Competition ... Freshmen Repeat As City Champs (continued from p. 51) The 1984-85 freshmen repeat- ed their title as city charrps. The team had an excellent sea- son with fifty five outstanding players who showed their skill and dedication with their winning sea- son. They finished strong with a five win, two losses, and one tie overall record. Although the young Mustangs lost the first two games of their season, they battled back and won six straight and tied one to succeed in becoming co-city champs for the second year. During the game against Powell, Chris Shaw caught a touchdown pass before the half to change the momentum of the game which led to a 15-0 victory. This tied them with Carson as city champs. Along with Chris Shaw, Josh Ar- nold, Steve Holmes, and Derek Zellner contributed to the success of the team. However, Coach Mi- lanes stressed that the entire team were al Champions in the making.

Competition . . . Mario Vasquez (11), of the junior team, surveys his offensive line before re- ceiving the ball from Todd Kemp (69). (Continued from p. 48D.) This brought the Mustangs to face the must-win game against Tempe High. Losing to Tempe knocked Dobson out of the playoffs, but through all the obstacles the varsity team en- countered this year, the players gained the knowledge to be a successful team. The blue and silver team, made up of sophomores and juniors, was held together by dedication, enthusiasm and a great desire to win. The Jackrabbits defense watches over the Mustangs as they snap the ball. Coach Downing commented that this years team had a more positive attitude, and every time they stepped out on the field they went out to win. This great desire to win was shown when the blue and silver team defeated Chandler at home with a score of 33-14. Coach Downing said Each member of the team had a per- sonality that was fun to be around. Not only did we succeed in foot- ball, but we also established some great friendships with one another which contributed to our winning season. (Continued on p.52) varsity.
