Salinas 0 Palma 14 Although the Junior Varsity didlft have the most successful year record wise, they learned a lot of skills necessary to build a cham-pionship team. The Junior Varsity year was a learning experience and the players were given a chance to fine-tune their skills before the big move up to varsity. Head coach George Petersen stated, They played good and got better every game. Petersen, a new coach at a new school, which also moved into a new league found it tough but yet found it rewarding in the long run. The key point of their football season that stood out in coach Petersen's mi n d w a s th e homecoming game and the spirit of the school. Players to look for next year are David P ol a n c o , J 0 s h M e y e r s , D a v i d Alonzo, Andi Ament, and others who began showing more and more promise as the season progressed. We look for big things for this upcoming season as the majority of these players will graduate to the varsity ranks. - Lupe Aguirre 160 I V.

Hidden Hero Puttin it on th line Do you ever wonder why these guys play line positions? So the point is clear. Without a line, touchdowns just wouldn't happen. Think about it! They get no credit except when they are charged with a penalty, or when they are referred to as dumb linemen by some angry coach. But if people realized half the plays they must remember, then they would understand how hard it really is on the line. Even though they don't get the credit for the touch-downs, where would the running backs be without their line opening the holes for them to run through? Where would the quarter-back be without the line giving him time so he can throw? I'll tell you where - on their backs staring up at the stars! Conversley, when you think of defense, you think of interceptions. The linebackers and cornerbacks who become instant hero's with one quick grab of a weak- thrown pass would be nothing if it wasn't forthe line putting on the pressure with a hard- hitting pass rush. So is the point becoming obvious to you? Simply put, without a line, the team would go NOWHERE!
