They Know How To Win! Let's hear it for the boys! The sopho- more football team showed more talent this year than in previous years. Their 9-1 record and winning the country cham- pionship proved this. The team lost their first game to Pomo- na, but won the remainder of their games, and went on to beat Pomona in the cham- pionship game. There was a steady im- provement made by the players through- out the entire season. Advice given by David Archuleta to people going out for football was to lift weights every day. The coach this year was Dave Hale. When asked what advice he would give the kids trying out for football he said, It's a great experience for them, and it has nothing to do with their size and abili- ty as much as it has to do with the size of their heart. Not only did the sophomore team man football team proved to be outstand- ing also. They went undefeated with one tied and only gave up six points the entire season. With Mr. White as the coach, it's no wonder. The players felt that Mr. White was a good coach and they learned a lot from him. He worked them hard and got them in shape so they were ready for the sea- son. He also knew how and when to get the team motivated for a game. The freshmen played such teams as North Arvada, Evergreen, Bear Creek, Ken Caryl, and Deer Creek. The scri- mage game against Oberon was the best and most exciting for Scott Paquette be- cause, lt was the first game that an op- ponent almost scored on us, and we stopped themf' Spirits were high among the players this season, and rightfully so.

The team was able to get the medal in the state finals due to their good work in their previous meets. They took first at three of their meets, the Jeffco North and South Division Races, the Fort Morgan Invitational, and the Jefferson County Meet. The team also had a second place finish at the League Sophomore meet, and a third place finish at the Rocky Mountain Invitational meet.
