JV Sets School Record with 20 Consecutive Shutout Quorters i . . .definitely C.I. F. champions when they ' re seniors, was what JV Coach Gary Rungo proclaimed about his Ivy League championship team. Coach Rungo added, The players had a good attitude and an intense desire to win the Ivy League championship. En- thusiastically, they accomplished their goal by winning the championship and setting a school record, twenty con- secutive shutout quarters in their five league games. Safety Richard Y ' Barra explained, The reason we were champions was because everyone would stick to- gether. During the team ' s two-to- three hour practices a week, they tried to eliminate mental mistakes that might have led to fumbles, intercep- tions, and bad snaps. One of Coach Rungo ' s famous philosophies was, No mental mistakes equals victory. How- ever, when a mistake was made, it didn ' t seem to shatter their confi- dence. John Buie joked, When we were beating a team really bad, ev- erything would work, even the wrong plays. Leaping high with outstretched arms.

- FfOS 7 ■ Plays the Field Studious, easy to coach, and hard working, were words Coach Mark McPherson used to describe the fresh- men football team. The team mem- bers were very supportive of each other and they really stick together. This togetherness developed early in August when practices sometimes lastea longer than three hours. The team worked on offensive ana aefen- sive plays, along with the individual skills ana weight lifting. By the end of the 3-7 season, they had reached their goal of being able to block and tack- le. We all triea hara and we enjoyed playing as a team, commented line- backer Fred Burkholder I was very happy teaching this group of kids. They were the best I ' ve coachea in my whole life . . . they are at the top of my list, commented Coach McPherson. With a clear field.
