This years team consisted of the following players: ABOVE, FRONT ROW: David Tarabo- chia, Kirk Lum, David Bogh, David Lam pie n, Troy Biddle. SECOND ROW: Coach Olson, Jeff Johnson, Joe Betts, Paul Shuler, Mike Peterson, Tad Marsch, Coach Deeder. THIRD ROW: Harry Johns, Vince Vermeul, Eric Hautala, Martin Mantaus, Chris Dougherty.

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.

Junior running back Mike Reick led the young fishermen in rushing and kickoff returns. UPPER LEFT: Mike outruns opponents for another score as ref¬ eree looks on. BELOW: Left to right: 1st Row Tom Hilton, Jeff Thompson, Drew Bakkenson, Billie Peterson, Greg Olson, Troy Johnson, Bill Hagerup, David Buel- ing, Ricky Bay, Paul Minton, Ruly Rubio, Second Row; Coach Greg Price, Eric Ny¬ man, Kerry Dugan, Randy Huffman, Shawn Hayrynen, Jack Olson, Bill Durkin, Dean Nelson, Tom Kozoumi, Mike Wullger, Mike Reick, Todd McCallister, Coach Scott Holmstedt. 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

This years ' Freshmen football team had fine coaching from John Deeder and A1 Olson. They did a fine job of shaping and preparing the young gridders for their future years of high school competition as fishermen. RIGHT: Coach Deeder and Coach Olson instruct quarterback David Tara- bochia during a time out, as to what they would like to and expect to occur on the following series of plays. The football program on the whole should be improving in the future. A new program involving tackle football at the fifth and sixth grade level has begun this year. BELOW LEFT: Head varsity football coach Bill Parish shares his knowledge with one of the young players as he instructs him as to what is expected of him. BELOW RIGHT: Varsity assistant Mike Coin helps a young player with his gear while giving him a few words of encouragement. The young players received a great deal of attention from the varsity staff of coaches, and also received much attention from the varsity players them¬ selves. They played only amongst themselves, with no out of town opponents. Yet the extra two years of experience the young players are and will be getting through this new program will be very beneficial to the entire football pro¬ gram in the future years of competition at the Varsity level. 21
