Five, four, three, two, one. As the last seconds were counted down to end the 1975 football season, all the fireworks seemed to disappear from the lives of the Varsity players. For many of the players, thoughts of more running, weight lifting and exercising came to mind. They looked toward to Spring Training and prepared for the annual Red and White Game. Hopes for a superb season and district title could still be sparked. But for 2-1 Mustangs, these images had come and gone. I felt like the contribution by the seniors was excellent. Overall, they were one of the best groups l've worked with, said Coach Williamson. Memories of high school football are what is left to these senior athletes, and no better place is there to rehash these memories than at the inevitable Football Banquet. Delano Womac headed the show under the title of Master of Ceremonies. With the theme song from Patton providing the background music and enhancing the atmosphere, the seniors presented. action highlights. The highlights consisted of many of the candid moments throughout the season. Many players were fortunate to be distinctly honored at the banquet. Steve Demirjian, Pat MacMillian and Tom Silva were elected by district coaches to the second string All-District team. Richard Nelson, Carl Arendale and Steve Parker were elected to the first string All-District team. These players were introduced and commended for their accomplishments. Highlighting the entire evening were the presentations of The Landrum Award to Carl Arendale and The Fighting Heart Award to Andy Cochrum. Varsity players selected Cochrum as the recipient for his leadership and desire to win. Arendale summed the evening up by saying, It was a happy but sad occasion because it was the last time we would be together as a team.

Sweat, grit, five-five For Ronnie Redmon, Will Taylor and the Iunior Varsity squad, it was a season that ended in disappointment. The season started on a high note as Memorial defeated Northshore 28-0. The IV team faced South Houston in their second game and suffered a 22-13 loss. Twenty-one points were more than sufficient to ride over Northbrook. In this game, the IV defensive team issued the second of our shut-outs that were to come. Memorial met Conroe and was handed its second loss with a score of I4-6. Things seemed to get better for the Mustangs in the next two weeks. The Redmon-Taylor squad combined great offensive and defensive efforts to beat Iersey Village 21-O and Spring Woods 34-0. The IV team stood tall with a 4-2 record as they rolled into the second half of the season. The team looked toward the second half of season play with confidence and favorable optimism only to have dampers put on their spirits as they lost to Stratford 20-0. Cypress-Fairbanks was next on the Mustangs' agenda. The predicament in which the IV players found themselves seemed to grow larger as they lost to Cy-Fair 7-40. The Mustangs trudged on to face Spring Branch in their annual rivalry. Memorial rose to the occasion as they defeated the Branch 8-7. Memorial now stood with a 5-4 record. The team had hoped of securing a winning season in their final bout with Westchester, however, the season ended as the IV team was defeated 6-14. Lots of injuries and losing players to the Varsity squad hurt us in the last part of the season, said Remond. The team can be proud of its record because their efforts were given unsparinglyf' said Redmon. During the Cy-Fair game, Lavin stops a playe in his tracks.
