,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

Varsity Men Show orth Victorious Season XOR TH Senior Ron Flutur jumps and begins to pump in a long shot. The Varsity Hoopers played through the 1967-68 season undefeated on their home court and ended in second place in the NWSAA. A squad filled with experienced seniors and promising juniors sparked by student body support, exhibited skillful play and fine strategy throughout their campaign. The Fiaiders beat all their opponents at least once and lost only four games during regular season play. Highlighting individual performances were seniors Ron Flutur and lVlike lVlcCoy, both who broke the NF single game scoring record. Flutur, who was first to attain the feat, scored a total of 34 points against John Glenn, 32 of which came in the first half. He held the scoring title until the last game of the season, when teammate lVlike lVlcCoy pumped-in a total of 37 against Birmingham Groves. Coaches Richard Wilson and Kenneth Dean were pleased with the team's out-put and express promise for next year's squad. Below: Senior guard Mike NlcCoy begins a lay-up shot.
