While North's run- oriented offense was charging past de- fenders for nearly 1,300 yards, the Comet defense held opposing teams to only 689 yards. This was one of the many factors that enabled this awesome junior varsity to achieve an outstanding 8-2 record. Another factor leading to success was offensive domination in total yardage and first downs. When opposing teams did get the ball, they were stopped on the ground and picked off ll times in Varsity Football ,nw Cmnelzs Leave ll111icr.'iI:i4r11f,gjjja Y In The lltl.'I:fEWi3i' the airways, by a determined Comet de- fense. Offensively, the Comets were led by the fine play of freshman quarterback War- ren Buck, who led the Comets through- out the season. Running back Jimmy Mitchel also played a key role, rushing for 580 yards and nine touchdowns. The defense was well taken care of by play- ers like John King and Richard Poe, King had 36 tackles while Poe had 31. The unifying force that brought out- standing individual and team play to- gether, was the coaching of Mr. Rick Harvick and Mr. Rod Stanley.
