Frosh A football team finished its 78- 79 season with a 6-1-1 record, losing only 'to McClintock and tying with Casa Grande. Coach Bob Cornell said, The kids were just super. We had good athletes and we were really proud of them. Coach Cornell cited Loren Whipple, Charles Kinnamon and Don Dunnigan as doing an outstanding job offensively. During the season Whipple ran for six touchdowns in one game while he only handled the ball seven times. Defensively, Coach Cornell cited Richard Vizzera, Alex Gomez, Darryl Turner and Sam Zamora as doing an outstanding job. lt was Sam Zamora who kicked a 40-yard field goal to capture the school record. 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.
