,jf 'l V. Clwzmpiomlrzlb -J if Us in I : 1. ll The North Farmington Little Raiders, under the coaching of lVlr. John Herrington, lVlr. Dennis Fitzgerald,and lVlr. James O'Leary, once again dom- inated the junior varsity football scene in the NWSAA. The JV Gridders posted their second consecu- tive undefeated season. Only a 13-13 tie with Liv- onia Franklin tarnished an otherwise perfect camp- aign. They finished with a 7-0-1 record and another league championship. The superior combination of a balanced of- fense and a stalwart defense was exhibited through- out the season. Quarterback Bob Hughes and run- ning backs Ron Kopico and Jim Weldon provided the offensive spark, while the defense was led by 240 lbs. John lVlanfredini and 265 lbs. Greg Forte on the line. , The potential shown by players on this year's squad, along with more excellent coaching should help to produce an even finer varsity football team in '68, Ron Kopicko makes a beautiful catch and teammate Dave lVlcCoy comes in to assure North of ball control. The Patriot opponent has no chance against three big Raider defensemen, Larry Vellianoff, Chris Rader, and Harold Anderson. Anxiously looking to the action on the field are Coaches James O'Leary, John Herrington, Dennis Fitzgerald and the rest of the Little Raiders. 97
