Varsity downs Cardinals to nab coveted ‘“‘Trophy’’ The 1978 varsity football team began the year with eight returning lettermen and hopes of upsetting the pre-season prediction that the Lancers would finish in last place. Their hopes were soon dashed, and the locals closed with a 1-8 record. Highlight of the year was the homecoming game against undefeated Lawndale. Smarting from league losses to Leuzinger and Aviation, a fired-up Lancer team took the field determined to recapture the coveted ‘‘Trophy.’’ A key interception by Jimenez, TD’s by Mitchell and Soria, and a 43-yard field goal by Jose Garcia shut out the Cardinals 17-0. Top honors went to Andre Brooks and Bret Gutman who were named to the All-League team. Defensive standout Jose Garcia led the team in tackles, and consistently strong performances by the defense kept the Lancers in many games. Coach Mark Jacobs, who was aided by Don Bohannon and Howard Williams, had this comment on the season: ‘‘Our fellows fought hard and never gave up. Wait until next year when 8 out of 11 starters return. Lennox will be back in ‘79.”’ 1. Ball carrier Curtis Washington looks for a place to Varsity Football 21
