Strive For Victory Giving 100070. That seemed to be the motto of this yearls Varsity football team. Each day the players were training in ei- ther the weight room, or were practicing on the football field. Five players made All4Conference this year. These people were Gary Burich , Scott Cornish, Steve Madden, Walt Schattinger, and Scott Sparks. This year's team proved to be quick and had the talent where they needed it. The coach, Mr. McGatlin, felt that this year's team's strength was their strong passing attack and their good running game. His advice to people thinking of trying out is, You have to work hard in the weight room each day. Green Moun- tain must create great players because we are a smaller school and we don't have as many kids trying out. It takes effort and dedication. The Varsity team made it to League play-offs this year, but lost to Pomona in the first round. Their final record was 4 wins and six losses. Green Mountain played such teams as Pomona, Arvada, Columbine, and Evergreen. Senior Scott Cornish felt that the game against Wheatridge was the most excit- ing, The offensive line was really good that game. We needed to win that game, and did. This year's team consisted of many ju- niors. Although none of them made All- Conference, next year's team should prove to be outstanding because of the experience they received this year. This year's Varsity football team was a good team. A better team potentially than in other years. With the experience gained this year, next yearfs team will be able to face any opponent, and maybe not win every game, but they will know that they played Green Mountain.

They Know How To Win! Let's hear it for the boys! The sopho- more football team showed more talent this year than in previous years. Their 9-1 record and winning the country cham- pionship proved this. The team lost their first game to Pomo- na, but won the remainder of their games, and went on to beat Pomona in the cham- pionship game. There was a steady im- provement made by the players through- out the entire season. Advice given by David Archuleta to people going out for football was to lift weights every day. The coach this year was Dave Hale. When asked what advice he would give the kids trying out for football he said, It's a great experience for them, and it has nothing to do with their size and abili- ty as much as it has to do with the size of their heart. Not only did the sophomore team man football team proved to be outstand- ing also. They went undefeated with one tied and only gave up six points the entire season. With Mr. White as the coach, it's no wonder. The players felt that Mr. White was a good coach and they learned a lot from him. He worked them hard and got them in shape so they were ready for the sea- son. He also knew how and when to get the team motivated for a game. The freshmen played such teams as North Arvada, Evergreen, Bear Creek, Ken Caryl, and Deer Creek. The scri- mage game against Oberon was the best and most exciting for Scott Paquette be- cause, lt was the first game that an op- ponent almost scored on us, and we stopped themf' Spirits were high among the players this season, and rightfully so.
