Injuries Plague Manatee Varsity With the Hurricanes rated by the pre-season polls as one of the top contenders for the Western Conference crown, and with the return of 2l letter- men, it seemed as though the team and its coaches would have a very successful season. Some 95 boys out for football, when school start- ed, strengthened the fact that the fans and polls could very well be right. Unfortunately, an unprece- dented number of injuries prevented the predictions from becoming facts. The Hurricanes opened their season with an im- pressive victory over Sarasota. The tide changed rather quickly when the 'Canes lost the next six games, scoring only T9 points in those contests. The Varsity defeated non-conference Ocala, and then lost the last two games of the season including the Homecoming game. The Tommy Paul Award, which is given to the Most Valuable Player of the Homecoming game, was given to guard Wayne Dimond. This brought to a - climax his three years as a football player for the Hurricane Varsity team. Barry Frederickson receives a pass in the end zone to score a touchdown. Head coach and athletic director, Bob Stewart is assisted by Chad Choate, line coach, Bill Yates, end coach, Charles Woodson, line coach, and Bob Milby, backfield coach.

Hurricanes Have long, Hard eason lt was a trying season for Head Coach Bob Stewart and Coaches Bill Yates, Chad Choate, Bob Milby, and Charles Woodson, and one that they will not soon forget, despite good performances by individual players. The 1O0SK: Award is given to the boys who, in the opinion of the coaches, played the best game. Recipients of this award were Brian Anclresen, Joe Spivey, Van O'Quinn, Bill Griggs, Wayne Dimond, Mike Mallonee, Rick Hunt, and Chuck Brown. Although they did not receive the 10006 Award, the effort given by such players as Kip Ledbetter, Tom and Don Coarsey, Barry Fredrickson, and Elliott Perny helped support the Hurricanes.
