Fish strive for l.V. positions When school opened in September, hundreds of freshman poured into the unfamiliar high-rise, frightened of what lay ahead in the coming year. Fortunately, a group of young athletic boys found a significant way to be a part of Klein. This group was the 1983-84 Freshman football team. With the help of experienced coaches Herbert Allen, Payton Mullins, Richard Perkins and James Pool, seventy-one players practiced every day after school, conditioning themselves for the upcoming games. The Blue team played extremely well this season losing only one game, with it's primary strength being an abundance of players. The coaches hope that a great number of the boys will be recruited to the J.V. team next year. Certainly, these freshmen found a way to get really involved at Klein.
