I l Freshmen practice as Coach Len Romero looks on. FGCJTBALL The desire to excel was apparent in the freshman football team. Led by Larry Escalson and Clayton Tucker, the frosh started off by winning two of the first three games. Head Coach Len Romero stressed that the offense was slightly stronger than the defense, but They're all pretty good ball players. He commented that to play football, an athlete doesnit have to be big to play foot- ball, but must have the desire to excel. If that desire is present, the player's skill level would improve with every game. Romero stated that at the beginning of the season, the boys worked well together as a team during practices, but tended to be- come individuals when playing a game. This was all expected, and corrected later in the year. Brian Miller I enjoy playing football.

Risin' p to the Challenge of uf ivai Pom Line These were the words from The Eye of the Tiger, a number one single by the group Survivor. Symbolizing success, this theme song from Rocky III seemed to illustrate the attitude of the pom line. Rated as one of the top in the state, the team, nicknamed pommies,', captured various awards at the summer workshop. This was held during the month of July at Northern Arizona University. Winning the f'Home Routinei' award, these athletes competed against more than fifty rival teams state wide. Other honors included qualifying for the talent night competition, which they were almost eliminated from. Some late night rowdiness involving both the line and their sponsor, Mrs. Pam Turner, included a shav- ing cream fight in their dorm. Additionally, the girls won a superior tro- phy, and over thirty individual ribbons. Most of these were of the highest rating, that of superior. Pom was the best thing that could have happened to me during my senior year. I met a lot of new people and got more involved in Saguaro, said Betsy Wen- dell.
