Experimenting, We ran all over them, said Iohn McLay. We killed them, stated Willie Ioseph. They shouldn't have scored a touchdowng we should have shut them out. The score should have been much higher. The j.v. football team had a field day in the game against Boca Ciega, winning 27-6. At the start of the game some players were asked if they were going to win. Yes! was the reply. Coach Brian Bruch had these com- ments on the game against Bogie: Real- ly the game was experimental to see how they would perform against com- petition. Most people on the team got a chance to play. That game really helped o us perform better in our next game. Everyone played well, the defense, of- fense, the whole team. The linebackers played an exceptional game. Everyone played well and enjoyed themselves. The game was a real learning ex- perience for everyone. In the following game against Dixie Hollins, the score was close to the last minute. The fourth quarter was the breaking point when Dixie blocked the last two punts. But the team regrouped to compile an impressive record of 6-2. Breaking the goal line plane!

Sideline advice. Taking a short rest on the sideline, our two quarterbacks engage in a brief discussion. Back-up quarterback Ierry Dt-:Vore gets free advice from starting quarterback Scott Rismiller before he goes back out on the field. When the back-up quarterback is put into the game, he wants to do the best job he possibly can. .fi I i ii'-j.l hi Q. i ri piligi A Ji' 5.31: When Coach Ierry Austin yells, everybody listens! This may not be true for everybody, but it surely is for our football team. Since Austin is the head coach, every player keeps his ears open in order not to miss out on an important change of play. Tackle! That's the name of the game as described by defensive players Mike Coad and Ken Rentz. They work together to get their Pinellas Park op- ponent down, while teammate Bobby Whaley fights off another opponent on his own. Our defense plays a major part in each and every one of our games. own ,t . , V V--5 .fatr 2 A 1' 5 is fxl f. ie ! . H M V. ' at ' My if , . I 0 . , il VARSITY FOOTBALL 1 1 5
