Spotters Innocent and Osgood take movies from high above field. MR. JOHN YOUNG . . . J. Y. . . . BS MS Ithaca College . . physical education 9-12 . . . coaches football and wrestling . . . All right, you tigers . . . notoriously small appetite . . . What does that guy think he's doing out there? . . . never has any fun . . . that famous outside set-shot that never misses. Special thanks must go to head coach, John Young for his superb job of turning a team which, at the beginning of the season no one thought had a chance of winning, into a championship contender. Thanks must also go to special coaches, Mr. Ted Dunn, Mr. Carl Osgood Mr. Richard Dow, and Mr. Lou Scarano, who also did fine jobs. Next year, we expect to see the Gladiators bring an OCL championship to Goshen, since our entire front line is returning, and we feel sure that Coach Young can train enough of the players moving up from the JV team to replace the ones graduating this year. Best of luck for a highly successful year. MR. FRANCIS JOSEFIAK . . . Buz . . . guidance counselor and assistant football coach . . . BS from Cortland . . . MS from Springfield . . . Carol, have I sent in that transcript yet? . . . cool, calm and collected . . . loves to put feet up on his desk. Coach Josefiak looks over the bench as Tiger Dunn sizes up the situation.

However, the next two league games saw a 24-7 triumph over Minisink at home and a 26-6 trouncing of Monroe-Woodbury on their own field. Then, on Saturday, October 31, the County Seaters met a greatly improved Highland Falls team on Oscar Gustafson Field. Goshen took the opening kickoff and promptly marched 81 yards for a touchdown. It appeared to be another win. However, fumbles, interceptions, and over-confidence hurt us greatly, and we ended up on the short end of a 25-19 score. This proved to be our only league loss prior to the championship game. In the next game Cornwall went down to a 27-7 defeat on their home field, the highlight of the game being the very first play. Halfback Duane Bruen, back in single safety for die opening kickoff, gathered the ball in on his own 16 yard line and raced straight up die middle for an 84 yard TD without being touched by a single Green Dragon. Finally, on November 14, a record crowd was on hand in Warwick to see the Queen Village gridders tackle the Gladiators for the county championship. The Wildcats were heavily favored to win, as diey had been county champs two straight years. Yet we had the league’s leading ground gainer in Duane Bruen. The Warwick defense, however, was tough enough to stop the fleet-footed Bruen from turning the comers, and most of our rushing yardage came through the efforts of bruising fullback Ed Hargrave. Our defense, however, could not contain Warwick's single wing offense, and their halfback, Ray Hernandez, scored two touchdowns. We lost by a score of 28-7. Our lone touchdown came on a 20 yard run by Garf Clark, who took over at calling the signals after Denny Caplicki was injured. Although we did not win the championship, we ended up in second place, with the top offense in the league, scoring more points than any other team. Our unexpectedly successful season was due to the transformation of many once mediocre players who were simply tired of losing. Halfback Duane Bruen used his speed to great advantage, finishing as the second highest scorer in the league. Dennis Caplicki also developed into a fine passer and signal caller. Eddie Hargrave blossomed into a bone-crushing fullback, and Garf Clark became a fine flankcrback. Also, our offensive line was possibly the best in the Orange County League. The ball carriers get the headlines, but without the line opening holes in the defense, the halfbacks and fullbacks could go nowhere. Congratulations to all the members of the team and the coaching staff for a fine season.
