Sophornores Struggle to Survive by Sabrina LoSello photos by Rollin Sanderob We quit! l This was bitterly shouted by over half the .Junior Varsity team due to built up hostilities among the coaches and players. After having walked most of their laps during a prac- tice, the team was given extra miles to run. Feeling this was unfair, many of the guys walked off the field. The coach handled it professionally and refused to let these players participate in the game against Nlanteca that Friday. His judgement was proven valid. The team went on to win that night with a final score of l 5-S in Seyer's favor. The overall season record of 3- 7 was disappointing, however. Seing a young team though, they were eager to learn and compelled to improve. Seyer's Sophomore team was filled with talent and ability. With more drive, intensity and desire they could have been one of the best teams in the league. A major step towards improving the team was changing the End string quarterback, Sob Wessling ESSJ. to a starting player and switching the original quarterback. Nlark Schnapf E'l SJ to tail back where his speed and agility could be better utilized. These two athletes and Corey Watts E241 Tim Louis fS4J, Flick Sussell E'l SJ, and Earl Sowser KSOJ really helped to keep this season from becoming a dismal fail- ure. lt was a tough year in football for these young men, but with the losses and problems came experience and growth towards their future as Varsity team members in 'I SSS.

A VVave Df Players The last second of the fourth quarter passes, the gun is fired, echo- ing another Beyer loss. Although the team had a tough season this year, coach Paul Cornwell commented, The team never gave up. The team consisted of seventy players at the beginning of the sea- son. Due to injury, grades, and drop-outs, fifty-five players finished out the season. Beyer's largest team ever was high-lighted by good defense playing. Key player Geoff Mccoubrey commented, Coach Fiich Snow and Coach Cornwell helped us become the best defense players we could be. According to Cornwell, they produced a B-B and 'I -4 standing league record. The year was successful regardless of it's winfloss rec- ord. Mr. Cornwell summed up the season by saying, The team has the ability to have success in the future, with hard work and dedication. if ' is .. . vt. ,... xi .A 1.
