They started off slowly and never seemed to gain any momentum. There were some promising players on this years team, but it seemed that the team needed more than talent to make any prog- ress. Some of the outstanding players in- cluded Mike Boykin, Jeff Wiechert, and halfback Claude Walker. Their contribu- tions were impressive, but without true teamwork our mustangs couldn't seem to get it together enough to win. Some games were close, including a heartbreaking overtime loss to Walt Whit- man, a team ranked fairly high in the state. These and other setbacks seemed to be the framework of the season. Although the scorebooks may not show it, each player worked very hard, and it is too bad more positive recognition didn't come from such a hard working team. ' A 'L , .. or ul W W A!
