Sophomores have future in football The goal of the Sophomore Football Team this year was to get the sophomores together to play as a team- something that hasn't been done for seven years. lt apparently worked because the team had the best record in nine years, with a total of three wins and three losses. Two of the best qualities the team had working in its favor was its willingness to work on its own and the ability to work harmoniously together, which is unusual, but necessary for ony good team, accord- ing to Coach Mick DiRe. Although the majority of players were average in physical size and speed, there were some quick linemen and good backs. Coach DiRe said that all adapted well to different positions, some of which the individuals had never played before. Assistant Coach Dan Holden summed it all up by saying, They were an outstanding group of individuals who enioyed playing football. l .
