Title Page

Complete Picture From early history, the Bulldog has been known as a tenacious breed. Their readiness to fight and refusal to surrender has been the subject of many a story and tall tale. The loyal dogs fight to win. In the rough-and-tumble early days of the 20th century, the animals were popular as guard dogs for businesses. With the Burkburnett oil boom in fullswing, the dogs were everywhere - guarding derricks and equipment yards from theft and sabotage, traveling with itinerant drillers and roughnecks. Later, with the town settled down some and the school system formed, a team mascot was needed. The natural choice for Burkburnett was, of course, the bulldog - well known for so long as a staunch defender of the town’s assets. Today’s Burkburnett Bulldog is a product of that colorful" heritage of strength, stamina, and loyalty. 2

nly one co n stru ctio n area of the school re m a in e d in c o m p le te when students returned to the campus in the fall— the rotunda. For the center of the new rotun da, the school board with the fi nancial help of supporters, friends, and alumni com m issioned Jack Stevens, a well-known area sculp tor, to design a $35,000 bronze bulldog sculpture. "This bulldog sculpture will be the cornerstone on which Burkbur nett Bulldogs build their school spir it and pride," superintendent Dan ny Taylor said. "Future generations will be able to see the dedication of past friends and supporters." 'W ith proper fanfare in late fall, the bronze Burkburnett Bulldog m ascot took its place of honor on a black marbel pedestal in the ro tunda, giving the com m unity and students— the c o m p le te picture. — Ed Blankenship, editor-in-chief

Boys’ basketball team advances to playoffs Every year before the first leather ball is bounced upon the hardw ood in the sacred Bulldog gymnasium, every student has high hopes for y e t a n o th e r o u ts ta n d in g varsity season. “ The Burkburnett Basket ball program has never b e lie v e d in lo s in g ," c o a c h James Mosely said. O nce the varsity season was underway, this q uo te was proven when the Dogs dismembered nearly every team they played in the an nual Fantasy of Lights tour n a m e n t b e fo re falling to S ou th Lake C a rro ll a n d c la im in g s e c o n d p la c e overall. “ The strength o f our team comes from every individu al's contribution," said var sity c o a c h Danny Nix. “ I d o n 't like to give any one person full credit, because we play as a te a m ." Not only did they have a dom inating season with a

15-6 record, but they clin ched first p la ce in district with an almost unblemished record of 9-1, earning them a berth in the playoffs. “ I'm very proud o f this te a m ; th e y 'v e pulled to g e th e r a nd w o rke d very well with each other," Nix said. This season, the Dogs pro gram was a colorful collage of extrem ely talented a th letes, tha t a t times, seemed unstoppable on the court. “ This year was different because there was a lot of team unity we never had b e fo re ," senior s ta n d o u t M att Gipson said. Other well defined players included senior guard Jay January, w ho jo in e d the squad a fte r m oving from Guam, freshman center C a sey Copeland, junior guard Eric Gates, as well as senior guards Kendrick Manuel and JJ Edwards.

Dominant seasons promise bright future A lth o u g h m a n y th in g s seem to be hanging in the b alan ce when basketball season begins, one thing has always remained, a cer tainty...the Bulldogs will be a cut above the rest. This season's freshm an basketball team went 20-7 on the season and ended up first in district play with a 7-3 record. "This team has stuck to g e th e r through a dve rsity and m ade momentous stri des this season," said fresh m a n c o a c h J.J. B a rry . "There are some players who took great steps as far as becoming b ette r basket ball players." The junior varsity was a re al wonder to behold sliding in fourth in the 3A division a t the Fantasy of Lights tourna ment, as well as being the first JV ever a t Burk to win not one, but tw o varsity tournaments. “ Our JV is full o f o ver achievers and hard work-

This is proven in the record books which reveal a hardly tarnished record o f 27-2 in pre-district play and a per f e c t 10-0 d is tric t re c o rd which earned the Dogs first place.

Boys’ soccer sufficient in skill, lacking with luck L o o k in g b a c k on th e 2000-2001 soccer season, no one can begin to im ag ine how difficult of an athlet ic journey the team made. Throughout all o f their pre district play, the varsity was p la g u e d w ith n um erou s conflicts, finishing with a re cord of 2-6. “ We struggled with inju ries, ineligible players, and in a lot of our close games, penalty kicks really took a t o ll," said va rsity c o a c h Martin Metcalf. “ These seni ors w e re in kin d e rg a rte n when I began coaching he re. In all those years, this is the strangest one I have ev er seen as far as having a b r illia n t te a m a n d n o t enough luck." The t e a m w a s c o m plimented with a very ta l ented roster of players that let their com m itm ent over com e their struggles. Senior Ivo Skrisovsky, a foreign ex change student from the Czech Republic, played for

ward for the Dogs. “ It w a sn 't hard g e ttin g used to soccer as a sport in. America, because back a t home I p ra cticed five times a w e e k," Skrisovsky said. O th e r te a m m e m b e rs who did not allow fa te to ta rn is h th e ir d e d ic a tio n w e re s e n io r m id fie ld e rs Thomas M ercado and Chris Lee. “ The team seemed more experienced this year, we just lost a lot o f peo p le w e needed due to eligibility," Lee said. “ O nce the y cam e back, the team was more c o m p le te ." Several key players d ro p ped out before the season b e g a n . “ I le a rn e d a b o u t com m itm ent this season b e cause w e had experienced players th a t w e really need ed who p re tty much a b a n doned us," senior M ercado said. “ W e could have given up, but w e pressed on and a c c o m p lis h e d a lo t." — Justin Wright

Float wins second Zoning into a whole new atmosphere, the fresh man class began the year by electing their class leaders. "It was fun gathering to build something so spe cial to our school,” freshman reporter Lindsay Tugman said. In the traditional Charlie Brown cartoon, Charlie Brown is never able to kick a field goal because of that scandelous Lucy. Their luck changed though when the freshman captured second place with their "Charlie Brown” skit in the 2000 Homecoming float competition. Along with other festivities were the crowning of the Freshman Prince and Princess. Codi Cormmacho was chosen as princess and Eron Awakuni as prince. "I was shocked," Eron said. "I didn't even think I was going to be nominated." — Lindsay Walker

She has been teaching for a to ta l o f 37 years. She taught a t Terral, OK, before she cam e to Burkburnett. With a major in business, she graduated from college in Courtney, OK. During tax season, she works a t H&R Block. She is also the coordinator of DREAM Week.

The objective o f DREAM Week is to provide an o pp o r tunity for junior students to spend one week working in a business environment. The benefit o f DREAM W eek is th a t students experience the real world for themselves.

s the picture of 2001 becomes com plete, graduates look for w a rd to a n e w c h a lle n g e whether it be with college, technical school, or a full-time working career. After 40 years working in education as a te a c h e r/c o a c h and p rin cip a l o f three schools, Mr. Stan Owen completes his final professional picture after seven years as leader of Burkburnett High School. With citizenship being taught in Novem ber, for the Character Counts study, stu dents were even more aware of the Pres idential race between Al Gore and George W. Bush. As Florida citizens had their votes re c o u n te d w ith b a ttle s over "Hanging Chads" and "Pregnant Chads," the elec tion showed the world about American citi zenship. With several judicial battles and 39 days of waiting after the election, Texas Gover nor George W. Bush was finally declared the forty-third president of the United States of America. He was also named TIME mag azine's "Person of the Year." Bill Clinton left the White House with scan dals on his pardons and the former First Lady Hillary Clinton won the Senate race in New York. When the Class of 2001, who saw the I school construction com p le te d, receive I their diplomas on June 1, the picture will be com pleted. — Ed Blankenship ^
