S9HBBHHHBDBHHM ¥ B-Team Football Posts Season of 7 Wins, 2 Losses We expected the team to go undefeated this year because of the fine depth we had, remarked Coach Pat Pennington on the 1968 Raider B-Team. Led by captains Mike Ciccarelli, Gary Valdez and Robert Wright, the B-Team moved through their first five games undefeated. The Raiders met their first defeat at the hands of the McCallum Knights. This loss was a blow to the team after having defeated the Knights at the first of the season. The only other loss for the B-Team came when the Raiders played the Maroons for the second time. The Raiders resoundingly defeated the Maroons at the first of the season. The B-Team finished 3rd in the city behind McCallum and Austin, who tied for first place. The Maroons and Knights each had only one loss and one tie, while Reagan ' s team rec- ord showed two losses. Offensive standouts in the backfield included John- ny Woods, David Halbrook and Mike Ciccare lli. On the line, Bill Osmond, Roger Roeglin (before he moved up to varsity), and Ed McGee did an ex- tremely fine job of blocking. The Raiders scored 286 points on their opponents. Defensively, Robert Wright and Walter Bartosh led the team in tackles, assisted by Larry Sisler, Greg Verheyden and Gary Raven. The strength of the defense is shown by the fact that only 54 points were scored on the Raiders. Coach Wally Freytag assisted Coach Pennington on the sideline in the 1968 season. Managers in this winning season for the B-teamers were Alan Flentge, Mike Butler and Jeff Smith.
