In any competition, defeat and victory must be taken in stride—of course, victory, as we all know, is far easier to accept. Life, too, has its successes and failures, each hopefully giving way to a greater drive for perfection. The Games We Play provides a fitting theme for the 1978 BIM bringing to mind the successes, the failures, and, above all, the hard work and fun as we reached for victory in all the games we played. 5 1.

Several injuries occurred during the season causing Joe Thompson, Gary Harvey, and Steve Pruitt to be “benched” mid-season. Tim Tracy was chosen, by the team. Most Valuable Player and shared the co-captain honor with Dan Becker. Jeff Roberts received the honor of Best Blocker and the Most Tackles. Kevin Phipps was chosen Most Improved Player.
