The 1977 Warrior Varsity football team, under the superb guidance of Coach John Brown, started off the season at a fast pace. The squad rated as one of the area’s best teams and finished in third place ina strong Colonial District; thus having set the best record Henrico has had in the past four years. A new field at Chappell Stadium and the introduction of the “Hustle Team” added enthusiasm to im- pressive home wins. Springing out to a great start with big wins over Meadowbrook and Lee-Davis, the ““Warrior Wishbone” was virtually unbeatable. With Junior Tom Bowles di- recting the attack and experienced Senior halfbacks, Dave Hollis and Randy Plum- mer leading the way, the offense showed great potential. A strong defense, led by co-captains, Steve Dowdy and Kevin Gibson blocked the opponents’ attack. A heartbreaking tie with Thomas Jefferson, played in the mud, dampened spirits, but was followed by a tremendous Homecom- ing win over George Wythe. After a fan- tastic pep-rally before the Hermitage game, the Warriors went on to play their best game, defeating the Panthers. The team suffered their only losses to High- land Springs and Douglas Freeman. Rounding off their schedule with seven wins, the Warriors finished a fine season. Hard work through the hot summer and satisfying practices strengthened the team’s unity and spirit throughout the season. After many years of football, the Seniors experienced a winning season in their final year on the Henrico Varsity football team. f Wallace Clark Quarterback Tom Bowles faces his Bruce Cox, Dave Hollis, and Steve opponent one-on-one.
