FILLY FOOTBALL Seniors win,game finalh ends in more than tie Pllly football has become a tradition at JCHS, and along with this has been the semitradition of the game ending in a scoreless tie. The 1984-85 version of this event, proved to be a major breakthrough for the junior and senior girls, who for the first time in five years managed to score, with the game ending 12-2 in favor of the seniors. The game was played under extremely cold tem- peratures, making play miserable for both teams. The highlight of the contest occured when the seniors gained control of the ball during the third quarter and scored a touchdown. As soon as we made that first touchdown, we all started going wild and that's when the game started to pick up, said Kris Lundeen, 85. The traditional J-Stompers were not on hand for the half-time activities because of problems that had occured at the Junction City Manhat-tan pep rally. The absence of the group forced coronation activities to begin early. Donnie Forsyth was crowned Filly Football King, while Billy Briggs was crowned Junior Prince and Rick Garza captured the title of Sophomore Prince. Other candidates were Vahan Moushegian and John Leonard, 87; Darrin Clouse and John Kelly, 86; and Bryan Atha, Don Ballard and Isao Ameku, 85. Playing the game was a wonderful feeling, never again will look at it (a football game) through the eyes of a spectator, said Tina Polito. Filly Football 27
