SPIRITED MUUNT TAHUMA FUUTBALLER5 The l964-65 Varsity Football Team The T-Birds, under the leadership ot Coach Gregg Friberg, opened their season With an impressive victory over the East Bremerton Knights. Despite their tinal record ot two wins and six losses, the Thunderbirds played deter- mined tootball. Lead by experience in the line and tine support from an impressive group ot sophomores, the TfBirds posed as a threat to all their opponents. lnjuries to the experienced players and an excedingly tough schedule, ine cluding three stateerated teams, kept the T-Birds from attaining an outstanding record. The highlight ot the season came in the final game Where an inspired defense held the Bellarmine Lions to no tirst downs and only twelve net total yards in a 6 to O win tor our TeBirds.
