Soph's strive to improve Improvement was the key to this year's sophomore football team, as they strived to improve with each week of turnouts and games. The team found difficulty adjusting to their new wishbone style offense as it was full of deception and trickery. By learning it now, however, it will help them in the years to come, as it was the same offense that the varsity squad used. Once the team became adept at their offense, the defense came together and they began to make advances, The team's record Q3 wins and 6 lossesj is not the main purpose as soph- omores, but working to improve for the future is the most im- portant goal, stated Coaches Hoiby and james. The team came on strong towards the end of the season, as they recog- nized the importance of working together. There was an abundance of individual talent on the team but things such as attitude problems held a few members from reaching their potential. Some of the team members received individual awards such as Best Lineman, who was jim Smith. Chris Belford, who started later in the season, was named Best Back. The most Coachable award was shared by Chuck Schnieder and Tall Malysheff. Others expected to contribute to Marauder football in the future were Chris Norman, jeff Leary, and Bart Ransom. Coach james also felt that with more hard work and dedication in the future, many players will be valuable additions to Mariner football in the years to come.

J .V. breaks even The junior Varsity football team started off their season with a 14-12 win over Snohomish. An outstanding kickoff return of 85 yards and a touchdown by Scott Roden helped to make it two straight wins after defeating Everett 18-6. The winning streak was ended after losses to Oak Harbor, Lynnwood, Ed- monds and Cascade. Fine passing by Gene Wilson and an out- standing effort by linebacker Tim Smith helped the Marauders win over Marysville-Pilchuck with a score of 16-12. The last game of the season, the Marauders set out to beat Woodway in a very wet and rainy game. Mark Hawlett recovered two fumbles to set up the Marauders for two touchdowns scored by Dale Elder. Coach Alinen feels the l.V. team showed a lot of promise for next year's Varsity team. They showed much enthusiasm and spirit while turning out and during games.

Freshman Football Best Yet The freshman football team chalked up a 5 win 1 loss record including a big win over the Snohomish Panthers. A strong de- fense along with a potent offense led the Marauders to the best record ever by a freshman team. The many talented indi- viduals worked very well as a team. The offense was led by quarterback RJ. McKinna, running backs Dave Martin and Scott Kummer. The backfield reached their peak in a game against Shorecrest, having each member score at least one touchdown. The defense also made many major contributions, standouts being Dave Martin, Scott Ku- mmer, Kelly Schuster, Shawn Henry, and Darrin Porter. This year's freshman team could carry Mariner far in the fu- ture. They were a group of hard workers that led to the state- ment by Coach Reynauld, the freshmen realize the com- mitment that goes along with sports.
