Coach Jerry Gillett was very pleased with the season. The bulk of our team will be back next year and should be even more competitive than this year, he said. Sophomore Tim Bell spoke for the team saying. Coach Gillett is the best! Knute Rockne stand aside . . . here comes Jolly Jerry Gillett. Boys ' Cross Country HOLT OPPONENT 1 77 L.
