CC Team Takes League — Again The cross-country team has completed it's first season under it's new head coach, Dave Sears. Mr. Sears replaces for- mer head coach, and author of Madison cross-country, Mr. Don Strother. Mr. Sears had served ably as Strother's assistant for the past several seasons and at one time acted as head coach while Strother took a year at college in order to get a degree. Mr. Sears is now assisted by Mr. Jack Pavesich, former Perry head coach. Upon announcing his resig- nation to his team in Au- gust, Mr. Strother gave both Sears and Pavesich the highest rating as Coaches. The team went on to cap- ture it's third consecutive league title. It also sent Paul Kershaw and Ralph Rogers to the district com- petition in Akron's Good- year Park. The team also participated in several invitationals this year, such as the Willoughby South, and the Mentor Invitationals. Many or the area's better teams were in attendence.
