JV ' S FINISH 5-4 A Satisfying Season The Linden junior varsity football team had a rewarding season with a metro league record of 5-3 and an overall record of 5-4. They started out their season with a loss to Ox- ford 35 to 12. They didn ' t let that get them down, though, coming back in the next game against Lakeville with a score of Linden 9, Lakeville 0. One of the highlights of the season was the game against Holly. Holly started the game with a 7-0 lead, but Linden soon changed that when Mike Coliard ran thirty-eight yards for a touchdown. After that the Eagles really picked up steam. Eventually they won the game, 26 to 7. The one big disappointment for the team was the last game of the season against Mt. Mor- ris. The final score was Mt. Morris 26, Linden 0. Assistant coach Scott Draper felt that It was a tough loss. Despite this the team felt very upbeat about the entire season. In fact, they felt it was one of the best overall seasons they have had in years. In all, they had a very respectable season, and they are confident of doing even better next year. The players all felt they began to build something that will carry over to the Varsity level next year. AWARDS M.I. P. — Russ Ciesielski M.V.L. — Mike Coliard M.
