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.

Its big win was a 12-6 victory over Lakeridge. The “А” team was offense oriented and relied on plenty of touchdowns to notch its winning season. The “В” team concentrated on defense and was able to win by holding the other team down. Leading players for both teams were Scott Baird, Steve Howe, Rick Hunt, and Doug Luetjen. Both teams were fortunate as far as injuries; no one was seriously hurt. One of the most promising Frosh players, Steve Howe, breaks for the end zone.
