INJURY PLAGUES PLAYERS BREAKING in a new coach was easier than expected. Of course, there wasn't that much time to get to know the new coach, Dennis Ice DRILLING on the fact that an athlete should l?e self disciplined. Coach Ice had his first victory in less than a month after the first practice. Calling it our best game of the sea- son,” the Eagles em- barrassed the Shenan- doah Raiders, 33-6. Ice’s men out hit, out ran and out raided the Raiders the entire game. HOWEVER, things weren't to be that easy the rest of the season. Mr. Injury stepped into the picture and the team just wasn't to be 100% the rest of the season. PROBABLY the biggest blow came early in the third quarter of the Mount Vernon game when Richard Howells was injured and taken to the hospital, one of the players stated. THE Eagles did achieve , their goal by finishing fourth in the White River Conference. f FOOTBALL: ROW 1- Ralph Marcum, Wayne Masters, Richard Howells, Mark Alex- ander, Greg Mahoney, Greg Pipes, Larry VanBriggle.

RESERVE OUT RUNS VARSITY THE Varsity Cross Coun- try team, coached by Mr. Phil Davis, finished the season with a 7 win and 7 loss record. A major change for the cross country runners to adjust to was the trans- fer of home meet sights. The contests were for- merly held on the high school track, but were scheduled this year in the Alexander Addition north of Frankton. ALTHOUGH having prac- ticed since the end of July, the team lost to Highland in their first meet of the season. But nevertheless, they came back and defeated 4 of their next 5 opponents by margins as high as 54 points. In the WRG meet, the Eagles placed 5th out of the 6 schools that com- peted. THE reserve team ended with a record of 10 wins and 4 losses. FHS Highland 20 36 Dunkirk 52 17 Albany 71 Shenandoah 19 55 Mt.

THE 1972-73 grid season began and ended on a vic- torious note, but the games in between were somewhat disappointing to Eagle fans. THE season opened with a victory over Shenan- doah, 33 to 6. Dropping to a 1 win and 3 loss record, the fighting Eagles went into the Homecoming game against Park Tudor. The ways of the Eagles didn’t change as they were de- feated 14 to 8. The last game of the season was against Pendleton Heights, a White River Conference foe. The Eagles put up a fight and came out on top, 6 to 0. THE season ended with a record of 2 wins and 7 losses, and a WRC record of 2 wins and 3 losses. A: Its a mad race for the Tigers and the Eagles to get the fumble ball under control!. B: Unsure of the play on the field, Larry Van- Briggie, Ron Qualls and Wayne Masters watch in vain as the Eagle; go down in defeat to the Park Tudor Tigers during the homecom- ing game. E: As Richard Howells heads for the goal line, Ralph Marcum attempts to block the Tigers giving Richard a clear path. Student Life-13
