Wildcats fought hard to win but their efforts only helped during half of their games. They won their first game at home with a score of 39-14 against Memorial. The reserves then went on to a deflating loss against Bosse; they lost by only one touchdown. MD came back from a one win — one loss record to a two-game winning streak. Wildcats defeated North 12-7, and then went on to beat Boon ville by a score of 14-7. Although they had improved their record considerably, they turned around and lost the next three games bringing their record to 3-4. They lost to Castle, Reitz, and Harrison. The season came to an end with a win over Central 18-12. We didn ' t have a good season but it was fun. We did have some high time along with the losses, sophomore Andy Voelker commented about the season. — Tina Boarman READY!SET!HUT!HUTI: The mighty Wildcat team prepared to snap the ball during the Central game on October 22.

Give up? Never! 18 What was three words long, full of freshman boys and great? Give up? Well it didn ' t; it was the freshman foot- ball t eam, and it did everything but give up. The team ' s record was 3-5. Coaches Carl Voegel and Nick Alcorn celebrated their wins and backed their losses. We really improved towards the end of the year; we were really good. We almost beat number one ranked Bosse. The team was really good and they (team mem- bers) deserved all the credit they got, said Coach Voegel. The team had good thoughts about the coaches too. The coaches were super; they helped us when we needed it, and pushed us when we needed it. We really did well this year, commented team member Mark Schafer. The team was led by quarterbacks Robby Meyer and Dennis Straub. Other noted players, according to Coach Voegel, were King Nguyen, Darrin Knight, Greg Weinzap- fel, Eric Kohut, and Jim Little. — Mike Hammers HOMECOMING HUT: MD put the ball in action against Bosse enroute to a 24-14 victor .
