Gridders “Go For It” season progressed the general good feeling of the team mem- bers was, we all tried our best and worked well as a team. Mistakes were made but more often than not the game wasn't jeopardized. In the Alta-Bingham game, the team learned that they had what it took to win; they came from behind to win 19 to 6. The Alta-Brighton was a flop. Brigh- ton had a new type of defense and beat Alta badly. But other games throughout the season showed the strengths and de- termination to win of the suc- cessful sophomores. The freshman team carried on the upper squads winning traditions, by posting the best season record of all the teams. We didn't score until four minutes left in the fourth quar- ter, and it was quite a lucky catch. Hardy threw from the 10 yad line to Handley, but the ball went through his hands and into Bush’s arms in the end zone. Since we didn’t know how to kick yet. we ran it in, commented John Collins about the AltaBrighton game, the freshmen team’s first. The freshmen football team continued playing tough, cohe- sive football for the remainder of the season. When asked about the team, Coach Massey replied, There is so much tal- ent and so many good people. It’s the best group I’ve ever worked with. The freshmen team proved Coach Massey right by winning every game they played. After receiving a pass. Chuck Cutler makes a run against West Jordan in a varsity home game.
