BEFORE the season started, the newspapers and towns people thought that Montpelier would be a good club, but not a contender for any cham- pionship. Head coach Burt Morrison, and his assistants Paul Simpson and Larry Saltarelli took their prospective candidates and started to mold them into a team. They worked hard, even during the hot August days, and Mont- pelier waited for this team to prove itself. As the season progressed and the wins piled up, the people began to realize what the coach- es and the team knew all along — there was a winning team in Montpelier. With the shouts of Green is Mean” and Green Machine” from the fans, a pride grew within the team. This, along with their desire to win took them to a six wins, one loss and one tie record and the right to compete in the State Football Championship. It was a team in every sense of the word. There were no standouts. It was a group of guys acting as one with a common goal — not individual recognition, but a chance at the State Championship. Top: Solons on defensive.
