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

' c r l S -V: • ■to • yW . T ’- ' —--- a Tennis is usually thought of as an individual sport, but our team members’ attitude was summed up in the statement, “the team comes before me. No matter what I did, it’s what the team did that counted.” This attitude was important since each depended on the other for support in playing against the new teams. The move into a different district brought in better opponents and tougher competition. The change was hard as we finished the season with 2 wins and 10 losses. Many of the matches came down to the wire with the Bruins losing only by a small margin. Like the Robinson match, we lost 5-4 after losing our last doubles match by a slim margin of 11-9. A new type of competition began this year. Instead of playing 5 singles and 4 doubles, 6 singles and 3 doubles were used. The girls who played singles could now play doubles too. With less girls needed for Varsity, a junior varsity team was started. The Junior Varsity Team, in unofficial matches, finished with a 8-3 record. A down-the-line shot by Audrey Perkins catches her West Springfield opponent off guard. Audrey proceeded to win 10-3.
