THE BEST YET There is an old saying that goes, Anything worth doing is worth doing well. That was exactly what the Kecoughtan football team did as they finished second in the highly competi- tive Peninsula District. The success of the season was a credit to the hard work of not only the players and coaches but the cheerleaders, adminis- tration, and student body as well. Head coach Howard Jackson with the assistance of coaches John Pauls, Tom Millen, Gordon White, and Jerry Hall guided the Warriors to an impressive 8-2 record. The only losses suffered was an early setback to Menchville and a heartbreaking 14-12 defeat at the hands of eventual state champion Hampton. These defeats, however, were outnumbered by the eight victories. Highlights of the season included victories over rivals Bethel and Phoebus along with a Homecoming shutout of Lafayette. An offense, which featured a balance of passing and run- ning, rolled up a total of 214 points in the ten games played while the stingy Warrior defense held opponents to only 87 points. Several players were rewarded their fine performances.

Scott and Lance also set a record on Kecoughtan's home course at Gosnold's Hope Park. The team got off to a slow start los- ing their first three meets to Warwick, Ferguson and Menchville. The Harri- ers then staged a comeback with two strong victories over Lafayette and Bethel. Next came losses to Hampton and Denbigh. These defeats were countered by the team's narrow victory over Phoebusg the score of this meet was tied after the first five runners of each team had finished, but Junior Sean Butler's sixth place finish tipped the scales toward the Warriors. This left the team with a 3-5 regular season record. Following the completion of the regu- lar season, the Warriors competed in Scott Walker leads the pack w right on his heels.
