THAT CLASSIC STYLE . . . Ends a Stor book Season It leaves an emptiness, said Coach Harp. I feel an emptiness for these kids. This summed up Anderson's feelings after the highly emotional Fort Knox District Play-off. The statistics showed that Anderson had controlled the game but Fort Knox won on the scoreboard. Anderson had 15 first downs to Fort Knox's 9. Anderson tallied up 309 yards to 207 for the Eagles. Penalties and fumbles killed us, said Harp, on the 'Cats only defeat. It wasn't so much the number of penalties, but when they happened. Of Fort Knox's nine first downs, three came on Bearcat penalties. Anderson also fumbled the ball three times. Down 21-20, the 'Cats last chance came with 1:49 left on the clock when they took over on their own 14 and drove to the Fort Knox 27 in six plays. But with eight seconds left, the 'Cats had no choice but to let Brian Renaud try for an unsuccessful 45-yard field goal.

. . and FRESHME Contribute to that classic style Despite a tough schedule, the junior varsity and freshman squads had a year full of experience. Since I didn't get very much varisty time, the IM games gave me a lot of experience, said freshman quarterback Randy Gillis. We were serious about winning, but we had a great time! The junior varsity ended their season with a 1-4 record.

The team played many teams whose varsity was among the top in the state. We played teams such as Bourbon County and Woodford County said sopho- more Chris Cornish. These teams' varsity squads were super! The freshman squad, headed by Coach Chip Bish- op, ended their season with a 4-4 record. Although they were short on team members, the Frosh made up for it with extra effort. A lot of times we didn't have hardly enough peo- ple to scrimmage, said freshman Sean Perryp but we always worked a little bit harder and made up for that.
