Man walked on the moon in 1969 and the BCI Mustangs walked on every other football team that dared to venture on a football field. The Mustangs piled up almost a mile of yardage and an unbelievable 56 touchdowns with a somewhat confident offense while a stubborn defense yielded only six in return. They started off the season by moving like a machine, proving themselves early by crushing all other schools 43-0 en route to the Big Four championship. Need we say more? Yes. Always a winning team, the once laughed at Mustangs now shook the soils of southwestern Ontario. After breezing through the city conference and then burying PJ in the mud at the city championship, they moved on to the unsuspecting victim of Gait Collegiate. They not only took back to Brantford another lopsided victory but also the goalposts. Although the weather was cold, the Mustangs kept warm by continually lugging the pigskin over the Guelph goal line, needless to say, victorious in another CWOSSA championship. The Mustangs also set a new CWOSSA record for fourteen season victories in a row. The team ended the season on a losing note, however, defeated by the girls of BCI (19-0) in the second annual Toilet Bowl, their second loss in two years. If the Mustangs continue at their present rate, not only can they win another CWOSSA championship but the school may have to charter buses to New Orleans to cheer the Mustangs on in the Super Bowl.

The defense, headed by Bill Hignell was severe punishment; quick, hard-hitting and mean. Our secondary made a habit of receiving other teams ' passes and was the best in the city. The offense was unusually good also, coached by Mr. Esbaugh and Mr. Wheatley. Spearheaded by Scott Bartle and Bill Gibbs in early weeks, the team had an aura of supreme confidence about them. After Scotty ' s injury, however, things changed - not much, just the faces. Ken Stemmler and Dan Kennedy did a great job in fullback. Bill Gibbs also headed a good passing attack with his best receiver. Art Showier. Mr. Holmes was responsible for the lines, so punishing this year, that one individual reduced his opponent to tears. The coaches did an excellent job with the team. They made it what it turned out to be — the city champions. 83

We extend our congratulations to the seasoned veterans who are moving on and to next year ' s team we extend our best wishes. We extend our thanks to the two finest football coaches in the city, Mr. Schertzer and Mr. Gardiner, who put up with some things only the Mustangs could do. We should like to thank the managers, the cheerleaders and all loyal fans in and out of the school. Without all these people, this year and in years to come, victory would not be possible. c.w.o.s.s.a. champions 1968 1969 85
