JV Tries Gollontly in Losing Seoson But Keeps on Trying x x he competition was just too tough said JV Coach Doug Meloche. These fighting Ma- ples, who were also coached by john Solberg, gave their opponents a run for the money. But when the clock ran out, the Maples points came up short, excluding their triumphant victory over Hazel Park, who had been undefeated for 26 games. This is proof of what the Maples can do. Another contributing factor to the team's overall record was the loss of fullback, Tom Scheure, who in the first quarter of the Kimball game broke his wrist. Despite the teams overall record, they never lost good spirits. We're an enthusiastic bunch of guys, soph- omore Rick Spencer commented. The one record broken this year was the most kids out for the team. Thirtyone at the beginning of the season topped the previous number to make it the biggest team ever. The team captains this year were quarterback George Zeigler, offensive tackle Ryan Ross, and wingback Steve Weed. These players all gave outstanding perfor- mances. Overall the wins did not total very many for the Maples, but the coaches and the players can say that they know alot more about football than they did at the beginning of the season. As center Brian Stanislaw said, We're getting there. 0 QAM' J ,.o- Iv FOOTBALL 157
