Cougars win again with experience To have an excellent season and make the playoffs is one of our goals, stated Coach Virg Stan early in the season. And the Sahuaro Varsity football team seemed capable of just that. Twenty-five lettermen, eleven of them starters, returned from last year's squad. A strong corps of receivers and running backs, led by Skip Peete and Scott McMurrey, helped offset an inexperienced interior offensive line. The defensive line was also young but more seasoned linebackers, defensive backs and ends helped make up for it. However, don't get the idea that the team didn't work hard. During the season, the squad practiced thirteen to fifteen hours each week. Every facet of the offense, defense, and kicking game was stressed. In addition, each opponents' strengths and weaknesses were examined. This was crucial as the Cougars were competing in the new Northern Division of the AAA-South. League games included a surprisingly tough Salpointe team and CDO, Amphi, and Sabino in the last three weeks of the season. Sahuaro also went up against Sunnyside in their toughest non- league game. 66 SPORTS
