(s With an 8-1 record, you have to say it was a good season, commented Coach Frank Guttman referring to the junior var- sity football team. The team had a great attitude. They worked hard and improved each week, he concluded. After a 4 ' ' -8 victory over Lanier, the Raiders suffered a disappointing 8-30 loss from rival LBJ. The team peaked in the middle of the season with a 41-14 win over Johnston and a 35-0 win over McCallum, said Coach Guttman. The Raiders won their final games of the season 18-0 over Anderson, 33-0 over Crockett, and 20-18 over Travis. According to Coach Guttman, the leading offensive linemen were Stacey Bell, Jeff Katon, and Don McCoy. The leading defensive linemen were Katon, Bell, Carl Cannon, Karl Jenkins, and Rusty Boykin. The year ' s leading rushers were Vernon Hadnot with 864 yards, and Charles Ster- ling with 515 yards. The Reagan freshman football team also had a good season. Even though we lost three games, I definitely feel that this was a successful season, said Coach Dennis Ceder. Coach Ceder pointed out that all the games were lost by six or fewer points. Despite these losses, the freshman team had high scoring victories against Johnston 38-0, and Anderson 30-0 in pre- season play. The players learned what they needed to learn on the freshman level. They learned the fundamentals and they learned about winning, concluded Coach Ceder. Junior varsity player Charles Sterling runs with the ball on a quarterback keeper easily, 47-8. By the end of the season. iheJV team had eight wins and one loss, half against Lanier in the first JV district game September 10. Reagan won the game a game behind LBJ.
