Injuries killed us, said Coach Critten- den. At one time, we had only one starter on the offensive line. Lack ot confidence was evi- dent as the players didn't know who would be playing beside them in the line or it they them- selves would be on the sidelines.

Horn m, Kevin Wright warms up hi S Plagued by injuries, the l.V. football Team struggled through its season trying to at the very least make a good showing tor the confidence also showed in that the players had to suddenly change posi- tions in the middle ot a game because ot injur- ies. They were strang- ers, said Coach Sikes. Another problem ot the team was the lack of trust the players had in their teammates and themselves. Guys who came in from Kerr and Del Crest had been taught to be rivals,tor so I long, and then all of a sudden, they had to learn to play together, explained Coach Crit- tenden. When asked it he saw any room tor improve- ments, Coach Crittenden replied, There's always room tor improvement, think when you stop im- proving, lt's time to get out ot the game. X f. ll football

Ovflill new Soph Suooeeols He is a good athlete and is smart enough to be put in a position we needed him and did his job well, said Coach Sikes when asked about sophomore, Ricky Rollin. Ricky plays on the l .V. team as middle safety and has played football since 4th grade. Ricky plans on attending CSU atter he graduates. He really enjoyed the team he played on this year, the teammates and play- ers alike. Coming up to Del City from Kerr lr. High, Ricky enjoys the high school team a lot better than the smaller junior high team, however, Mr. Watkins, his ninth grade coach, was his favorite in giving good methods and en- couragement. l. lf football The chain gang Coach Manning watches anxiously as the ofhcials measure the Crucial hrsi down.
