V'- Varsity 'ribs' eat bad odds and knees and wrist and Through injury and insult, the Varsity football team fought, won and succeeded in coming as close as six points of being a part of the EBAL Championship, losing it in the final, deciding game to San Ramon by a disheartening score of 29 to 23. The Dons, racked with injury upon injury, Were considered by experts to never get past their first game, after a stomping loss to Dublin. But behind substituting quarterbacks Pat O'Brien and Ray Werner, the team past it, and then some, as their next three games were winners. This brought Amador up even with Dublin in a tie for first. With the title resting on the defeat of San Ramonis tough defence and swift offense, the Varsity Dons gave the Wolves the best fight theyive had from Amador in two years. Unfortunately, penalties and turnovers hurt the Dons and forced them to settle for second place in the EBAL League. Disappointed, the Varsity football team still smiled, for they had proved the experts Wrong and proved themselves a team of strong determination and effort.
