Six And Four Season Sets A A six and four season isn ' t altogether that bad considering That we could have done better, stated Coach Miller, head coach of Mishawaka ' s Varsity Football team. Miller also adds, Too many mistakes by a good team lead to too many losses, losses that could have been avoided. No one could figure it out. The mistakes lasted all season. The Elkhart Central and Penn games were two of the best games the Cavemen played because of the stiff competition the teams provided each other, and they presented good spectator games. We played a good game against Penn be- cause they were our rival. Elkhart Cen- tral ' s game was good because we stuck with them for three and a half quarters when they were number one. The score was tied seven to seven in the second half of the Elkhart Central game as a result of Mishawaka ' s deter- mined offense against the Blazers. An onside kick was recovered by Brad Flo- ra which opened the second half of the game. Tom Klaer gained 83 yards in rushing, and snared an eight yard pass from Doug Kocsis in traffic for a touch- down. Ed Ellsasser blocked a Blazer punt to give the Cavemen the ball at the Vince Mammolenti prepares to hike the hall 20 Football

Path For The Future Central 40 yard line, but the Cavemen fumbled two plays later and the Blazers scored. One senior on the Cavemen team, Fred Keip, grabbed four passes for 52 yards. Joey Jones intercepted a pass thrown by David Schnell, Blazer ' s quarterback, to highlight the Cavemen ' s defense. Unfortunately we lost to Cen- tral by a score of 28-16. The Cavemen played Penn Kingsmen to a draw on the field, but four crucial fumbles and two pass interceptions helped the Kingsmen to a victory of 21- 13. Coach Miller said, We could have beat them. We let the mistakes beat us again. We haven ' t made this many mis- takes in years. I just can ' t be figure it out. Quarterback Doug Kocsis threw Tom Klaer two good passes for 33 yards to start the drive and then hit Bret Romfo with a 32 yard pass for a touch- down. Our defense did everything they could, said Coach Miller. Our kids played their hearts out and we did as good a job as anyone in trying to knock them off, but we just self-destructed.
