Tough year for Panthers According to Coach Randy Grenier, the Varsity Football team had one of their toughest schedules in recent memory.” The team posted a 2-5-1 season, beating Penn Yan and Pal-Mac and tying Mynderse. In the Homecoming win over the Mustangs, Geneva scored the first points on a 17-yard touchdown run by Peter Antinelli to lead 7-0. The game was tied 7-7 when James Truley returned a kickoff 89 yards for the go-ahead touchdown. Geneva scored an insurance touchdown when Steve Cataline scored from three yards out. The other victory the Panthers had was over a vastly improved Pal-Mac team, 13-7. Geneva scored on a 2-yard touchdown run by Cataline and a 10-yard pass from Tony Cunningham to Rick Hemingway. In this game the defense was at its best, intercepting twice, once in the final minute, and holding Pal-Mac to only 153 yards of total offense. Leading the defense in ’87 were Jayson Post, Lee Collins, Jimmie Wilson, Bill Palmer, and Matt Sindoni. Contributing to the offense were Ron Constable and Mark Cowles. — John D'Agostino For this year, to be a Varsity Football cheerleader, you had to be at least a sophomore Paul Goodman ('88) 28 Varsity Football

One of the most difficult defensive maneuvers is blocking a punt. Against Pal-Mac, Nestor Ontz blocked one and ran for a 60-yd. score. Ortiz had another in the 19-14 win over Wilson.
