Intensity Pays Off In Victory! The last Homecoming game that ended in a victory was in 1983» to everyone was preparing tor a win over Algonac. Senior, John Siemen said, I think more intensity and preparation was put into practices during Homecoming week than in others. Although the weather had been wet and miserable, Friday turned out to be clear and sunny, but quite cold. By the time the game had started, the temperature had fallen to 45 degrees. However, this did not keep the fans, parents, alumni, and students trom coming, wrapped up in olankets, to cheer their team to a victory. After two touchdowns, one by Roger Bosnaw and one by Bill Forro, and a field goal kicked by Nick Serra, the Pioneers defeated the Muskrats 17-0. Head Coach Fred Radske gives strict instructions to junior, Jesse Fuentes Numoer 38, during the Homecoming game. »7, junior, Roger Boshaw hands off to 31, junior Brad Mabc, as junior 1. Dave Miller and 78, senior Brian Torzewski provide excellent blocks. HuMECOMlNu uhMb. 14
