Rajahs End Losing Streak The Rajahs had another one of those disappointing football seasons in 1984, finishing with a 1-8 record, but there was one bright spot. The Rajahs had built up a 13 game losing streak over the past year which had everyone depressed until the Bement game. Then the team snapped out of it and beat Coach Lyons’ old school 22-6. Coach was pleased with that victory, but concluded, We’ll just have to wait until next year.” Other bright spots to the season were the selection of Phil Reed to the All Conference first team at linebacker and Doug Loy as second team tackle on defense. Craig Conner and Steve Davis received honorable mention in the balloting. Doug Loy and Craig Conner were selected as cocaptains by the team. Phil Reed won the award for most tackles with 64 solo and 56 assists. Steve Stillabower was chosen by the team as most improved and received the Phalen Award. Craig Conner was chosen by the Rajahs as most valuable player with a 5.2 yards per carry average and a touchdown on an interception return. 14 The 1984 Rajahs: From: Scott Davis, Ted Day, Daniel Fagan, Curt Harshbarger, Lee Primmer, Hill Reveil, Tim Dunn, Shannon Kurr, Chris England, Steve West, and Frank Shoulders.
