Teams Prevail Eligibility Curtail August 13, 1984 marked the beginning of the Junior Varsity football season: thirty-two boys tried out for the team. As the season progressed the number dwindled to eighteen. The new elibibility rules affected quite a few of the players, stated Co-Coach Bill Watkins about the dra- matic decrease in attendance. The aim of the J.V. program was to produce top level athletes, and develop a winning attitude to carry into var- sity competition. The group improved drastically in all areas according to Co-Coach Paul Brauneis, As the indi- vidual skills improved, so did their ability to play as a team. Chugiak ' s C-Team also experienced difficulty due to lack of eligible bodies, but they more than compensated with hard work. At the start of the season our offense was pretty ragged and our defense had a lot of holes in it, commented Coach Ed Loescher. But we finished the sea- son with an effective offense and a defense that was hard to move against, continued the Coach. Receiving the most valuable player award was Ron Wirth. He was the wheels of our offense and anchored the defense as hnebacker, voiced Mr. Loescher. The most improved player honor was awarded to Jerry Fullmer, who advanced from third string runningback to starting quarterback.
