FOOTBALL: “AN EXPERIENCE” FOOTBALL, it's an experience. It's feeling tired, sick, and like quit- ting after the first couple practices. It's a time of frustration, pain, and glory all in one. It's forgetting every- thing but the game, doing your best and being satisfied with that. It's being part of a unit of athletes working to- gether toward a common goal: Victory. Before the football season started and after seeing what the players were doing in practice, Coach Dennis Ice thought that the varsity team could have a half and half season very easily. Even though many games were quite close, the team just couldn't pull out the extra points. Coach Ice stated that out of the eight games Frankton lost, in only two were the Eagles out- played. These were against Hamilton Heights and Wes-Del. Injuries plagued the team again this year. Resulting from hard and strenuous play came three concussions, one knee injury, and one back injury. Out of the total 81 points brought in throughout the season, Dan Fetty gained 24 points, and Mike Cooper followed up with 20. Co-Captains were Mark Coy and Steve Lawrence. At the fall sports awards presentation the following were announced: Steve Lawrence, Most Valuable Lineman; Mike Cooper, Most Valuable Back; and Ron Qualls, Most Valuable Player. Having a worse season than the varsity, the reserve squad turned out an 0-8 season. One of the major factors contributing to the defeats was the fact that there weren't enough players to have separate practices for varsity and reserve so the reserve players had little time together. Also, most of the better reserve players played in varsity games for one or two quarters and according to IHSAA rules a player is allowed to participate in only four quarters per week. This left little time for them to participate in reserve games. Inex- perience and a change of quarterbacks also added to the unimpressive season. Something appears to be humorous as Coaches Urban and Searle help Ron Qualls off the field during the Homecoming game.
