Sophs flex muscles, have good season The sophomore football team had an excellent season. Though they finished the season with a losing record, they were striving hard in every game to the very end. The team was coached by Mr. Rick Powell, head coach, and Mr. Dave Frost, assistant. The coaches felt that the kids learned a lot this season. They never gave up, was one of the comments made by Assistant Coach Frost. Coach Frost felt that the team ' s best game was against the North Polar Bears. The offensive players had their best game of the year, and our defense also played well, commented Coach Frost. Coach Frost felt that the most dif- ficult game of the year was against the Valley Tigers. The offense committed too many mistakes, and the Valley offense took advantage of them, said Coach Frost. .7 ' Sophomore Jeff Cronin.

Andy Frosh come through with winning season A great season! That is how Coach Walt Kennedy described the freshman football season. This was the first time that a freshman team had placed so highly in the Metro Conference standing. Coach Kennedy felt that his play- ers gave 1 00 percent on the field and at practice. When Coach Kennedy was asked what he felt his team ' s best game was, he answered, the Dowling game. East won the game 34-6; it was the first time ever that a fresh- man team had beaten Dowling. Coach Kennedy felt that this victory gave his players more satisfaction than any other game. The freshman team ended the season with a 6-2 record, the best ever for a freshman team. Their two losses came against Hoover and Valley. This was Coach Kennedy ' s second year as head coach of the freshman team. He was assisted this year again by Mr. Mark Hurley. These two coaches did a fine job in bringing along these young men. McHugh, Kevin Burton ROW 4: Blaine Hudnall. Larry Rite. Bid Moore, Dave Osterquist. Chuck Bradley, Mike Strait. Steve Rawley.
