FOOTBALL Oridders Grab One Win T ouan Opposition, Lack of Offensive Machine, Lead CHS to AA4 Cellar Never recovering after a stunning loss in the season opener, Catalina's 1960 varsity eleven managed to grab only one win in nine outings. Under new head coach John Griste's direction the Trojans improved with every game but never built an offensive machine which could overpower the stiff opposition thrown at them throughout the long, rugged season. 1 Moffatt, Vrchota Chosen Co-captains P Seniors John Moffatt and John Vrchota were selected by their teammates as co-captains for the 1960 sea- son. Vrchota, a 190 pound tackle was also voted the team's top blocker while Moffatt was selected as the top defensive player. Prospects for the 1961 season seem encouraging as the Trojans will have 10 return- ing lettermen, including the entire backfield. Next year the Blue and White will face arch rival Rincon twice, and will replace Scottsdale with Phoenix Camel- back. Fired Up Lancers Thump Trojans, 28-7 Fired up by the dedication of their new football field, Salpointe's Lancers soundly thumped the CHS gridders 28-7. Thus began a year full of football woes for the Catalina eleven. The only bright spot in the encounter was fullback Bob Bykerk's 3 yard touchdown burst in the second quarter and Doug Heinrichs' successful PAT attempt. After Bykerk's TD, Salpointe called upon a powerful ground attack and a still defense to coast to the win. , ln the annual out of town game, the Trojans traveled to Mesa. Followed by 10 busloads of students, the Catalina squad entered Jackrabbit-land with hopes for an upset. The state champion Jackrabbits quickly erased any Catalina hopes, however, by holding the Trojan attack to a standstill and raced to a 33-0 win.
