A key victory was their 14-0 win over Joplin. But the highlight of the season, as best described by freshman Greg Macchi, was tearing Glendale apart twice. The jayvee team was equally successful as the freshman team, ending their season with a 7-0 record JAYVEEXFRESHMAN FOOTBALL under the coaching of Mr. Kevin Byrne. Kickapoo was on the Falcons' 12-yard line when sophomore Jeff Wiley intercepted a pass and ran for a touchdown putting the Chiefs 6-0 over the Glendale Falcons. The jayvee has a good chance next year, but it will be more difficult because it is varsity, Coach Byrne said. jayvee's aim this year was to work toward playing on a varsity level. I think the team will go far next year because of the many returning lettermen that will show strong lead- ership, sophomore Matt Shurtz said. The jayvee team hopes to get lots of leadership from the returning let- termen and guide the '86 team to the state playoffs. The combination of the returning players and the jayvee team should be an exciting one to watch next year, sophomore Kevin Nimmo said.
