A Year to Be Proud of Red Knights both young and old truly had something to be proud of when the 1964 Varsity Football team brought home a victorious 7-8 record. Despite injuries, our Mighty Varsity Knights kept their positive attitude and determination throughout the 1984 season. Senior Mike Wright received extensive knee injuries before the season began and was unsure of his ability to play, but exer- cise and hard work got him back on the field after missing only two games. Seniors Louis Tillman, Tim Malone, and David Cooke were also sent to the sidelines mid- season. Only these football veterans weren't as lucky as their teammate. They were unable to return to the field. Tillman received knee surgery which left his leg in a cast, while Malone suffered from a broken collar bone and Cooke suffered from a broken ankle. All three excellent players and three year lettermen were missed by their teammates as well as their fans. We had an interesting season, consider- ing all the injuries, but we had good guys to fill in. Overall, it was a good season, proclaimed our quarterback, Dion Sanders. A good season indeed, it started off great with our Knights defeating Sarasota 13-12. The Knights had onlyjust begun their string of victims. Assisted by an awesome defense, the offense really poured it on Port Charlotte with a 25-O win. The Barron Collier Cougars and Charlotte Tarpons met similar fates as the Knights raced on. Lely Trojans seemed to pose a problem as the Knights fell short of a victory 21-13. Not to stay down for long, the Red Knights re- gained their energies against Cypress Lake with a final score, 21-14. Naples and Ft. Myers left the Knights scoreless, but they quickly made up for their downfall by defeating the Cape Coral Seahawks by an overwhelming 50-6 at Homecoming. The Knights ended their season against the Riverdale Raiders with a score of 17-14. For what we had out there, we had an excellent season. We had a hard time with all the injuries but they came around. Everyone did an outstanding job. pro- claimed coach Ron Hoover. ln the Red Knight tradition of good sportsmanship, quality, and excellence, our varsity football team did North Fort Myers High School proud in their Silver An- niversary year. As usual, our varsity athletes served as models for our year to come. Maintaining the idea that it's easy to be ordinary but it takes courage to excel, our varsity football players excelled in 1984. together toward a victory.
