The outstanding player of the game was Drew Everett for his tough offensive line play. The Tide now knew what it was like to win and went on a long trip to play their arch rival Riverhead. Amityville was really psyched for this game and took a 16-0 lead. But Riverhead fought back and the game turned out to be the most exciting of the year as Amityville won 22-20 and gave Coach Neimi his first victory on the Riverhead field. The game captains were Rich Lloyd and Drew Everett. Jim Kretz was the outstanding player for his fine running throughout the entire game. Next came a very physical Bayport team. The Captains for this were Ronny Beverly and Chuck Fox. The first time Bayport had the ball they scored, but the Tide would not give in and fought back hard to win the game 14-8. Bob Monahan won outstanding player honors for his accurate passing. Going for their fourth straight victory the Tide took on William Floyd. After quickly falling behind, Amityville came back and won easily 34-6.

We all knew our comeback would mean nothing unless we won this game and the next. The captains for this big game were the three year men, Jim Kretz, Mark Homes, Drew Everett, Rick Lloyd and Jim Cheviot. Babylon was out for revenge from last years defeat. but they wouldn't get it this year. Behind the blocking of Eric Cella, Bob Ebner, Glenn Bozza and Bobby Cusick the Amityville running backs scored at will and the Tide trampled Babylon 34-6. Ted Mathis was the outstanding player. Greenport was selected as the opponent for the crossover game. The Amityville Crimson Tide finally showed what they were capable of doing by putting everything togetherg good offense, defense and special- ty teams. Everyone knew this was the seniors last game and the Tide came out to beat a good Greenport team 26-8. The outstanding player was Tom Cheviot who got the extra yards in clutch situations. The season was over. The Tide finished in second place with a 6-3 record and accomplished the greatest comeback in the history of Amityville football.

Varsity football Row 1, Left to Right: D. Gallo, J. Martens, C. Fox, R. Porr, M. Ingenito, L. Scalise Row 2 D St Thomas K Sharrott T Mathis, D. Taylor, A. Corapi, K. Shannon, W. Crocitto, C. Allen, Row 3: Coach Neimi R Ebner T Cheviot R Seamon G. Bona, J. Bochicchio, J. Cheviot This year's football started with the traditional Red and Gray game. The teams were captained by Jim Kretz and Jim Cheviot. Following that game the varsity team was selected and set for their season goal the Rutgers Trophy, which goes to the best team in Suffolk County. The Tide had very high hopes of becoming the first team to win two conference championships in a row. Time would tell. The season opener was a non-league game against a very tough Lindenhurst team. On the bus before the game the traditional number 31 was given to Jim Kretz and the game captain honors were given to John Bochicchio and Bill Chadwick. The Tide fell behind early and a last quarter shot at victory fell short and the game was lost 22-8. Charles Taylor was chosen outstanding player for his defensive efforts at tackle. The league season opened against a big Port Jefferson team. The game captains were Bobby Cusick and Tom Cheviot. The Tide played a tough game but three fumbles led to the three Port Jeff touchdowns and time ran out on the Tide as they lost 22-16. The outstanding player for the game was Kevin Shannon for his fine defensive work. The following week John Glenn came to Amityville and played the most controversial game of the year, which it turned out decided the league championship. The game captains were Jim Cheviot and Charles Taylor. John Glenn leading 8-0 in the third quarter had the ball first and goal on the Tide's four. The defense pulled together and held Glenn for the first three dovms. On fourth and inches John Glenn's fullback drove into the left side. The defense stacked them up and the fullback went down under a pile of defenders. Amity was sure they held, the referee made no signal and waited for everyone to unpile instead of signalling touchdown or Amityville ball right away. By the time the runner nudged up a little and Glenn was awarded the score. For the first time all year we started playing football the way Amityville football should be. The Tide scored and got the ball back with time running out. The game ended with Amityville on Glenn's twelve yard line. The final score was 14-8 and thi.s game gave Amity its worst start in years. Now every teani in the league thought we were pushovers and Comsewogue decided to play us in a torrential downpour. It turned out to be a mistake as the Tide led by Jim Kretz's three touchdowns and the defensive play led by Bob Seaman, Charles Taylor and Boby Cusick

Our team was competitive in all their matches, but finished the season with a record of only two wins and seven losses. Unfortunately, we lost several matches by a margin of only one point. The season ended with nine players receiving varsity letters, and Barbara Arsons chosen as the most valuable player. Whether winning or losing, practicing or playing in a match, the team always had a lot of spirit and a lot of fun. Thanks, Miss Brubaker. VHQKWS . o r Q., may -v.. 1 ,'-. ... - .. -ae. .- H .
