The 1984 Cardinal Football Team had a very respectable 7-3 over-all record. The Cards were 6-3 in M.H.A.L. play with the three loses being by a combined total of 14 points. Even in defeat the team was exciting and played with determnation and deslre until the final gun. In non-league play, the Cards were very Impressive beating the 5.C V.A.L. Champion, Milpitas High by a 14-5 score. ln terms of dedication, esprit de corps and team unity, this was the most enjoyable season in recent years. There existed a strong feeling of togetherness and o common attitude of always putting team objectives before personal gains. The team was led by many outstanding players. Five members of the 1984 team were honored as making the first-team all M.H.A.L. These included Lance Lister Irunning backjf Rodney Clay Cdefensive linejf Thaddeus Phillips Cdefensive backj: Mark Gray IQuarterbock2, and Benny Gibbs Clinebackerj. Many others made strong contributions to the team 's success. A strong committment by the seniors provided leadership to the younger players that will be the foundation ofa strong football program that will continue to pro vide future success. Several school records were shattered this season and the entire squad should feel good about their accomplishments. The following is a list of the new records: Over-all scoring: total team offensive yardage: least points yielded most interceptions: and most points scored in a single game. The experiences shared and the camarodarie with which these men played will be a positive influence on them for many years. Congratula- tions on a super season of football and the entire squad should be commended for a job well done. Proud to be a Cardinal, Coach Brubaker 1 Varsity Football
