l What Is A Synonym For Invincible? THOSE SCRIMMAGING MEN! After viewing the powerful 1986-87 FroshfSoph Football Team tackle its way through an- other exciting season, the Dons were surely added to the dictio- nary as a synonym for invinci- ble . Experience and unity proved to be the key to this team as two solid coaches, Mr. Brian Von AI- men, and Mr. Greg Jones, who had previously led another high school's team through successful seasons, taught the Dons sureshot plays. Coach Adolf Snaft returned for a second year to continue training these Dons for future var- sity play. Many of the previous year's freshman players also re- turned, providing leadership for the team. Unity also played a major role in the power of the Dons. Commu- nication between the players showed clear, enabling the suc- cessful execution of plays. Even off the field the athletes supported each other adding to the ability to cooperate which is so vital in such a sport. Intensive training with condi- tioning, drilling, and practicing, built an all around potent team. Opponents struggled to penetrate the Aragon defense which stood like a brick wall. A goal of lettin as little points as possible be takei motivated the defense to hole their ground. On the otherhand the offense exploded through the opponents' blocks. Led by quar terback Mike Chandler whorr teammates called the strength o' the team, no one was to be disap pointed with Aragon's perfor mance.

in the goal. With great confidence, the FroshfSoph Football Team entered the season. Though all agreed that the Woodside team would give the Dons a tough match, increased preparation rea- died them for a showdown. Coach Sanft summed up the feeling of the Dons by remarking, We're no match for any other team in the league! We're in a league above the rest! Indeed the playing of the ProshfSoph team soared and no one was let down in the end.
