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

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.

RAINY NIGHT BRINGS DEFEAT THE excitement of home- coming brought activities such as pep sessions, hard football practices, working on floats for each class and not knowing about any other float, only their own. On October 5, night before homecoming was a pep rally in the school parking lot. This included such activities as a bonfire, hot dogs and cake for hungry spiritsters, a rousing speech by Coach Ice and the burning of a Panther as a sign of a victory for the Eagles. THEN came the Snake Dance where the football guys were trying to have their fun before the big game the next night. All the guys jumped on the firetruck while the foot- ball cheerleaders and fans followed behind building up the boys' con- fidence, yelling and cheering them on. With all the frustration and ex- citement, the big night came where FHS met the Park Tudor Panthers at 7:30. The weather was rainy but the mighty Eagles kept on. A: Diane Roland stands proudly as Mark Alexander crowns her Homecoming Queen 1972. B: Prepared for and undiscouraged by the chilly rain, Eagle fans stick by to support their team. C: The opponents close behind, Senior Mark Alexander strives to beat the speedy Panthers to the catch. D: Sophomore cheer- leader, Sue Neese, roots on her team at the Homecoming bon- fire-pep rally, a new concept of spirit raising at F. H. S. E: Sopho- more Jerry Sheward portrays a victory-hungry Eagle, craving for a Pink Panther Flakes breakfast. 14-Student Life
