like football, and this season, the In- dians managed to put it all together. Coach Walker and his staff worked long and hard, pushing their team to be one that the school could be proud of. Even at dark on weeknights, all of the boys could be found either in the weight room or on the baseball field going over plays time and time again. Most people said that they were crazy, but it all paid off for them on Friday nights. As Coach Walker has said, his goals for 1984 were to achieve the best record in the school ' s history and make it to the state playoffs. This year. Walker was true to his word, and our hats go off to him for his success and to the team. Battle In the trenches FOOTBALL 53

Indians bust through for first home game The 1984 Pinson Valley football team was far and away the best In the history of this school. Coach Ken Walker ' s squad compiled a record of 8-2 and took his team to Jacksonville for the state playoffs, marking the first time the In- dians had ever reached post-season play. A look at some of the statistics give just a brief look at why the Valley was so suc- cessful; a total average of 259 yards a game, more than 206 in rushing yardage alone. Todd Graves had 404 yards re- Backbusters perform for crowd Waldrop puts on a move to set up a touchdown ceiving with an incredible 25.25 yards per game average. The In- dians also outscored their op- ponents with 174 points to 1 10. The offense was not the whole reason for the success of Pinson Valley, however. The defense also played superbly game after game. Led by Roddy Mitchell, Craig Tidwell, Greg Williams, Tim Johns, and Wes Justice, the Indians were tough up the middle and most op- ponents found it difficult to find an opening in the line to run through. On pass coverage, Pinson was also outstanding. Chuck Brand, Greg Barnett, David Ball and Chris Steeley were the backfield anchors, playing with an aggressive style of pass defense which made it easier on the linemen to catch opposing quarterbacks. These two sides of the line combined with a fine special teams squad to help make the In- dians the team that they were. Steve Patrick had 177 yards in kickoff returns, followed by Ronny King with 105. Todd Graves did most of the punting for the team and averaged over 37 yards a kick, with a long boot of 68 yards. Bobby Ferrante held the place kicking duties and connected on 14 extra points. As Pinson proved this year, it takes a team effort to win at a team sport 52 FOOTBALL
