Junior Varsity Goes 4-2 The reserve team had a good season finishing the year with a 4-2-0 record. The biggest game of the year was against the G. I. Senior High sophomores. Early in the 1st quarter, Bill Carllson ran 1 yard to make the first score of the game. The Islanders came back in the 2nd quarter with a two yard touchdown pass. At the half, the score was tied at 6-6. In the 3rd quarter, Doug Falldorf caught a pass from quarter- back Kirk Berggren to make a 55 yard touchdown which made the score 12-6. The Vikings scored again in the 3rd quarter when Bill Carllson ran three yards to hit pay dirt boosting the score to 18-6. The Vikings put the icing on the cake when Kirk Berggren ran 1 1 yards for a touchdown, making the final score 24-6. The quotes for the captions are from Coach Hill. Probably the high point of the season was beating the Grand Island sophomores. That ' s the first time we ' ve ever beaten them in reserve football. The reserve squad had a super attitude this year. i 26 We had some fine individual efforts but the team aspect was always there. IJ

I ' m very pleased and happy for a bunch of kids that demonstrated courage and how they could come back the second half of the game. We did not go undefeated, nor to the State playoffs, but progress and improvement were our main goals. I feel we did achieve that. ' 25
