STRONG VARSHY Football TEAM Head Coach Tom Smythe brought the Lake- ridge Pacer football squad all the way from nothing to one of the most explosive teams in the Wilco League during his tirst year. ln a sense it was really amazing to see this first- year school sponsoring its first team. and a winning one at that. Seven times the Pacers taught their opposition not to take them lightly, some of those victor- ies coming against top-rated teams throughout the state. Jamie Putnam, a tall, lanky senior. commanded respect in the quarterback posi- tion, leading Lakeridge to several offensive re- cords. The passing game was complimented brilliantly by his running backs, 5'8 Ron Keil- ing and 6'1 Bob Cairns, who became one of the most devastating rushing duos in the league. The Pacers started out with a narrow, rather ragged victory over Hood River at home, but put skeptics in their places with an impressive offensive decision over highly-rated Putnam a couple of games twins! later. The only two setbacks in the nine-game schedule came at the hands of Oregon City and Clackamas. Probably the most electrifying and satisfying triumph came with that 7-O win over cross- town rival Lake Oswego, the only score com- ing late in the game on a 64 yard pass play from Putnam to stocky Bud Auvil. But the future is what really matters, and you can bet that Head Coach Tom Smythe and Assistant Coaches George Shull and John Fos- satti are looking forward to working with the Lakeridge Pacers for years to come.
