A Battle To The Finish The White Warriors ended with a 3-3 season, and they fought all the way. It started with a bang when they de- feated the Purple Vikings. The next week ' s defeat against West Valley brought bitter feelings from the players, but then things started look- ing up when they crushed Las Plu- mas and held Anderson back for two wins in a row. Unfortunately, they lost the last two games to Red Bluff and the Gold Panthers. Overall it was a great season, and the coaches expected as much from such a fast team with a strong defense. Coach Bill Asnicar said, I hope the team had as much fun as we did, and I ' m sure some of them will play junior varsity football next year. Each game they played was very ag- gressive. They worked as a team. We worked really hard and were en- thusiastic, said Scott Porter. Their play that was the most fun was a bounce pass where the quarterback, Brian Seamans, threw a bounce pass to Nick Greer, wingback, who ran the ball for about 20 yards before being tackled. Each and every player gave it their all to produce the power and strength needed in the games. It took teamwork and courage for the War- riors as it was A Battle to the Fin- ish. a1 ■ SCORES White 16 Purple White West Valley 12 White 14 Las Plumas 6 White 8 Anderson 6 White 14 Red Bluff- 22 White 6 Gold 20 118 White Football

Pushing For Victory Coaches, Mr. Lon McCasland and Mr. Frank Dewald, pushed their boys to win. With two hours of prac- ticing a day, three days a week, they finished the season with 2 victories and 5 loses. It hasn ' t been a great year for the team, but they gave a lot of effort. Mr. McCasland talked about his team, They did really well. If they could have put more out during the week, the games would have been ea- sier, but they never quit! Brian Rhodes, a player on the team, stated, We ' re not worked too hard, the coaches only expect us to do our best. Then he added, When we feel like giving up, our coaches are the ones who keep us going. As a specta- tor and cheerleader, Rita Suchanek said, They gave it their all, so it doesn ' t matter if they won or lost; their will-power made up for it. . . 83, 34 .22. .35. ' v, W 3e i a2 1.
