LINEMAN Dominic Speranza, Senior - played both ways as offensive tackle and linebacker on defense. In close yardage situations, we would always run to Dominic,s side for that extra yard we needed. It is going to be very tough to find a replacement with the experience and athletic ability that he possesses. We will miss his leadership on and off the field. Dominic is a fine athlete and a fine person and will be missed next year. 1977 Honorable Mention All-American HALFBACK Gwayne Davis, Sophomore - averaged 150 yards in seven games with 30 carries per game. He was injured in the 7th game and did not play the remaining two games. Gwayne could possibly be the best running back A.S.D. has ever had. This season he rushed for 1,042 yards, carrying the ball 170 times. Gwayne scored 74 points out of a team total of 104 points. 1977 Honorable Mention All-American LINEMAN Alvin Kirkemier, Sophomore - we were very happy to have Alvin back on the football team after a few years of not playing. It didn't take him long to get back into the swing of things and prove himself well. Alvin played nose man on defense and led the team in tackles with an average of twelve tackles per game. We look for good things from him on both offense and defense in the next couple of years. N .. 1 1 2 LL6I 03 II 9.193 9911 afield

rn S-I 0 lay P CC P611 fe O11 C 77 19 :- Iv UN BACK Timmy Scroggins, Junior - walked on the field this year as a completely different player than from the one he was last year. He went all the way for us this year as quarterback and did a fine job for us. He also helped to save several touchdowns by his defensive ability at safety. LINEMAN Billy Black, Sophomore - was a key defensive player for us ranking second in total number of tackles per game. He led the team in breaking through the line to sack the quarterbaek. He will have an even bigger responsibility next year when he will be needed on both offense and defense. We look for Billy to still do a good job for us. BACK Calvin llall. ,lunior - is one ol' the mos! voaehable boys l have ever had. He played bolli ways and Caught some fine passes for us lhis year. We look for Calvin lo he a good leader in his senior year.
