Po wer Offense Boosts Junior Varsity Our offensive unit was the best ever at CHS. We passed for nearly I,w0 yards in 6 games and rushed for over 400 yards. The problem was that our defense was nearly as weak as our offense was strong. Coach Darrel White faced the prob- lems and credited the virtues of the .l.V. team. The team was strong yet talent needed for defensive measures was not there. They had the best talent in the league on offense as shown by Kirby Holtman who outpassed everyone in the league, totaling 87I yards. Morgan Simpson caught 8 touchdown passes. The whole team worked to- gether to strengthen their fortress. To prove they were good, they had to win, and win they did. They beat Wasilla, who ended their season tying for first. Wasilla was defeated only once and the honor goes to the Mustangs. Losses were attributed to their lacking defense against a passing offense. Gordon Kinder, howev- er, contributed his part to defense, by his 60 unassisted tackles and 30 assisted. Overall the Chugiak Mustangs' J.V. Football team was super. They performed to the best of their ability all season, exceeding those limits they thought unsurpassable. They put their best foot forward. commented a proud Coach White. ,Pl . .W Y' KJQQE- EVQZIQEZ ln 1 1 exif W , , 1 Q Junior Varsity Football Team.

Tom Lane was the top runner for the boys' varsity team. The most improved over last year were Colleen Peissig and Bill Gould. Coaches Andy Kirk and Renee Henry worked closely together to encourage and inspire the 196 . ,,.. team to top performances, despite Coach Henry's carrying of the youngest runner on the team. The athletes have shown a lot of improve- ments and competed well against teams from in town and also out of the region, commented Coach Henry. The team agreed the training and practices were fun because they spent overtime getting to know each other better, having team parties and picnics. Rewards came at the end of the season when seven girls and seven boys lettered at the annual cross country banquet. I if v .
