Varsity Tackles Tough Season Competing in a strong league provided many challenges for the varsity football team. As hard as they tried, they experienced frustration. New Haven and Imlay City provided winning situations. The Imlay City game was Homecoming, which Algonac hasn’t won in over 5 years. According to Mr. Schlaack, coach, Defense was our strong point, but we had too many problems, including many injuries, poor practice conditions and not enough locker space. The only time team spirit was good was when they thought they were winning.” We had enough talent, good coaches, but we didn’t take advantage of it.” (Jay Martin) We had enough talent, but we had too many bad breaks.” ( Ken Southard) Five players were elected to the All League team. They were: Russ Witherspoon, Ron Grosso, Frank Zelenock, Tom Marchin, and Kevin Rausch. 2. l. AHS 0 • Royal Oak Shrine 35 AHS 12 • P. H.
