Upset Ends Season For GBS Gridders he 1978 football sea- - son is one which will long be remembered by the football fans of Glen- brook South. This year's varsity football team was, the best l've seen in years, said Head Coach Bob Schoenwetter. And it was an overwhelming season. For the first time in GBS history, the varsity team boasted a regular season re- cord of 9-0. We did so well because of a good blend of ju- niors and seniors, who really worked together. said Schoenwetter. According to the coach, the win against Marist was a turning point because, . . it showed us we could really play well against a big team. Other morale-boosting victo- ries included wins against Maine South and Maine East. Says junior team member Tony DeCeanne, . . we really wrecked a couple of nice looking homecomings, but that's the way it goes! A really big boost to the 68f Varsity Football team's ego was the comeback against Glenbrook North in the second half of a night- time thriller at North's Wil- liam Lutz Stadium. Action in the second half included touchdown runs by senior Ed Cramer and a 40-yard pass in- terception by I im Hinchsliff, for a final score of 35-7. This win at Glenbrook North clinched the conference title for the Titans a week before the regular season ended. The following week, the Titans romped for a school record 54 points against Niles West, which scored 14. After a three day rest, it was time for a post-season play. School was closed at 12:30 p.m. on Nov. 8, 1978, for a 1:30 game against New Trier East Indians, which South won 35-14. That was a fantastic victo- ry, said Coach Schoenwetter. Since we beat New Trier East, we are, in effect, the con- ference champs. Senior quarterback Mike DiBene- detto tosses a swing pass to fullback Mike Hinchsliff. The Titans mixed passing and running well in their po- tent offense. Senior defensive end George Lagorio i891 tackles Maine East's quarterback for a loss. South avenged its only de- feat of 1977 in this game. ww W ,. .... A :i.ar.mr.,f.isx , A-. lm .G ...if- ,K 'gil us, 55 . 51 1 gas 5 '35 is lst Row: T. Cernetic, J. Stockfish, R. Ladd, 1.

For it being the first year for a girls' team at GBS, they did a fine job and will do even better next year, says coach Tom Neville. The boys' cross country team had a disappointing sea- son, its final record being one win and nine losses. In the league meet, the team received fourth place with four sophomores competing on the varsity level. Those sophomores were Mike Em- mons, Phil Chin, Brian Gil- len, and Brian Bartsch. lThe last two received varsity let- Cassie Nawrocki carefully follows the designated route in an out-oF- t0WI'l meet. ters.J In the Gordon Tech Invi- taitonal, 19 teams competed and the GBS team received eighth place.
