 Sh s Lake Braddock students spent their last days of vaca- tion relaxing, the Varsity Football Team spent five days at Juniata College in Hunington, Penn- sylvania. The team's vigorous schedule included three practices a day to prepare for the '83 season. The first game opened the season with a defeat for the spirited Bruins at the hands of the Annandale Atoms. However, this did not curtail them; the Bruins came back to prove their superiority as they crushed Groveton, 25-8. Many times throughout the rest of the season, the Varsity Football Team came very close to winning their games. Jeff Buser (84) attributed this to the fact that the team lacked consistency in execution. This was obvious at the Jefferson game when the team was ahead 21-0 during the third quarter but somehow lost, 28-29. Despite the loss, the team re- mained fired up” against Langley and proved their offensive attributes with an impressive score of 48-3. The team went into the game feeling over- whelmingly confident” said team cap- tain Pete Ward (77). Although the Homecoming game ended with a 13-14 loss, the team played tough throughout the entire confrontation. During the third quarter, the Bruins led 13-0, but unfortunately Bill Link (34), team cap- tain, dislocated his shoulder and was forced to leave the game. This accident caused him to be out the rest of the season. Because the team was unable to get its running game going, it was forced to pass the majority of the time. However, Bill Link (34) left the Fort Hunt game only after gaining over 100 yards. Nothing could compare with the Bruins defeat of their arch rivals, the West Springfield Spartans. The Spar- tans fell beneath the deadly Bruin clutch by 16-8. The season ended with a defensive pinnacle for the team. They shut out Oakton and left the field still fired up. David Guy (80) commented that the Bruins, not only the players but coaching staff also, were of quali- ty I have never seen in any other school.
