Sophomore team learn Ace system e weren't really sucessful in the win lose catagory, but we took a lot of kids and taught them our system and instilled in them an attitude re- quired of a varsity player. said Rick Stevens, sophomore football head coach. The sophomore football team won two games and lost five, however, Stevens stated, Most of our games were lost by less than a touchdown. Although sophomore football is not a major event like varsity is, Stevens says, It is a serious part of the varsity football pro- gram. We lthe coachesl don't take it light- ly, and the kids don't either. I-Ie went on to say, We laid down the ground work and the varsity coaches will put on the finishing touches. . . I was really encouraged by some of the potental of the kids. Some will make good varsity players, they're very quick and want to play. With our coaches, I think that they will develop into good varsity players. 1.
