The team finished its season with a 4- 6 record beating Chandler, Scottsdale, Chapparal and Coronado. Coach Urchike said the team's mistakes were both physical and mental. Coach Urchike said once the team fumbled eight times in one game, one of which was run back for a touchdown. In the same game the Padres threw three interceptions, one of which was run back to the 5-yard line and eventually scored upon. Mountain View is the only team that really beat us, Coach Urchike said.

During the season Whipple ran for six touchdowns in one game while he only handled the ball seven times.

To top off a very good season the defensive backfield intercepted more passes than the opposition caught all year. Coach Dennis Powell attributes the Frosh B football team's 2-6-1 record to our own mistakes. The team managed to defeat Rhodes and Fremont while tying with Chapparel. Against Tempe and McClintock we played good ball games but made some mistakes and lost. During the McClintock game the gridders were ahead with two minutes in the game left. The Chargers managed to complete a long pass and steal victory from the Padres. lt was against Rhodes that the Padres scored to win on a 92-yard pass with just two seconds left in the game.
