Freshmen Learn Basic Skills Hill Stresses Concept By: Alicia Solis and Elizabeth Zutell This year's team worked real well to- gether, and that's a key to a successful season, said David Hill, the junior varsity football coach. The team's record was 6-2. The players are hardworking and have a great desire to win. They play very well as a team. I receive total commitment from all the players, which enables them to over- come any odds, stated Coach Hill. Coach Hill, 5-year coach says, I played football during high school and enjoy the sport. I also enjoy the opportunity to work with young men and women. I like the satisfaction of being able to have a good positive influence on the players, I come in contact with. I get along with the team real good, we have a mutual respect for one another. I feel academics are very important, and that a football player needs to do well N. . H in the classroom because it will definitely carry over on the football field. If we can pick up a couple of key players, I feel we can have an even better season than this year, commented Coach Hill. The most important reason for having a freshmen football team is too teach the players the important, basic skills of high school football. Bob Trout, this years coach, did exactly that. They were taught everything, now they have to execute, stated Trout. One of the biggest problems of the team was their lack of size, they were out- weighed by every opposing team. But their speed was an advantage. The year was successful in terms of the turnout of play- ers. Thirty-three boys learned football and what it takes. In a few more years of foot- ball and some weight gaining, the team should turnout to be good varsity players. Above: Tim Richmond shows his excitement after scoding against Carl Ha yeden.
