A WINNING SEASON The Dynamic Duo . . . 5 Mike Boyce and Doug g Carr. The 1983 edition of the Eagles Football team, with a record of 5 wins, 1 loss and 2 ties, was the best in recent years at IJHS. The Eagles had an excellent offense, led by quarterback Sang Han and running backs Brian Taylor, Ernie Parker and Pete Lang. The offensive line was anchored by such stalwarts as Mike Boyce, Jeff Lopretto and Jason Barefoot. The full house T offense was very productive with an average of 225 yards and 15 points per game, plus a total of 1800 yards for the season. Coach Ludwig's defense was one of, if not, the best in the city. The defense was captained by Mike .L I TD!! Catch by JBSOY1 Boyce a T linebacker. Other outstanding players ' I Barefoot. were Jason Barefoot, Pete Lang and Jeff Lopretto. Defensive backs Bruce Kelley, Pierre May, and Doug Carr also contributed their skills to a fine defense. The defense limited opponents to just 102 yards and 6 points per game, for a total of less than 900 yards total offense for the seasons. Coach Dorland said of this year's team, a lot of fun to coach. Excellent field leadership, and an intense desire to win displayed by such players as Taylor, Boyce, Barefoot, Sang Han, Parker, Lang, and Lopretto made the coaching staff look good, and this season one of our best. You will be hearing or reading about these athletes again and again as they continue on to high school in the Beach district. Good luck to all of them. Jai.- First Row: J, Renager, T. Horvatic, E.
