Walters resigned prior to a victory over rival John F. Kennedy two weeks ago. v ,a .. U. After Coach Retires Cheektowaga coach., Bucky Walters an' in rl before the game 'he will resign after .this season and the Warriorswznt out and trimmed invading John F. Kennedy, 14-6, in an intra- town Division IV archrivalry clash. Walters switched QB Marty Muscatiello to fullback because of injuries and Muscatiello plunged two yards for a TD and converted for an 8-0 halftime edge. JFK responded with a 30- yard TD pass from Craig Stoc- zynski to Joe Pulli, but the Warriors got that back on QB Mike Hay's 43-yard pass to Tim Peterson. That was one of Hay's two completions. Muscatiello gained 102 yards in 26 runs and made a key inter- ception. Walters said he is quit- ting because he feels afterlhis four years as coach Cheek- towaga football is back where it belongs and I can bow out grace- fully. Winding up his 18th season in coaching, Walters noted the Warriors are back on winning ways and never did lose to JFK while I coached them. He had a victory cake baked last Thursday.

During his four years of coaching Mr. Walters put Central football back where it belongs. The Warri- ors enjoyed many winning seasons under his training and never lost a game to J.F.K. His eighteen years of experience as a coach helped to make our team what it is today!
