in proves; JV Football I Frosik E am w limmg Season The junior varsity football team got off to a slow start, losing their first three games. A 22-20 win over Bend got the team untracked as they won two of their last four contests, including a 34-8 stomping of Burns. Coaching the JV team through a new offensive system were Lowell Gilliland, Don Hopps and Jeff Sullivan. Under the guidance of Ron Phillips, Small Fire Hawk and Paul Phillips and freshman football players turned a winning 4-3 season. Wins over Crook County, Grant Union, Cascade and Burns propelled the team to its winning season. The team was led by Ralph Vigil who was awarded as the most outstanding freshman football player. Ralph was also voted most inspirational and honorary captain. Kim Montee received best defensive back honors along with being named hardest worker, most consistent, and best offensive back honors went to Randall Leach. Thirty-four players started the season but only 21 finished. Coach Ron Phillips commented, The reason I enjoy the freshman football program so much is being able to watch the players learn and grow in knowledge and skill during the season.’’ “As the weeks passed the most pleasing thing that happened was that some of the players who started slowly improved. We had many new faces playing at the end of the season.” JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL MHS OPP 6 Crook County 26 8 Grant Union 22 6 22 Redmond Bend It 20 12 Crook County 20 12 Redmond 13 34 Burns 8 Season Record 2-5 TOP: Freshman Ralph Vigil drags an opponent along as he gains yardage.
