VARSITY FOOTBALL I have never had so many talented players before.” Tom Smythe All-State players Kevin Auxier and Randy Martin led the Lakeridge Pacer varsity football team to the.Wilco League championship. Coach Tom Smythe wanted to make special comment on the entire team. The Pacers had eight players named to the first league team offense and four players All-League defense — not to mention the two All-State players. The team had an undefeated league record of 8-0-1 but ended the season with a record of 8-1-1 because of their loss to Roseburg in the quarterfinals of the state playoff. Probably the most exciting game of the season was against Centennial for the Wilco League title. Centennial was the team that represented the Columbia Division. There was a four-way tie and Columbia won the coin toss. The Pacers blitzed the Eagles 39-0 to gain the title. The Pacers broke three records and tied one in individual statistics for a season at Lake- ridge. Ed Culp broke the reception yardage with 760 yards. Kevin Auxier broke the inter- ception return record with 86 yards, and Pete O’Brien made the longest field goal with a kick of 48 yards. John Evans tied a school record by throwing 14 touchdown passes. 1 — Jon Evans hands-off to Wayne Lightburne in the game against Centennial. 2 — Kevin Monroe watches the game from sidelines. 3—Jon Evans gets ready to throw a pass for the Pacers. 3 16 VARSITY FOOTBALL

JV FROSH FOOTBALL 'This team was excellent in its adjustment to new personnel week after week. Jerry Grossen Tlie JV team had some outstanding players, which contributed to a successful season. Some of them were Tim Nacrelli, Craig Mit- chell, John Leahy, Tony McQuary, Mike Britsch, and Charlie Burke, who as an excel- lent defense starter was injured in a practice scrimmage. The season was a 6-1-1. Milwaukie account- ed for the Pacers’ only tie, as penalties spoiled their many scoring attempts. Tigard was the toughest game, with the score of 8-0, which broke the undefeated record for the JV team. The main fault was that the team was not emotionally ready. Winding up the good season, the Pacers played Centennial with the score at half-time 28-7 and at the end of the fourth quarter 42-7! The freshman football team had an out- standing year with a perfect record of 7-0. They outscored their opponents 253-41. Coach Sanders commented on the outstanding defense, which contained the Pacers’ oppo- nents. Only nine touchdowns were scored against the freshman team. This is the second undefeated season in seven years for the 1st year Pacers. The offensive unit had few major weak- nesses. The running game, with a variety of power sweeps and quick openers, dominated the league’s other teams. The toughest team the Pacer frosh faced was the second game of the year, against Twality Junior High of Tigard. We won with a blocked punt that was picked up and run in for the only touchdown and a 6-0 win. 1 - FROSH FOOTBALL.
