Under 16- Undefeated! FRONT ROW: Wilson II, Benson I, Green II, Gaskin, Leggat, Suchanek, Morrison II, Manbert, Bateman, Hogaboam, Piatt I, Gibson II. CENTRE ROW: Mr. Manbert, Stacey, Josselyn, Fulford, Stott, Benson II, Logan II. Halliday, Lytle, Roberts, Hubner, Mr. Landry. BACK ROW: Mckenzie II, Stuart IV, Beckett I, Merrill, Beasley, Woolley, Thompson II, Redmond, King, Parks, Yustin II, Sell, Kishino. On a muggy September af- ternoon, about 65 boys gathered on the east football field in shorts, ready to tackle the up- coming season. After dispensing with twenty or so individuals who preferred to play soccer, we, the coaches started to assess the talents of the U16 football team. At first, both of us, Mr. Landry and myself, were somewhat skeptical about our chances this year. We knew that this group had had a relatively successful time last year, but at the U16 level, this could easily change. We were also painfully aware that many of the boys would be leaving for our northern campus. We certainly did not feel, at the outset, that another undefeated season would unfold within eight weeks. Perhaps the keynote of this year ' s offensive team was ver- satility. We were fortunate that no one had to go two ways but numerous changes on the line and backfield had to be made due to injuries and the northern campus. At centre was John Piatt, a very willing young man who seldom made a mistake. (As I told all the offensive linemen, games are won and lost in the trenches: our winning season certainly can be attributed to the efforts of these ' unsung ' heroes.)

At the guard positions, George Stott and Peter Logan and at times, Robby Manbert, all proved that effective blocking is the only way to move the ball. By far the most difficult task is pass blocking - all these people worked long and hard on each facet of the game. Our tackles, Chuck Stacey, David Suchanek, our Captain, and David Josselyn led many a quick pitch around the end and threw devastating blocks at the cornerbacks. This play, in particular, resulted in many touchdowns - one good block and the halfback was gone. Our offensive ends, Dun- can Roberts and speedy Don Benson provided us with both pass catching ability and blocking efficiency. Our flankers, Paul Bateman, Bill Beasley, Tom Lytle and Fraser McKenzie, proved to be ' double threats ' in that they were all capable pass receivers as well as blockers. We were very for- tunate to have two outstanding halfbacks, Dan Sell and Don Green. Danny was particularly effective inside, while Don was the source of our outside speed. They learned to use their blocking effectively, and as a result scored 112 points between them - close to half the team total. Don was the leader with 13 touchdowns in 6 games. Mark Gaskin took the reins as quar- terback with an extreme air of confidence. He generally called the right play at the right time, but often had the coaches in an uproar with some of his play selections. To all members of the offensive team I would just like to say - thank you. D.M. This year ' s defensive squad, with a good mix of experienced pros and rookies, was somewhat stingy in allowing the opposition to score. In fact, the net number of points yielded was a mere three per game and the final game of the season was the only one in which the pressure was really on the defense. Because of various excursions to the Northern Campus, only four or five individuals played in the same position all season. Of these, Defensive Captain and middle linebacker Keith Morrison played the most important role, for his excellent inside tackling and outside pursuit contributed greatly both in stopping our op- ponents and in uplifting and en- couraging the rest of the unit. Al Halliday, our enthusiastic behemoth, anchored the line at middle guard and proved to one and all that he was tough enough to play this game. Well done, Al. Interior linebackers Ashley Kishino, Tom Lytle and Dan Yustin generally shut off whatever Morrison missed, and Kishino was especially fearless in facing opposing running backs coming off-tackle. He
