This does not attest to the many well fought, tooth-'n-claw matches with Interhigh League rivals. The season's highlight was a 6-6 tie with the River Rats, maintaining for Ballou the Kiwanis Club bucket. Closely fought games, down to the final minutes, was the type of football the Blue and gold gave their Challengers. Ballou's No. 3 defensive ranking, allowing just nine points per game, testifies to the prowness of our front four. Along with these team triumphs, Ronald Thompson, Wayne Ford, Stephen Wright, and Mike Turner were named to post-season-All-Star teams. Sharing the spotlight with these players are the students for their non-fanatical loyalty and Messrs. Kermit Stewart and Emidio Esola, the team coaches.
