Heroes of Autumn As another season ended for the varsity football team its 6-4 overall record gave a deceiving air of another average season for the Coogs. Appearances can fool you, the 1984 squad was one that made waves. The season started with the team a little green and with a lot of players who hadn't had much game time said head coach, C. Ray Daniel. In their season opener against Temple, Crockett lost 31-0 and it seemed like just another replay of a scene the fans had seen before. But the next Week they bounced back and shut out a highly touted Lanier team 9-0. In a hint of things yet to come, Lanier's Aundoy Johnson, the 1983 district leading rusher, was held to a negative six yards. The next week when Crockett was tromped 32-0 by eventual district champs, Travis, fans suffered pangs of Deja Vu . Hadn't this all happened before? September 27 it turned around again when they marched over LBJ 16-10. The LBJ game was definitely a highlight, recalled senior Michael Hafner. They had the home field advantage and the psychological advan- tage of never having lost to us. They were also ranked far above us and had been predicted to win easily. We showed that hard work paid off when we beat them. The Cougars couldn't keep a streak and put Reagan away as they had hoped for. In years past, Reagan had defeated Crockett by an average 16.5 points per game. This year the Raiders barely squeaked by 6-0. Although Crockett was blanked, they showed great determination by not granting Row One: Charlie Callihan, William Glenn, Richard Fogle, Leslie Callihan, Shannon Dorsey, Steve Hassman, Joe Cole, Alvin Pennick.

William Glenn Guniorj the Raiders any un-earned yardage. After the game coach Daniel said, I think we did every bit as good as we could have hoped, probably better. The offense never showed its vital signs but the defense was definately alive. The bully boys showed their might by holding powerhouse Reagan to only six points, blanking out Lanier Wr- v total yards. The veer offense, which took the Coo to their best season last year, didn't wo well this year. After the Reagan gar Daniel elected to return to the I form tion. The result: Crockett went on to w three of the final four games and chalk up 76 points in the process. This compar to only 25 points in the first six games. We weren't moving the ball well. wasn't any big deal to make the changeg was better for everybody.
