SWK' 1 144 Frefhmen Prove Pronferr OPP 3 Overshadowed by the dominance of the Varsity, but 2-7 still an intricate part of future varsity success, Freshmen and 0 Reserve football teams struggled through the burdensome 12 season without any hope of major crowd recognition. 0 The Reserves relying on the offensive thrusts plotted by 13 Cary Martin and conceived by 1-lalfbaclts Tom Hayden and Mike Campeau offered an unsurmountable lead to the opposi- tion. Teaming with the potent offense, a bone-jarring defense unit sporting standouts as Dan Nolan and led Biallas held their opponents to a trickle of points while running to a 26 perfect season of six wins and one tie and capturing the 21 Catholic League Championship. 12 After falling to tenacious and determined Notre Dame 7 and De La Salle teams, the Freshmen team, rallied their 13 strength and efforts, came back into winning ways and pro- 0 ceeded to finish undefeated in their final four games. With a championship Reserve team and a powerful Freshmen team, future Varsity Football at Brother Rice will have an abundant wealth of ability from which to choose and continue the winning tradition. Executing a perfect handoff, Tony McGrath thrusts the footlaall into the arms of ,lim Zimkowski., and fades hack, making room for the Rice offensive charge against Catholic Central.

Co-Champion Warriors Crest ot Sixth in State e -t .: ?M lfutlmsiasm built up liefore the important game explodes in ri tu- multuous rom' of excitement ns the team hrealcs from the huddle. Avoiding an attempted snuff from behind, Kevin Keating drives skillfully through a tight Clowson defense for the lay-up shot. 146 Witli the majority of those who competed in last years post-season success returning to fill the ranks of the 68-69 Varsity, the unique union of desire and ability that had enabled them to shed the classification of a second rate team still prevailed. From the very outset of the schedule, the slashing Wlarriors found themselves alone on top of their desperate followers. Combining an awesome offensive thrust spearhead- ed by rXllfArea Don hlaeAloon and Steve lones with the devastating defense of hlilqe Biallas. Mike McGill and Bill llart, the Vllarriors sprang out to live straight vic- tories before being momentarily sidetracked by Austin. Regaining their poise and stamina, Rice again muscled their way over all oncoming foes including a major 74573 win over Catholic Central in a nerve-wraeking overtime period. Austin proved to be the Rice nemesis, and continued to jinx the league-leading Vvarriors by again cutting Riee's win streak short. More than capable of repeating the explosive show- ing in last seasons linal surge, the VVarriors shattered the opposition in defending their district title, but were aborted in their quest to retain thc regional throne by the overpowering squad from Pontiac Central, culminating in an abrupt halt of the successful season. Swiftly darting through the hole in the defense his opponent attempts to close, Don lllneflloon drives througlr for a lay-up. N . .fwmt .1 my-W -tf.- s--w--y-f-M- - sv--if -fs- Mfffss----wsm
