Junior High Football Although this year's Iunior High Football Team did not have a perfect season, it can boast that no former Steel Valley Conference Team could beat it. Next year's team will have to fill vacancies left by such players as Hart, Milligan, McMaster, Senich, Pavlick, and DelBene, who will graduate to varsity play. Bill Milligan was honorary captain of the team, and lettermen on the squad were Iames Hart, William Waite, William Forney, Terry Senich, Charles Graham, Thomas McMaster, Harry Charles, William Triplett, Frank Pavlick, Thomas Evans, Harvey McClimans, William Milligan, Iames Kay, Paul Lepor, Iohn DelBene, Richard Maksimowski, and Manager Robert Iones. Of these only Forney, Graham, and Triplett will be available next year. Pointmakers of the season were Povlick, who accounted for three TD's: Senich, who made two: DelBene and Hart, each of whom scored one: and Forney, who authored the point after touchdown.

Girard led throughout most of the game, but in the closing minutes Ravenna's passing attack was too much for Girard's secondary. Girard's loss to Memorial, 32-O, was also costly in the in- jury department. Throughout the whole game, Girard's offense could not get moving. Cua's runs paced the Red Devils to their victory. Girard took a 6-0 victory over Hubbard in the closing seconds of the game. With twenty-five seconds left until the final gun, McMaster ran to his left and threw the winning touchdown pass to Stan Hosking. Girard went into the Niles game with a chance to win the Steel Valley Crown for the second straight year. At the close of the first quarter, Brine went over on quarterback sneak to put Girard out in front 6-0. Niles, in the closing seconds of the first half, was on Girard's forty-yard line when a long touchdown pass made the score 6-6. In the second half, Niles scored two more touchdowns to make the final score 18-6 and to win the Steel Valley Conference. This concluded Girard's 1953 football season with a 6-3 record. Lettermen for the season were Hosking, Weaver, Parilla, Brine, Masterson, Matkovich, Charles, Tuttle, DelBene, Mc- Master, Makar, Mitchell, Ellis, Dawson, Rice, Nespeca, Iohn- tony, O'Neil, Latell, and Damelio.
