The JV ' s had many changes during the season which may have hurt their season dramatically as many players switched from JV to Varsity. 4 or 5 players were exchanged throughout the year which include: Randy Huffman, Todd McCallister, and Greg Lessard. Reick and Hilton started out on the Varsity team but asked to be put down for lack of playing time. 0

18 The Astoria High School JV football squad ended the season losing seven games and winning only one the entire year. The record did not really slow the progress they made throughout the season as they lost many games by just a small margin. At the beginning of the season the JV squad looked like they could be a powerful ball club but had many changes in personel throughout the year which hurt their chances of really getting it together. ABOVE: Line opens huge gap for Mike Wullger as he races for big gain in league counter. BELOW LEFT: Coach Greg Price gives instructions to one of many quarterbacks on what play to run on the next series. BELOW RIGHT: Assistant coach Scott Holmstedt shows disgust at dumb call by officials as General Paul Minton trys to explain what exactly happened. The young team went through three quarter¬ backs throughout the year and a number of other injuries left the team with only 13 to 14 players left at the end of the disappointing season. Although the season did not go as good as planned there should be a lot of good talent moving in to the varsity program in years to come.

At this point in the first quarter the fisherman are playing well as they lead 12-0, and appear to be on the move again. This years Freshman crop of players should be useful in future years as Astoria drops to AA competition in the Cowappa league. Although they did not complete the year with an outstanding record, the Frosh were competitive in most of their games, as seen below.
