Gridders' teamwork earns first place tie. This year's varsity gridders used teamwork to get a first-place tie in the conference and an eleventh place ranking in the state. Not blessed with much size, the team depended on quickness and determination. As a unit, the offense played the triple-option better than any previous team. The outstanding defense was a product of combined effort of the play- ers. Coach Larry Smith said this year's de- fensemen were the best gang tacklers in the history of the school. Four boys, Rick Borow- ski, '74, Steve Clark, Tim Donahue, and Mark King, all '73, made the all-conference team. Helped by a few forfeits the J.V. team com- piled an undefeated and untied season. The sophomores had a disappointing season, but showed promise in the running of the triple- option. Two of their losses were by just a few points. Both Freshman teams had trouble at the beginning of the season, but got untracked later on and ended up with winning records. Brent Branca hands the ball off, then continues down the line, carrying out the rest of the play. eeegeeeeeveaeyeee F .XE 5 x r w ts- Q ti w t j ravi, QT' .BQ s, A VARSITY FOOTBALL, FRONT ROW: M.
