Football has never been one of Ma- zama's better points, but this year the team started moving in the right di- rection. The year started off as usual with the Vikings falling to Henley, Crater, and Grants Pass. But, every- thing turned around when Mazama hosted the Klamath Union Pelicans at Modoc Field. In a dramatic game, the Vikings slaughtered the Pelicans twenty to seven. The crowd at the game went wild, for not only did the win break a long losing streak, but also was the First time in history that Mazama emerged as the victor of the Canal Bowl. Although Mr. Everitt’s team con- tinued to struggle through the season, it was getting stronger all the time. On Homecoming night, against the Eagle Point Eagles, Mazama was victorious for the second time during the season. This victory was the First Mazama has ever had on Homecoming night, and it made the festivities even merrier. Because of their hard work and de- termination, eight Mazama players were named to the Southern Oregon Conference Honorable Mention Team. Included in these eight were Five Seniors: Mark Richardson, Glen Franke, Don Shallcross, Orville Mor- ris, and Doug Mauch. The remaining three were Juniors Eric DeWitt, Gary Cooper, and Paul Pestinger. All in all, this football season was one of new beginnings. Most of the players seem to agree that this year built a good foundation for future seasons. CoMFOF THE»MAZAMA VIKINGS jj . Varsity, JV Football-65
