Bulldogs miss by one Varsity football started on a frustrating note. With three straight losses, it looked like there was no hope of getting into the playoffs. However, two wins soon turned this frustration into optimism. Then came the loss to South Albany. Playoff hopes were like an out of reach dream with two wins and four losses. A big turn around occured with the final three games coming under the win column. By the last game there were four teams tied for fourth place. The chips would have to fall the right way in order to get into the playoffs. Everything looked like it was going the right way after the Bulldogs clubbed North Salem, beat Corvallis and advanced to the playoffs. There were a lot of bright spots in the ’81 football season. Kevin Podrabsky rushed for a season record of 1,430 yards. Murray Sim, Jerry Coe, Kevin Podrabsky, David Lindley, Kendall Wood, and David Quevedo all made first team All League. Rick Boyer and David Lindley made second team. 10 other players made honorable mention. Coach Roger Dasch gives Murray Sim encouraging advice during the North Salem game.
