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.

JV Muskrats Display Potential Twenty-four Muskrats took to the field on this year’s JV squad. After the first two games, they began to work as a unit, becoming more competitive, ending the season 4-5. Coached by Mr. Shafer and Mr. Craven, the team had a strong defense and passing attack. Bill Kemp, Quarterback, Ken Toth, End, Shawn Gough, Guard, Jeff Moran, Linebacker, and Pete Daniels, Fullback, helped lead this team to strength as a unit. Next year, we’ll be great, even to a state championship. We have a great offense and defense.” (Ken Toth) Offense and defense were good, but tight ends were best.” (Jeff Kodet) l.
