Head mon-New sophomore coach Steve Lovelis led the sophomores to a winning season this year. ! Sophomores gain valuable experience The no-fame gang. That could properly describe the Northeast sophomore football team. They prac- ticed every day, played at least one game a week and yet hardly anyone knew about them. The sophomores played many of the same teams as the varsity. They were coached by new head coach Steve Lovelis who brought many new techniques to the sophomore squad. Although the sophomores received little publicity, they were utilized in perfecting the varsity offense and defense. Sophomore football may not have been glorious, but it was the first step in high school athletics.

Shirttail tackle-Richard Farr tries to dump the ball off,befure he gets tackled in the Central game. 'Q N ET'Gf Chargers try to stay alive Homestretch is a term used to indicate the end of a race or a season. After romping over Fort Smith 17-0, the Chargers met with a homestretch slump. They lost the last four to Central O-9, Pine Bluff 7- 13, McClellan 11-20, and Catholic 9- 10. However, their season finish of 4 wins and 7 losses was a lot better than anyone had predicted in the pre-season polls. The Chargers, under new head Coach Duke Wells were seldom out of any ball games. Whether the Chargers were coming off the field victorious, as in the Ole Main game, or off a muddy, cold, rain-soaked field after the Central game, they had something different this year. That something was pride, which made all the difference in the world. Don Byram Field goal-The Charger line braces itself for an onrushing McClellan Lions defense trying to block a field goal.
