B-Team Football Scores B-Teamers Lose Twice, Share Title With o 44 to 22 rout of McCollum to start off the season. Coach Moberg, Coach Craig and their B-team appeared to be off to another winning season. The tone of the season changed as the Raiders fell in defeat to Killeen and broke the 26 game B-team winning streak. However, the Raiders recovered to finish the season with only one more defeat and secured season record of 7-2. Coach Moberg sum- med up the season, They played way beyond expectations. They were little with- out a lot of speed. According to Coach Moberg, the B-team made up for this defi- cit because, They were determined not to have a sorry season. The B-team totaled 188 points this sea- son with David Guerrero as leading scorer with 46 points. On the other side of the line of scrimmage, Elvis Shoaf led in tack- les with 69. The offense was always able to move the football, with the exception of the Anderson game. The defense was slow in starting the season but they came on strong towards the end of the year. Coach Moberg cited their defeat to Anderson as the turning point of the sea- son. According to Coach Moberg, the B- team suffered their defeat to Anderson because they were not ready to play mentally. After that let-down, the B-team responded by defeating Lanier, a tough competitor, by 8 points. The season was characterized by hard work that paid off as the B-team tied with Travis for a co-championship of the district crown. This year marks the sixth consecu- tive year in a row that the B-team has either won the crown or tied for it.

Experience Takes Its Toll on Freshmen Freshman football fortunes were laid in the capable hands of new head Coach Frank Guttman. He characterized the sea- son as “a bunch of hills and valleys. Coach Guttman added, McCollum was our best game because we did everything right, however, consistency was lacking the rest of the year. The fish started with only 13 players with junior high experience. Therefore much time was spent adapting new people to new positions. According to Coach Guttman, the main problems were depth and lack of experience. In the past the team came over intact but this year we had to adjust people to different positions. The offense tallied 188 points during the season, with E. J. Pleasant and Jimmy Sutton as leading rusher and leading scorer, respectively. The defense was char- acterized by a big defensive line. The lead- ing tacklers were Tommy Weaver and Dennis Pannell. Probably the best defen- sive game was in a 6-0 loss to LBJ. At the beginning of the football season, the freshman team faced a rough year ahead of them. The students from Pearce and Webb who would ordinarily come to Reagan only now had to be split between Reagan and the new high school, LBJ. This split caused the freshmen to start out the year with relatively little depth and very lit- tle experience. In spite of this, the young Raiders attacked the year with determina- tion.
