p UTTING IT ALL TOGETHER The varsity football team played in the Astrodome. They were district and bi-districr champions, olong with oreo-finalists. It wasn ' t luck that took the team that for . . . it was experience... experience from play- ing on a freshman, sophomore and or junior varsity team. The J.V. ream, with o 5-4-1 record, begon the season with only 14 players. Consequently, the football coaches decid- ed to merge the J.V and sophomore teams to form a group of 46 players. It took three gomes for the juniors to oc- cept the sophomores, and vice verso. At first it didn ' t go. But when we beat Memorial, we storted to be one- team — it really mode a difference, 1M Wells said. Because of the confusion of the merge, Cooches James McNiel and Tom McDride decided not to take statistics since they hod olreody missed three gomes Although no statistics were recorded, it was o good year running, McNeil sold One of the triumphs of the season was the lost J.V. gome ogoinst Stratford. It mode me feel better that we beat them this year, Jeff Goodwin said The kids or the end of the yeor were a real fine foot- ball team, McNiel said. The freshman teams learned the essen- tials of high school football under the coaching of Britt Wilmeth, Allen Lewis ond Tom Honlin. The A-teom, with a record of 1-9, improv- ed OS the year progressed. Towards the end of the year we Improved drastically, Kris Osborne said. The highlight of the season was their victory over Westchester, the first-place teom in district. Coach Wilmeth told them that they weren ' t bet- ter than that team (Westchester), but that they outplayed them at that gome, trainer Kim Sontono said. The B-teom held o record of 4-6, but the four wins were forfeits by Northbrook, Spring Branch, Westchester and Stratford. Of all the gomes, Aldine was the hardest. They hod the biggest people, Kevin Er- furdt said. All in all, the underclassman football ployers showed potential for becoming future members of the varsity team. We hod good potentiol, but we just didn ' t get it together on the field, Chuck Griffin sold. BY MICHELLE RIDDELL t i ?. .. iu . In the Open.
