and final scrim-
mages. "We’re trying to arrange a scrim-
mage for our freshmen that day, also,"
Coach Wilson said.
90 PLAYERS
Fifty-two players "in the top three
grades" were in camp Monday, plus 38
frosh.
"We have a good number of boys out
for our size school," Coach Wilson said.
"We’re the second smallest schtxil
(Floydada is the smallest) in this district
and we've probably got as many boys
out (for football) as any sch<x>l in our
district."
Tulia High has an enrollment of ap-
proximatlcy 330. If one-half (165) of
these arc male students, over half of the
boys in high schtxil would be participat-
ing in football.
Friday was the teams' first day in pads
and the first inner-squad scrimmage was
held that night before the Meet the
Hornets introduction of players.
"I thought our kids looked pretty good
for the first scrimmage," said the veteran
Hornet mentor and athletic director,
who has announced plans to retire at the
conclusion of the 1989-90 sch<xil year."
Wilson pointed out that "It took a
while to get (Hir motor running Monday

morning; it was a typical Monday work-
out, but we got a lot of conditioning
work in."
The squads "came through the first
week with no injuries. We have had a
few minor muscle strains and a lot of
soreness, but no injunes," Wilson said.
Varsity and JV gndders will work out
one time only this Friday, at 10 a.m.
Freshmen will not practice that day.
With school starting Monday, only
afternoon drills will be held.
Coaches plan to scout future oppo-
nents, possibly Randall and Canyon, in
Friday scrimmages.
OFFENSE SHARP
Offensively, the Hornets have
"looked good. We're ahead of last year.
Both of our quarterbacks (Darin Morris
and Charlie Adkins) are handling the
teams well and throwing exceptionally
well," the Hornet mentor added.
"Our receivers are running good pat-
terns and catching the ball well. We’ve
had good inside and outside running and
our kicking game looks good. We have
good competition among our kickers.
"Our first offensive line group looks
good, but we need some improvement in
the interior line depth."
The Hornet varsity defense "may be a
little behind what we were at this point
last year.”

TEAMS Scores Rated
'Pretty Good Overall'
" The scores, I thought, were pretty good overall," Superintendent Mike Vinyard
says of TEAMS test results for local public school students. "We showed some
improvements in some grades and also had some declines."
TEAMS isTcxas Educational Assessmcntof Minimum Skills. The tests arc taken
annually by first, third, fifth, seventh, ninth and eleventh grade students.
Supt. Vinyard stresses that TEAMS tests "do point out strengths and weaknesses
and show us where to pul the emphasis next year."
"Students who fail (the tests) as juniors must lake them again as seniors. They
must pass the test to graduate," the superintendent explains. TEAMS examinations
arc given in both the fall and spring, thus a student has four opportunities (twice as
both a junior and twice as a senior) to pass the test.
It is difficult to compare scores from consecutive years because "you must keep
in mind that these arc two different classes," the superintendent says. The most
viable comparison is to check this year’s fifth grade, for example, with the third
grade class of two years ago because these would be the same group of students and
their progress could be detailed.
TEAMS actually arc tests in both mathematics and language arts.
PERCENTAGES EXAMINED
Eleventh grade students showed an 80 percent mastery of mathematics and a 93
percent mastery of language arts.
By contrast, the ninth grade class had a 90 percent mastery of mathematics but
was 72 percent on total reading and 78 percent on total writing.
Seventh graders scored exceptionally well on both matcmatics, 96 percent
mastery, and total reading, 90 percent. Total writing was 70 percent mastery.
The fifth grade class had a 93 percent in mathematics, an 84 percent in total
reading and a 76 percent in total writing.
Highest composite in any area of the TEAMS was a 98 percent mastery of
mathematics in third grade. Ninty-twoof 94 students who look the test passed. Third
grade was 90 percent in total reading and 87 percent in total writing.
