'We really concentrated on the fundamentals. l feel this really helped us win the close games, commented Coach lerry Antwine when asked about game strategy. Antwine also said that the difference between this year's players was good talent, a good attitude and a good desire to excel. The team opened their district season with a tie against jefferson.

ore athletes involved Increased number of players There is an addition to the Andress football teams this year. The sophomore foot- ball team increased the number of athletes that were able to be involved in football. Although they were a new team, the sophomores were very strong. The players had a great deal of pride in being winners and it showed in their performance on the field. Outstanding players were: Kenny Taylor, Emilo Pittman, Arthur Scott, George Markle, john Gunn, and Raymond Maxwell. Coach Bobby Elliott feels that Burges was their toughest game, but as the season progressed, the per- formance of the team im- proved, along with the at- titude and spirit of the team. Coach Elliott commented, They performed well under pressure and there was a great amount of talent on this football team. The sophomore football team finished with an 8-0 record. In their first year as a team, the sophomores were district 1 AAAAA champions. The members of the sophomore football team alternated between playing on the junior Varsity and the Sophomore teams. 4 Andress linemen do a good job of holding Coronado back. 4 Andress makes a first down at a game .---- against Austin.
