3 PCSDLUJCQJSIJ DDCUDWN 9 285162 Q This year's J.V. football team set out to duplicate' last years undefeated season. Coached by Larry Martin and Fulton J Gross, they finished the season with 5 wins t i E Y and 4 defeats. Each of their 5 victories were shutouts, and each loss was a hard fought battle with the outcome being very close. The defensive line was the strong point of the team. It consisted of tackles Mitchell Crawford and Steve Eisenbarth, ends John Smith, John Chandler and Paul Schutes, nose guard Brian Felty and linebackers John Saunders, Steve Tackish and Ricky Chab, They allowed only 44 points and contributed to many of the 98 points scored by Friendly. Other strong points were the three quar- terbacks Scott Lambert, Chris Hesen and Russ Fiorenza. Also the specialty teams worked well together all season long. Although this years J.V. team was not as successful as the varsity, they will pro- vide niuch talent to next years varsity's squad. l nous rue S gf - 't .gsij - L' ' ' K :mess ici Www , . N - r ' Fm.

Seniors at football camp: FRONT ROW: John Tuell, Paul Sedillo, Greg Scott, Rich Hetherington, Mark Williams, Kevin nf The 1.974 football season in P.G. County be'gan on Augus:t.l5. The football season for Friendly began 'on July 29 at Pine Lake Football Camp. Coach Crawford ran the camp and the maiority of the foot- ball squad attended. These summer work- outs may have been the difference between winning and losing the state title. After winning the league title, Friendly advanced into the Class A state semi- finals. The game was at Towson State Col- lege against Loch Raven. Ten busses and many cars, all filled with fans, went to Towson to watch Friendly demolish Loch Raven 42-0. The Patriots most important game of the season was held the next Sat- urday, against Northwood. The setting for the state championship game was Gaithersburg High School. The atmosphere was the same as the week before. Busses and cars were once again filled with fans hopeful of victory. The Patriots found themselves in a tight game, finishing the first half tied 7-7. The 22 sen- iors were about to play their final half of high school football. The speed and deter- mination which had carried them through the first l l games came through again, as Friendly won 26-14, becoming the first Class A state football champions. The long road to the state title that began in July had lasted four long months. Although the first days of camp.were painful, the state championship was worth it.

CQ! R105 S C5633 L03 Rl 'U FJ KEY FREN ZMRTTE FTLEASWRE J EEEEEEEEE EERE!EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE The Cross Country season this year produced mixed feelings in the Friendly team. The team not only withstood backbreaking workouts every day, but also the loss of key runners to iniury and academics, the morale letdown stemming from this loss, and constant disrespect from other cross country teams and coaches. Despite all this, the season was a valuable one to all mem- bers. The Friendly Cross Country team did well this year, winning the Dual Meet Championship for the second year in a row, and placing second in the County and ,District championships, and third in the State. The Varsity A team finished undefeated in Dual meet competition, and brought home a few trophies as well. The Varsity B and JV teams also went undefeated, the Varsity B team shutting out every team they ran against with perfect scores of I 5-50. The closely knit team, and the associ- ation between coach and team created an enioyable atmosphere that helped the team surmount its problems. - FZ., A f X. -ylxxg -, , t , 1 if . f 1. 5 1Hi??l Q. ill ..,.
