Dale Long, Dave Gillihan, Steve Bartelt, and Tony Clasen listen intently at halftime as Coach Boyd Crawford points out first half mistakes and gives second half instructions. Summers, Claunch All-League Choices Two seniors, Bill Claunch and Dan Summers, made All-League on both of- fense and defense. Claunch made the of- fensive team as fullback and the defen- sive unit as end. Summers made offensive end and defensive safety. Stan Oyama made first team offensive tackle, while center, Jay Child, made second team offense. After the third game, LO's record stood unblemished at 3-0. A disappointing loss to Lakeridge followed by a very im- pressive slaughter of the highly touted Reynolds Lancers typified the ups and downs of the season. “It was just the fact that there were too few bodies, reported Coach Boyd Craw- ford. “The boys that did play did an excel- lent job, but by the end of the season they were simply beat up, he continued as he summarized his feelings as to why LO lost three of its last four games. One of those losses came during the division championship game at the hands of the eventual 1972 State Championship Centennial Eagles (30-6). Inexperience also hampered the Lakers. Lack of turnout caused the JV season to be just 3 games long. Sophomore Kent Howe sprints for a long gain against Hood River as tackle Stan Oyama trails All-League on both offense and defense, the play. LO went on to post a 34-0 victory over the visitors. Bill Claunch gets a rare break from action.

Although backup quarterback, Sophomore Eric Gassner was best known for his work on de- fense. His nailing of the Gresham quarterback for a loss helped LO win. Milwaukie The Dalles Hood River Lakeridge Reynolds Centennial Gresham Barlow West Linn Won 5, Lost 4 Second in Columbia Division All-League end Dan Summers hauls in another pass and romps for good yardage against Reynolds. One of the most feared receivers in the league, Summers usually got two-man coverage from most teams. The Senior standout also made first team All-League on defense as safety.
