Highlighting impressive season of 6-3 was upset over Metro champ VARSITY FOOTBALL SEASON RECORD 6-3 METRO RECORD 5-2 East 18 Central Waterloo 14 East 8 Dowling 18 East 14 Roosevelt 12 East 14 Lincoln 30 East 7 Hoover 0 East 13 North 0 East 34 Tech 0 East 28 Valley 6 East 14 Newton 41 In order for a team to have a good running game (which East had), that team must have a good offensive line. Up front doing the job were Scott James, Brad McVey, Doug Kasner, Bob Cronin, and Dwayne DeVries. Dwight Clark started the season on the line, but a broken ankle forced him to quit playing. The best game East played was an upset 28-6 victory over Valley. When East came out in the second half all fired up, it was the line that pushed Valley back and made the holes open up for the backs. On the other side of the line, the Junkyard Dogs gave up a school record of only 2 58 passing yardage. The defensive line was made up of Brad McVey, Keith Williamson, and Doug Kasner. The linebackers were Don Conklin, John Formaro, and Jeff Cosner, with Ed Sullivan, Craig John- son, and Tim Powell on the ends. Head Coach Charles said, Even though we finished second in the Metro, we all feel that with the climactic victory over Valley, we were really number one. The overall season record was 6-3; Metro record was 5-2. 12 FALL

Big season for Scarlets: 6-3 overall record The football season was filled with a number of plays on both offense and defense. The Scarlets were led by All- City second team quarterback Steve Sandon, who was able to run the ball as well as throw it. His receivers were flanker Pat Shelley (who was the second leading receiver in the Metro Con- ference, but received no recognition), end Tom O ' Boyle (first team All-Central Iowa) and Craig Tideback (second team Metro at tight end). When the Scarlets ran the ball, the triple option of Steve Sandon, Bob Wheeler, and Dennis Irvin always kept the opponents on their toes. Defensively, the Scarl ets named themselves the Junk Yard Dogs. The Dogs held a three-game shutout record before giving up six points to Valley in a 28-6 contest. Head Coach Bill Charles summed up the season: This was an excellent group of young men to work with. Our coaches, Mr. Bankus, Mr. Burgett, and Mr. Jock Johnson did a superior job in teaching the fundamentals and keeping our players emotionally aroused for our opponents. We were an exciting team to watch. RIGHT: Brad McVey, 6cott James, Doug Kasner, and Dwayne Devries huddle up after a tough blocking assignment against Valley. John Formaro, Tim Powell, Keith Williamson, Doug Kasner, Jeff Cosner, Brad McVey, and Kerry Broquist prepare for the snap of the ball against Netwon. FALL 11
