This years football team went unde- feated for the fourth straight year. Coach Maynard commented We had one of our better teams this year. The defense was outstanding this year giv- ing up only 15 points. We had a very strong defense. We made a couple mis- takes that the other team capitalized on. The team worked very hard practic- ing 6 hours in the summer and 2 1f2 once school started. They ran the hill 74 times at once and ran 85 wind sprints. The turn out this year was like it usu- ally is, alot of them quit. They just couldn't cut the mustard quoted Coach Maynard. Seventy - five percent of the team really worked hard this year. Next year Coach Maynard wants more 7 - 8 graders. We beat each team by at least 3 touchdowns. We have had 33 straight games without a loss.

They won the first 10 games before losing to An- drew Lewis. They also have extended an incredible home court record Kas the sign says in the gym welcome to the pit , 52, victims, 2 escapeesl. This team has been one of the most exciting teams in the NIHS 7-year history. They have been aver- aging 65 points offensively and on de- fense they have been allowing 45. Greg Otey and Danny Price has paced the Norsemen this year. They are the top two scorers in the league, Otey with a 19.3 average and Price 15.4. The fastbreak and pressing defenses have been the team's key to success. They also have had 4 dif- ferent players to break the 20 point bar- rier this year, Otey C5l, Price i3l, Donald Goode 2 times and Scott Wallace once. jerry Richmond has done a tremendous job at point guard. As an eight grader, he started every game. He is the first to do that since Eddie Otey, jason Perdue and Andy Newson in 1974. jeff Golden and Gary Wobensmith have done credible jobs starting and coming off the bench. Don Goode has had a fine season, avering 10 points a game. Scott Wallace has, pro- vided the spark off the bench, by being the 4th leading scorer on the team with a 7 point average. Coach English's record at NIHS is now 89-19. I have really enjoyed working with these guys this year. We have been through several hills and valleys this year, but we have always come back to the top. Considering all the presses C9l and all of our offenses C111 the guys had to learn, they have done an outstanding job. One of my greatest thrills in coaching was the 80-74 win over a much bigger Andrew Lewis team. Coach English gffsf df cgcucfc' Cefecte C' 9 Q72 61 .Zi Managers - Brent Mitchell, DJ.
