1981 Senior Football Players The senior football players for the 1980-81 season put forth a lot of effort and time, both during and after school, practicing and learning plays. The lower classmen look to the seniors for guidance and reassurance when things aren ' t going as well as they should. This puts a good bit of responsibility on these boys. Most of them have been in football for nine years, and have contributed a lot to the Lake Hamilton football teams from Jr. High to Sr. High, and finally in their final year as Senior Wolves. They have tried to set a good example for the rest of the team and have accomplished a lot during the past nine years. Lydell Lively and Richard C heek were chosen by the other players as team captains for the year. They deserve recognition for the leadership and spirit they have exhibited.
