I mishaps hurt uutcume Team injuries change perception of season M njuries plagued the varsity football team this year. The disappointed squad ended up with a 2-8 record. Early in the year starting center Rich Palmer had knee problems and was out the rest of the season. Other maladies included running back Larry Allgood who was out two games with pneumonia; full back and co-captain larrod Bunch broke his arm in the Homecoming game; split end Clarence Covington had back problems, while Darrell Allgood and John Wilfong also missed games with injuries. 'We practiced harder this year than any other year stated John Wilfong. a junior starter at both guard and defensive end We just couldn't get the breaks ' Head Coach Rollie Mushrush said, 'The team was mentally in' every game; they were just hurt by turnovers.' There were many reasons why this season was not a winning one including the fact that there were only thirteeen seniors on the squad, only six of whom were returning players. This lack of seniors accounted for six sophomores and ten juniors receiving a lot of varsity playing time The young starters gained experience which will be of great use next year. The team captains, both returning starters, Ken Johnson and Jarrod Bunch, provided irreplaceable leadership, because they were respected by the other players. The team may not have had a winning season, but. according to most team members, they stuck together and practiced to improve their skills. The juniors and sophomores who will be returning next year have high aspirations for a more successful season.
