The second half of the season was disappointing for the team, with the loss of starting quarterback Jerry Girkin and a few other important players. We could have won the league championship, but we were overconfident after our first victory over Cherry Creek. After that the team won one more game and lost to Overland, Smoky Hill and Central on the last game of the season. The coaching staff consisted of head coach Merlin Johnson, Mr. Kevin Morgan and Mr. Dove Demski. The Sophomore team continued their winning seasons with only one loss. The biggest win of the season was a 18-O victory over Smoky Hill. This victory put the Olys into first place in the Centennial We could have won the league championshp, but we were overconhdenr after our t7rsr victory over Cherry Creek. League. The Oly's only loss came on the first game of the season on a last second field goal. The outstanding players were quarterback Troy Leiker, running back Jeff Girkin and lineman Joe Manfrey. The outstanding defensive players were linebacker Joe Gutierrez and defensive back Mark Blankaflor. The coaching staff consisted of Don Cavarra as the Head coach, Spencer Johnson as the linebacker coach and Casey Coons as the line coach. The J.V. team finished with a C3-1 record. The team's purpose was to let thejuniors and some of the sophomores play together to build experience for the future.
