Looking back, a 1-5-1 re- cord might not represent a successful season, but there were some victories won in areas other than on the foot- ball field. According to Coach Thomas, half of winning is the belief that you can win, and it is this spirit which he attempted to instill into his players.

Entering his first year as J.V. coach, Mr. Thomas was given the task of preparing his players both mentally and physically for next season. In this respect a victory was gained; for many of the players. at the season’s start, were young, inexperi- enced, and undeveloped, but by season’s end, were fine football players.
