POWER PLAY The Cedars exploded into the Lancas- ter-Lebanon League powered by a very experienced team, consisting of sixteen returning lettermen, and a new head coach, lohn Coles. Coach Coles aban- doned the wishbone offense for the power 1, which brought the team great success. The team compiled their first winning season since 1974 with an overall record of 6-3-1. The team also captured second place in the Lancaster-Lebanon League with a record of 4-2-1. Among the Cedar victories was a sur- prising upset over cross-town rival Cedar Crest. The Falcons were ranked eighth in the state when the Cedars handed them their first loss with a score of 15-9. An- other surprising upset was the Cedars defeating Lancaster McCaskey 12-7, The Red Tornados were ranked thirteenth in the state when they clashed with the Cedars. The Cedars provided a very ex- citing game as they held the Red Torna- dos four straight downs when they were one yard away from the goal line. The Cedar defense proved itself time and time again by giving up an average of a meager five points per game. The Cedars lose twenty-five seniors to graduation, twenty-three of whom were varsity lettermen. Nine of these players made up the first offensive unit, and ten made up the first defensive unit. The Cedars look forward to six returning lettermen for the 1982 season. LHS OPP Milton Hershey 0 7 Muhlenberg 24 0 Bethlehem Cath. 15 14 Cedar Crest 15 14 Gov.
