PUFFERS Do a mighty fine job. Powderpuff football was different this year than it has been in the past. Rather than playing against another Mazama Team, we combined our Ju- niors and Seniors into one team, and played KUHS. We did the same with our Freshman and Sophomores. Our teams devoted many hours of hard work toward the game, both in and out of practice. We not only developed our individual skills, but we also developed personal friendships as well. Our coaches were a tremendous help to all of us, and we feel they did an out standing job. We would like to express a special “THANK YOU” to all of them for their endless patience and dedica- tion. Although the players on both teams were competitive, and the final score was close, we still feel that the games outcome should have been just a little bit different .. . maybe if Kim Hamp- ton’s shorts wouldn’t have been torn off, Mazama would have had some points on the board! “TEAM CAPTAINS” LESLIE COLE JULIE NELSON 26 POWDERPUFF

This years season wasn’t too good on the scoreboard, but as a team we made some thing out of it. In the locker room and on the field we had more team uni- ty than in past years. Everybody hung together and never gave up, even when we had Saturday practices. We suffered first team injuries all through the sea- son which hurt us. Mike Bowden, start- ing fullback had a broken ankle. Steve Pridemore, starting tailback suffered from a concussion which resulted in a pinched nerve in his shoulder. Mitch Mueller starting at tight end had a frac- 1981 VIKINGS TOUCHDOWN AWAY tured arm. Bill Schmeck, starting at de- fensive tackle had back problems and was unable to play. Even with all these injuries the sec- ond teamers and the rest of the first teamers were eager to play and tried their best. This left us with a pretty young team. We had some individuals that showed their talent and willing- ness to play, but people didn’t realize it because of our record. Jack Hall had a good season, he started at QB and strong safety. Mike Rossetto had a very fine season, he started at offensive guard and outside linebacker (DE). Jer- ry Wiedeman, a transfer from Crater, also had a fine season at wide receiver and cornerback. Mazamas record should improve next season. Then there were the coaches. They really helped the team and gave us something to shoot for. Remember the time when Coach Mike Kern spilled his lunch all over himself at the films. And when Coach Joe Malkinson would rock out to ACDC before practice. Coach Art Ochoa would come to practice with his friend .Mr. Bud. Coach Don Lentz showing his eagerness to play football by grunting and chewing grass. Coach Ken Young throwing his 60 yd. wound- ed duck passes to Malkinson. And then there was Coach Dan Fast, always look- ing for the easy minors. “THE TEAM CAPTAINS OF 81” Paulson, Rossetto, Pridemore iV!
