1985 Junior Varsity Is Getting a New Start ' ' A ' inished the season with twenty-four kids and a 3 and 7 record. said Coach Gary Causey. Three and seven has kind of been an albatross for this group, as it has been the same record they have had every year that they have played. With two new coaches and nearly all sophomore players, the Junior Varsity Gator football team had many strikes against it. Coach Gleen McWhartor. who has coached both high school and college, believes that the pride level is higher and athletics is more important to these kids. Gary Zernow. also a new coach, said. Although we are an all sophomore team and small in number and size, I feel every player gave their best effort and never gave up. The players practiced every day after school during football season and every day during fourth period. Causey stated, This group showed up for practice more consistently and complained less than any group since I ' ve been at Dickinson. He continued, They know that champions aren ' t created overnight, and that with hard work and dedication, they will be champions.

Freshmen End With Experience r he freshman A team finished its season with a successful 6-4 season. ' The team played well and had some tough losses. Head coach Terry Vestal said, The four losses came with a combined total of eight points. In other words, we were in every game until the last minute. Coach Vestal added, The players we had this year will be good high school players if they stay with it. The freshman B team ended up its first year of football competition with a 2-5-1 record. Playing a tough schedule, the high points of the season came on victories over two of the best teams in the area. The team beat LaPorte 27-13 and Ball High 16-8. According to head coach Tim Drake, The players competed with great enthusiasm and always played hard. The record isn ' t as important as the fact that the team learned and gained experience, said Coach Drake. He added, They were better at the end of the year than at the beginning, making for a productive year and high hopes for the future.
