. L. A l VARSITY FOOTBALL EAGLES FALL SHGRT IN STATE PLAYOFFS The 1979 varsity football season, highlighted by a 46-6 romp over Monroe, could scarcely have been better. ln their eight wins the Eagles outscored their oppo- nents by an average of 30.6 points. Behind the ex- perience of quarterback John Cooley the Eagles gained over 3,000 yards in just 10 games. The Eagles entered the Trico League championship with Waldport accompanied by a 7-0 record and a slight favoritism to win. ln the mud and driving rain the Irish ended the Eagles' chance for an undefeated season, 20-0. The Eagles rebounded well and thrashed the Crow Cougars 42-13 in the regular season finale. They had already earned a place in the state playoffs by de- feating the Siletz Warriors 34-0 in the homecoming game. The Eagles entered the tournament as the Trico League's second place representative. Harrisburg traveled to Scio and were heavily favored over the 6- 3 Loggers.
