The baby falcons claimed their second straight city championship. They finished with a perfect 8-0 record. The first four games of the season set the pace for the rest for the team shutout all four competitors. The defense was the key to these shutouts, but the offense sparkled too. The team, in their fifth game, traveled to Trinity and were scored upon for the first time. The next game was a night time game at Jeffersonville, which proved to be an offensive bomb shell as Jeffersonville exploded with 18 points. The baby falcons met a very un- friendly crowd when they traveled to St. X for their second match with the Tigers. St. X scored one touchdown, but the falcons ended up on the winning side. The most exciting game of the season was the final bout with DeSales. It was the second contest of the season between the two schools and was played at DeSales. Again, the Falcons overcame the unfriendly crowd and pulled out the victory in the final seconds with a halfback pass from Joe Milliner to Gary Hooper for the score. iTt 41 FROSH FOOTBALL

Basketballers come out on short end of Roller coaster season Besides ending up with a disappointing 1014 record, the basketball season evi- denced a decline in school spirit. With the loss of attendance early in the season, the team seemed to pick up the attitude of the school: If they don ' t care, why should we? The beginning of the 1975-76 campaign showed signs of a good season— maybe the best ever. With two starters back, David Tier- ney and Phil Mingus, and others like Bob Norris, Kevin Alexander, and Terry Dean with some experiences, there was a chance for a tremendous season. The first game of the season was against a strong Trinity team. After a poor first half, the Falcons found themselves down by 20, but in the second half fought back to within 4, eventually losing by a score of 58-54. Tierney and Alexander were the top scorers for the Falcons. The team took on highly regarded, Thomas Jefferson, in the next game and squeaked by them 63-62. The Doss Dragons again proved to be too explosive for the team to handle as they dropped another one to them 49-47. The Falcons then went to Shawnee ' s gym where, after taking the In- dians into overtime, lost 69-65, offsetting a 33-point performance by David Tierney. 42 BASKETBALL m : w
