74: ;-W 'ww-xm, e u ,yV'J J Wait a minute, Coach. these guys are really after me!!! Lowry coaches discussing their view of the matter. Togetherness Pulls Bucks Through Tough Season As the Buckaroos opened their 1982 season, everyone could tell a good year was on the verge of hap- pening. They won their first four games, an event that has never tak- eh place at Lowry before. During gthose weeks, Lowry was in the top 'htfive of AA Division I. The next two games resulted in defeats, after i which Lowry came back to trample the Lovelock Mustangs for Home- coming. Although they were defeat- ed in their finaI games, they ended the season with a 5-5 record. Despite their losses, the Buckaroos' games a proved to be exciting in the toughest AA division in the state. i, 18 Sports At the start of the season, team- mates and coaches needed to be- come more compatable with each other. A week into the season, the Buckaroos began to work as a team rather than a pack of individuals. Practice was hard, the hours were long, and with double- days behind them, and the regular season begin- ning to unfold, the Buckaroos felt they couldn't go wrong. Their dreams and desires carried them through the year, and the end of the season brought a closeness between the team members and coaches similar to that of a family. Preparing for the Fernley game was a solemn ritual.

Complicated HO A complicated offense and strong de- fense led the Bucks through one of their toughest seasons ever. Although they per- formed as a group. there were many strong individual players. Chris Vesco's up-the-middle drives led the offense for 96 carries and 426 yards. Graham and Wright also handed the ball off to Mike Upshaw, who had the speed to go both inside and outside 125 times for 618 yards. Another way they moved the ball was passing. Doug Graham threw 31 completions for 437 yards; in Wright's five starts as quarterback, he had 19 attempts for 75 yards. Receiving the baH 10 times for 145 yards, Earroll Evick was the sec- ond top scorer with 21 points: Wright led with 24. Sean Peraldo had seven recep- tions for a total of 105 yards.
