The 1985 Varsity Football season got off to a good start. The team got to within one touchdown of heavily favored Lynchburg Christian. Many of the players were inexperienced and thought that they would improve as the season progressed. The team also had a new head coach, Mr. Gary Horton. He was new to the team and new to the area. He had to get to know the players before he could put them in the proper spot on the field. They also had to get to know him. Even though this was not a winning season, not all of the players were discouraged. As one player said, “I’ll try to look at this year as a learning experience, and look forward to a winning season next year.” 5. Tony Taylor blocks, while Chris Riddle makes a passing attempt. 6.
