A Time To Learn Sophomore Football Injuries and grades. Those two things can make or break a football team. The sopho- more football team was greatly affected by this combination. Grades really hurt us, said Rex Leyman. Early in the season, many starters were lost due to ineligibility. This meant changes in the line up that were also greatly affected by the never ending series of injuries. We had a lot of injuries at the beginning of the season, said Brian Eggle- ston. The everchanging line up led to a 3 and 6 Freshman Football The first day of practice for a freshman football player is one of confusion. They are abruptly introduced to the organized high school football program. Equipment con- sists of leftovers from varsity and sopho- motes. Many freshman haven't played foot- ball before and are introduced to plays, terms and blocks that seem to be written in a foreign language. For these reasons you LL season. It was frustrating said Ken Brown. A few high points in the season existed. The sophomores annihilated Wheatridge 40-0. By the last three games the line up remained constant with the addition of a few freshman players. In those last games the defense averaged 4 turnovers per game, said Coach Wheeler. The season came to an end with players all looking forward to a shot at varsi- ty next year. Coach Fitzmorse concluded, If we had the same group the whole year things would have been different. compete in official and B games. The pur- pose ofthe B games is to allow everyone a chance to play and gain experience. The freshman were 3 and 3 in official play. Their last game of the season was against Beat Creek. The Rams lost a heartbreaker in overtime. All of the games were close. The results could have changed in three plays, said Coach Morgan. s :gtg .. .. sa?- bwfff 'S A 1 1 F Q3 fx' X 5 ,,Ea- ,. in f, '-.-,. - U - ,. s I 4 Top Row: john Gaylord, Steve Coy, Mark Schaller, Mart is.. at ., lisa -'J ' ,W 5 R 2 QMS K - 4l johnson, Ken Brown, Eric Fuchs,john Huflf Steve Butlerg X a H -L iii . ,E - g g- Corey Zuerker.

5 E 1 CRGSS C UNTRY We were disappointed in not going to state, but the several individual competitors who did go performed well, so the season wasn't all that bad. Said Dennis Sheppard after asked of his views on the season. The boys cross-country team averaged fifth in the big invitationals Ccompetitions including 20-30 schoolsl. Mr. Sheppard felt the team was good, but needed more mid- range runners. Green Mountain generally placed two or three runners in the top five of each race, but then the remaining members of the team came in much later, lowering the overall placement. Despite the structural problems suffered during the season, the team managed to place fifth overall at districts. This was not Top Row: john Harden, Ben Cover, Sig Follich, Ke- vin Schaefer.

Front Row, Chris Weeks, Will Dmytriw, Chris Dunn, Kenny Clay, jim O'Connell. 70 4 Cross Country high enough to qualify for State, but showed the team had great possibilities for next year. The team had two outstanding runners who led the team in all the races: Nate Butler, and Kevin Schaffer. Both runners scored in the top three at districts, and quali- fied for All-Conference. Nate, who took first at districts, went to state and placed fourth. This exceptional run qualified Nate as All-State. One point which Mr. Sheppard brought up concerning the teams performance was the fact that the team appears worse than it actually is when it doesn't go to State. As for next year, Mr. Sheppard said, Hopefully next year we'll have more depth as a team, and as a result we should do a lot better. 3 2 5 :::': i 'l-:-::-,-,--A- ,r ,-,--, ,A A V ui MN QM XA A N Mt, Mwvuwa i .,.:., -.,:.: Z E 2 il s 5 af at rg Y 2 3 -1 a Q ti 5: Q r ri 2 E it 2, si r tr il tt - Q3 it at Nate Butler Sprints toward the finish ar districts. in Fl ,H aw, 9 again -i,
