Freshmen stress fundamentals, results in adequate 11- 4- season The Freshman Football team inter- cepted what appeared to be a losing season. by finishing with a sturdy 4-4 record. After we made a few personnel changes. we played really well, explained Head Coach Chris Beatty. Coach Beatty soloed in teaching the team the fundamentals, since the other frosh coach, Mr. Dan Majetich, con- tracted a serious illness, and could not remain throughout the year. In their first season in high school ball, the freshmen suffered three losses in their first four games, but bounced back to win three out of their last four games. Offensively,,the Prospectors accumulated l82 points, while the defense allowed only 60 points. Beginning the season, the team trav- eled to Gilbert, to meet with the Tigers on their own turf. Unfortunately, the Prospectors came up short, I8-0 . . . Gilbert. Traveling to Dysart, the Frosh defeated the Demons 8-0. The Prospec- tors acquired two more losses in the next two weeks: first a 12-0 loss against the Gerard Redcoats, and 6-2 defeat by the Superior Panthers. After making a few major personnel changes, the gridders proved victorious against the Bourgade Golden Eagles 34-6. and the Ajo Raiders 30-6. The Propectors then challenged the Eloy Dust Devils at home. This game turned out to be the Frosh's toughest encounter of theyear. and it showed in the final score of 6-0, Eloy's favor. Concluding their season. the fresh- men retaliated with a 28-6 win over Phoenix Indians. - Mark Schrooten Take 90 Stop action Page 90- li FRESHMAN MILO BLANCI-IARD awaits instruc- tions from Coach Chris Beatly dur- ing the Eloy game.
