JV, Frosh gridders achieve Norseman standards The 1975 Junior Varsity team lashed into fury 0n the field, where unyielding excitement was released. The team proved to be the most talented J.V. team since 1971 by coming in second place in the Bi-County League. Co- Captains Harry Gemeund, Steve Arthur, and Kevin Shanley led the team to a spectacular 6-1 record. The team should make great contributions to the 1976 Varsity Football pro- gram? declared Coach Sumbera. The team was under the expert coaching skills of Coach Frank Sumbera and Assis- tant Coach Bob Collins. The hard hitting and fast moving Freshman team also did a fantastic job. Their supreme talent was demonstrated in the North vs. South game where Freshmen won 8-0. This years team coached by two fine coaches, Coach Dick Grammatico and Coach Bill Kurolvech. The Freshmen now have the experience to go into Junior Varsity Football where we are sure to have a great team of prime athletes. The two teams were supported by their classes, and were giyen the utmost respect for their skill and enthusiasm. The football teams have a great sense of unity that reflected on the audience which brought more school spirit. Sorrie people don,t realize the time and constant and sometimes even difficult training of these fine players. They put in time and eHort to represent our school and for this reason . we should credit our Football players. ABOVE: Iohn Bmcia dashes for another touchdown.
