I Frosh Football Munster Lowell 6 Opp 6 Griffith 0 20 Merrillville 0 40 Taft 6 18 Lake Central 8 25 This year ' s freshman football team did not have a winning season, but they did learn to do up-downs while they learned fundamentals. Among the outstanding features of the team were the blocking of Pat Dougherty and the running of Bob Brummet. These boys could devel¬ op into one of the best varsity teams Lowell has ever had. Both Coach Skvara and Coach Hurst feel that greater successes can be ex¬ pected from them in the future. DETILS FIRST ROW: K. Shellhart, A. Springsteen, M. Kasparian, J. Husiar, M. Sampson, J.

J.V. Football The Junior Varsity football player is a lonely individual. His games are not well attended, he is not the dar¬ ling and hero of the school, cheer¬ leaders do not chase him around for dates, and he feels little recognition for the battering he takes both in practice and in games. His is a life of silent striving with a higher goal always to be reached. The J. V. footballer works hard; just as hard as the varsity player in practice; he works harder in many games be¬ cause the J.V. squad is always un¬ derstaffed and not as well equipped. But he continues to work and sweat and bleed because ahead, somewhere next year or the year after, THERE IS THE VARSITY. AND EVEN MORE THAN THE J.V. YEARNS FOR THE VAR¬ SITY, THE VARSITY NEEDS THE J.V. TOMORROW ' S HERO. „» ‘ $ ' ■H 1 . ■ ; I m -

STANDING: John Sheets, Dan Shumaker, Coach Ouwenga. 1971 : Disappointing Season Although 1971 was a disappointing season for the roadrunners, all was not lost. It should be noted that the conference was one of the toughest in the state and two teams from the conference placed in the state meet. Senior Ken Stuart was this year ' s most valuable runner, while Sopho¬ more Dan Rust was the most im¬ proved runner. Much spirit was displayed by the team during the year. Most of this can be attributed to the unpredict¬ able” co-captains, Steve Schwanke and Dane Schuyler. The two co¬ captains ' leadership and humor kept the team going during the sea¬ son. Between the laughing, the warm-up calisthenics, and the soc¬ cer and touch football games, work was accomplished. At the end of the season many runners had cut their times tremendously. In the sectionals this improvement showed up as we beat a few of the teams that had beaten us previously. During the season many under¬ classmen gained the experience needed to provide the nucleus for a strong team in the future. Through guts and determination, these young runners will develop into fine athletes. Page 26 sponsored by Stuhlmacher Soil Service
