Varsity Football Aces take first in City League Vafstvsoofebfafff East 14 The easiest way to describe the 1980 football season is to listen to the team's theme song, Another One Bites the Dust. And the Aces' City League op- ponents bit the dust time and again as the Aces captured the City League ti- tle with a record of 8-3. The 1980 football season was rewarding and exciting for everybody at East High. We are very proud of what we accomplished, said Coach Chuck Porter. found a wet and muddy field, which made it tough for scoring. The Aces did prevail, however, and came out on top, 10-6. Back in Wichita, the Aces faced the Southeast Buffaloes whom TNGY beat earlier for the first time in 12 years, but they lost the second game and ended the season, crushing hopes for a state championship. This season was certainly a turn- around from a year ago, which may be credited to Coach Porter and his South .................... 6 g North ....... .... O 23 Kapaun ..... .... 7 0 ' West ,.... ....

The only team that beat the Aces in City League action was Kapaun, in a hard fought, defen- sive, turnover-full ballgame. The Aces traveled to Olathe for the first game in Regional action and assistants. Porter was voted City League Coach of the Year, but he looked ahead: We know that more work must be done to bring more championships and glory to East High football. -Y , , .,,- ,, Assistant football coach Tom Barta walks the sidelines while the offense is on the Senior Delton Knox takes the ball around the end and looks for daylight upfield. field. 1 8!

JV Football JV plays threeg 'don't fare well The 1980 junior varsity team played three games this year and fac- ed some very tough competition. Although they lost the games, the season was very rewarding in some ways. It gave the sophomores the ex- perience of playing with the juniors who could possibly become varsity teammates in the future. lt also gave some of the varsity players who are juniors the experience of starting and playing a full game. The junior varsity played South, North and Kapaun. They gave up 67 points to their opponents and only managed to score 7. Despite this, the coaching staff is looking ahead as they will be in- heriting some of the sophomores off l of the more successful sophomore 1 football team. 49 ,tv Foorbatt T East T , North .............. 14 0 T lt KMC. ..... .... 3 9 0 +--wfdttt South ..... .,.27 '7 .mf , . , ,Ji 2, Coach Jerry Taylor gives his squad last minute instructions before their game against South. .s,-h1..,.
