Coach O'Connor drilled this year's team hard in after-school practices, developing the players into an out- standing team. His knowledge of football, and the ability to apply it to our team paid off in excellent playing. The 1963 Warriors were a spirited team, providing a very exciting season for the football fans. Many students who pre- viously lacked interest in the sport came to see the Warriors play. The record of two wins, two ties, and five losses does not show the fine playing and sports manship displayed by the team during the season. Win or lose, both the Varsity and B Warriors played excellent foot- ball and battled for each game. Coach lman began his first year at Fox as line coach for the varsity. He also very capably coached the B Warriors, leading them through an excellent season. His teaching has prepared many boys for the varsity next year.
