' lc wean , - tarting from the end of last year's football season, dedicated players trained hard to make the Toro Varsity Football of 1985 a big success. The season began slowly with a 1-4 record. That was when Coach Jesse Parker adopted the slogan, Tough Times Never Last: But Tough People Do. Park- er stated, Midway through the year, when many had given up on us, l was proud of the way the team fought back against so much adversi- ty to win a spot in the play-offs, when all seemed hopeless. Quarterback Sam Fitch said, Coach Park- er put us to the test and told us we had to get the job done. The team came together more as a family. We trusted one another more and didn't worry so much about making a mistake. We went out there and played like we did in practice. On September 27, re- venge hit the Toros as they upset McClintock, who was ranked sixth in the nation, 19-6. This victory highlighted the season and showed what the team could do. Everyone, including Coach Parker, agreed that the Toros were back. Never count us out, never! Parker yelled as the last sec- onds of the McClintock game ticked off. Bob Davis, 1195, who played linebacker, tight end, and fullback, was spectacular the night of the McClintock game. Parker said he had a career in one night. He sacked quarterback setting a school recor for a single game.
