Frosh, Reserves 3 Claim City The Freshman and Reserve football squads had more in common this season than just their sports. They both had new coaches, and they both ended with out standing seasons. The Freshman team proved them- selves with a 5-1 record. The game that kept them from an undefeated season was a heart breaking loss to Harrison, 24-22. One factor that added to their win- ning record was their size. The fact that the freshman offensive line outweighed the varsity by 140 lbs. gave them an ad- vantage. Talent was also a factor. Running back Scott Johnston lead the team by scoring 20 touchdowns in the first five games, a new school record. Other standouts were W W 7; , Titles Terry Stevens, line back, and Jeff Good- win, defensive end. The team shows a lot of potential and, with a lot of hard work, they could make a very successful varsity squad , says Coach Gene Backes. This was Coach Backes' first year with the freshman team. The Reserve team was lead to a City Championship with a 6-1 record. Only 25 points were scored against the Re- serve team throughout the entire season. The Westside Reserve trophy was brought back to Reitz for the first time in three years, after defeating Mater Dei by a score of 22-0. The team was head by Coach Mike Horn, also a coaching his team for the first year. Marcos Mayes dives forward against Mater Dei. Combined Varsity and Reserve teams.
