Bruins Grab Championship Head mentor Kozlowski confers with quarterback Mike Tyndall. Following two mid-season ties, the Bruin football team began its inevitable march up the ladder to lay claim to their second state title in three years. Led on defense by Reuben Turner, Joe Pai, John Sturdivant, Bernie West, Clifton Parker, and Ben Johnson, the Bruins held oppo- nents to only 1000 yds. in 14 games. Of- fensively, the team was directed by quar- terbacks Arthur Armstead and Mike Tyn- dall. Mike Clark, Eric Brown, and Jimmy Gayle handled the ball, carrying through holes created by Jimmy Smith, David Periera, Chris Heier, Bernie West, and Ronnie Spruill. The offense gained 4600 yds. in total offense: 1100 passing and 3500 rushing. Kicking duties were han- dled by Lane Green and Joe Pai.

Bruins break through the You Gotta Be- lieve banner at the championship game in Falls Church. From September to June, the halls echoed with cries of “We re number one!” and “You Gotta Be- lieve!” And season after season, team after team proved that the students were right. The Bruin football team brought the AAA trophy home after previously cap- turing the title in 1974. During the winter months, the wrestlers re- mained undefeated and added another star to the Bethel crown with the state wrestling champi- onship. In the spring, the track team continued the sweep and won the outdoor title. The Bruins ac- complished the impossible and re- wrote the Virginia High School League record books.
