24 Last year's team, led by Kevin Haverly tnow on the tennis squad at Northerm and Mike Phillips, posted a 12-6 slate, while winning seven and losing three in the NKAC. The outstanding juniors last year were Bob Farrell and Greg Dishon. Farrell's record was 11 and 4, and he was 1-0 in the NKAC. Dishon was 12-6. Mr. Spurlock thinks 1976 will be a rebuilding year because of the loss of five experienced seniors in 1974. Several returning players, in addition to Farrell and Dishon, show promise. They are juniors, Rick Howard and Darrell Hutton, and sophomore Todd Goodridge. Also, he has three very good young players, freshmen Robert Marshall and Jeff Ward, and 8th grader, Roger Andrews. Mr. Spurlock speculated that a girls' tennis team might also be started in the near future.

26 DD HUDDLE! The Bulldog team plans their strategy for the next play. The 1975 Bulldog football team went through several frustrating phases, ending with a record of 4 wins, 6 losses. Not one to make excuses, most people can see why Coach Lou Cynkar might be justified in making a few after some of the losses the Dogs suffered. To further clarify this, the coach replied, In the ten games we played, we were winning eight of them in the last quarter, only to be defeated by one point twice and five points once. In other words, seven points kept us from having a 7-3 record, which would have been the third best record in Northern Kentucky this season. We did beat Dixie 14-0, and they were the District representative for the State Championship. But the loss to Boone Co. 12-7, as time ran out for us on the one yard line, really kept us from going downstate. However, the season was not a total downer. Coach Cynkar smiled as he reminisced on the reserve football team's fine season. We are really looking forward to next year. The reserve team was undefeated, and allowed only fifteen points, while scoring one hundred eighty. MM WWI Our i941 quarterback, Mike Moore, attempts to hit one of the Bulldog ends downfield.
