Marauder's A-squad football team began their 1970 season with an explosive win over Cherry Creek, beating them 21 to 17. This was the first year in Mitchell his- tory that the Fliers beat Cherry Creek. Nevertheless, the team had unfortunate luck for the balance of the season as numerous injuries plagued the squad. Mitchellls season record turned out to be live wins and five losses as head coach Mr. James Hartman and his assistants, Mr. Michal McDowell, Mr. Charles Stuart, and Mr. Charles Frankmore, toughened up the team. Leading the team, the coaches helped them to gain victories over Pueblo Centennial, Trinidad, Pueblo South, and Coronado. The victory over Trinidad was also a first for the A-squad. The linal standing in league was fifth place. r - - v 1 x Q 5 -Q-4 as-1 ,fa Attempting to put the ball through the uprights is junior Mike Kerin. l Speedster Brad Wall escapes tacklers and runs for crucial Senior Steve Campbell attempts to move Marauders with this run b

Devastating defense and potent oifense proved to be the key to the sophomores' highly successful season. Be- hind their coaches, Bob Belt and Gary Mitchell, the Marauders stormed into their season with every intention of capturing the tough S.C.L. number one spot. After two heartbreaking setbacks, the Marauders got on the winning track and won seven straight games. Also the team held their opposition to an average of only six points a game. This accomplishment was due to the strict, but basic training of the well-disciplined team. The coaches stated that all in all the team showed a lot of spirit and self- control, which should be helpful in the following years.
