'6The record didnat display our potential. Coach McGatIin and Coach Blair, surrounded by the team, look intently towards the field and the game. Two shy fans support the Rams at the Homecoming game. Starring: The G S arsity Football Team G.M.H.S' Varsity Football team completed their season with four wins and five losses. Don McGatIin, Varsity coach, commented, I think we had a far superior team this year than most, but the record didnlt display our potential. We beat the teams we couldn't last year, but we couldn't down the teams that we had beaten the year be- fore. Joe Volpi, senior offensive tackle, felt that had the team gotten more breaks, it would have done better. Coach McGatlin really wanted us to do a good job, but we didn't get thc breaks. Brad Weber, senior tight end, and Vance Still- man, senior offensive tackle, felt that the team was very close and everyone cared for everybody. Joe Volpi felt 'fThere was good team spirit. It was like my Sophomore year again. Coach McGatIin felt that the Varsity team had no specific outstanding players, but he also felt the defense as a whole had improved tremendous- ly throughout the year. The defense played out- standing, we were second in the league, second only to Pomona. Everyone on the offense did an outstanding job, no one player was tremendously better than the other. Although the team never experienced a losing season before, several games provided excitement for the team as well as the spectators. Vance Stillman felt the game with Pomona was his fa- vorite. That particular game was probably the most fun and exciting. 'SI think the Columbine game was the best, commented .loe Volpi, It was the biggest lift for myself and the team. The team opened the season with a win against Arvada West, only to lose the next three to Lake- wood, Wheatridge, and Pomona. The team won the homecoming game against Golden and won the televised game against Columbine. They lost the next game in overtime to Evergreen and then bounced back to win against Bear Creek but lost their last game against Pomona. If you could describe the year in one word, what would it be? Frustrating, said Doug Lawler. Vance Stillman felt the season was Dis- heartening .

SGI really enjoy coaching the s 9 Freshmenf' o Big Loss The sophomore football team completed the season with a disappointing three wins and five losses. The team opened the season with a loss to Arvada West, but clinched a victory in overtime from Lakewood. Loosing the next two against Pomona and Wheat Ridge, the team got their second victory shutting out Golden. The team lost the next two against Columbine and Evergreen. but finished the season with a victory against Bear Creek. Rob Olenski, team member, com- mented, I think the season was disappointing, but I still had a great time. The best game was probably against Lakewood, where we beat them in overtime 28 to 22. I think the team pulled together in that game than most. J.W. Hindmen was the team coach. Green Mountain High School's freshman team this year, coached by Ron White, Mathematics teacher, displayed a very impressive five wins, no losses and one tie game thru the season. The team faced such difficult opponents during the season as Ken Carl, Bear Creek and Drake. The team also played against Arvada, Deer Creek and Ev- ergreen. Coach White commented. I really enjoy coaching the freshman. I attempted to teach them the fundamentals of football. We set that as our goal and worked at it the entire season. Coach White felt the best game of the season was prob- ably the one against Ken Caryl. We came from behind twice in the game and won on a last min- ute field goal by Troy Jackson. According to Coach White, the team was unique because there was a larger team this year and they kept up a winning attitude throughout the season The team's members were small in size but big in talent. That surprised me, because most of them had only a small amount of little league exper- ience. Coach White was assisted by Line Coach John Cornish and Defensive Back Coach Ron White, Jr. THE SOPHOMORE TEAM INCLUDED: ELEVATED: Bob Schneider, Eric Shaller, Mark Steckline, Scott Estep, Dave Lawler, Reed McCluskey.
