A perfect combination of speed and power, Mike Smaldone uses the former to gain yardage on Hammond. An alternate between Frosh and J.V., Art Griffin calls the signals against Fort Hunt. On a counterplay, Wingback John Murphy gains seven yards and a first down against Fort Hunt. The defense, led by Scott Cooley (52), Dave Nisivoccis (34) and Jell Urbany sticks this Hammond runner in his tracks. As the team is rejoicing, Coach Bruno congratulates Coach Sengstack on a last second touchdown play. Offensive and defensive inconsistency took away four victories for the Freshman Purple team as they finished the year 1-3-2. The offense and defense didn’t seem to be able to play together, as the offense fumbled away scoring opportunities and the defense just could not tighten down. An exception was in their victory over Fort Hunt in which the defense had four turnovers and the offense twice broke ties. In other games, the offense, with a desire to come back, featured a high powered running game. The defense intercepted many passes and recovered many fumbles but were susceptible to the big play. Tailback Mike Smaldone led the offense with over 100 yards a game rushing and Linebacker Scott Cooley led the team in tackles. Fall Sports 117

The Freshman Gold Team got off to a slow start but strengthened their playing as they gained experience, winning 2 of the last 3 games and finished the season 2-2-1. Playing other B teams, the Gold Team sported a tough defense, relinquishing almost nothing up the middle. The offense came on at the end of the year and with the return of some injured players, the team scored a 20-6 victory against West Springfield.
