The following Friday, the Cougars took on the highly regarded Salpointe Lan- cers in a game marked by excellent de- fense. There was no score until midway in the third quarter when Troy Reimer kicked a 24-yard field goal, the first in fSahuaro's history. The Lancers then scored later in the same quarter making the final score a disheartening 6-3. Sunnyside was the next opponent. The Cougar offense exploded for 13 points in the second quarter to carry a 13-12 lead at halftime. Again Sahuaro's de- fense proved tough as they allowed no points in the second half to wrap up their first win of the season 13-12. The next Friday, the Cougars made it two in a row with a 14-6 'home' victory over Pueblo. The defensive secondary picked off four Pueblo aerials and Char- lie Elledge returned one for 55 yards for a score to ice the game. The return broke another Sahuaro record. Rincon stadium was the setting for the next game against the winless Rangers. The Cougar offense racked up 28 points in its finest effort of the season. The defense, however, gave up 41 points to the hungry Rangers making the final score 41-26. Sahuaro traveled to Douglas on the 29th of October. Sophomore fullback Bobby Ferber rushed for a touchdown and two extra points. Quarterback Randy Boughton later rushed for a five- yard score to lead the Cougars to a 16-6 victory. Combined Spirit and Homecoming ac- tivities came to an end in a game with the Amphi Panthers. The 'Homecoming' game was played at Palo Verde stadium as the Panthers played the spoilers role by trouncing the Cougars 42-28. The final game of the season was played against Tucson High at Rincon stadium. Sahuaro scored first on a ten-yard run by Troy Reimer. The Cougars were not able to contain Tucson High's devas- tating offense as the number one team in the state ran over Sahuaro 47-6. The Cougars ended up with 3 wins and 6 losses. They won one more game than in their two previous years. The var- sity was led by co-captains Richard Go- lub and Randy Boughton. The Cougars had a few members picked for all-city.

Cougars got revenge for their only defeat last year, but lost the final game to ruin an undefeated season. After avenging a loss to Pueblo last year, the J.V.'s dropped their final game to Tucson High. Many new plays and formations were used in an offense that averaged 36 points a game. This offense helped the J.V.'s capture the mythical city crown for the first time in Sahuaro's football history. We accomplished the purpose of pre- paring players for next year's varsity, noted Ray Comstock, the J.V. coach. We weren't that far from an 8-1 sea- son, Coach Billy Lopez reflected. We lost only one game badly. The other two losses were extremely close. We had a good defense but our offense had trouble getting started. In the Salpointe and Douglas games, the frosh had to come from behind in the second half to tie the score. In the Pueblo game, failure to make the extra points spelled an 8-6 defeat. The final record was four wins, three llosses, and two ties. It was the second year in a row the freshmen had man- aged a winning record. SPORTS 119
