 .V. Freshmen Gridders Have Mixed Success Even though the junior varsity didn’t have a winning season like they have had in the past, they still gained valu-able experience. The Bulldogs finished with a 2-5 record and were most impressive in their wins over Chadron and Mitchell. The high point of this year’s Alliance High football program was the freshmen team. After losing their first game of the season, they tallied six wins in a row, including a big win over Western Conference rival Gering, 2-0. Their season was full of excitement with many games going down to the final minutes, before A.H.S. pulled through with the win. After a season that was considered average at Alliance High, the freshmen, junior varsity, and varsity teams compiled a 12-10 record, which is better than many other schools in the area. The school and city of Alliance should be proud of the fine efforts put forth by its football teams. Inson Rand celebrates after scoring one of his touchdowns during the Bulldogs 6-1 season.

Learning and Growing Bill Boness, who was injured for pari of the season, congratulates his backfieid teammate T.J. Marx after a great performance against the Mitchell Tigers. This year was not what we expected, but the ’Dogs’ will be back,” said Coach Skip OJds after a disappointing Bulldog football season. They had hoped to follow their '85-86' season with another state playoff berth, but hindered by injuries and disciplinary problems, they ended the season with a 4-4 record. Even though the Bulldogs finished with a .500 record, they outscored their opponents 138-81 and their four losses came to a combined total of 27 points. Mike Schnell was voted Mr. Bulldog ”86, the highest honor for a Bulldog gridder. He was aiso joined by Tate Adams and Shawn Allen on the All-Conference team. Bill Boness, T.f. Marx, Tim Weston, and Charlie Krantz were voted honorable mention. Coach Olds called this a season of growing and learning,” and hopes that the experience gained by many underclassmen will propel Alliance High back to the top. ferrold Neal lowers his head and sprints up the sideline after a punt by the Sidney Red Raiders.
