66 Fresh Soph Football X Fresh Soph Team Gain Experience Although the '84 fresh soph football team col- lected only four wins, Assistant Coach Jeff Pad- gett was very satisfied with the team. He felt that with a few more experienced players, the team could have had a winning season. There were many highlights to the season, ac- cording to Padgett. He said, It was a good season for the young kids in the line and kids that never played high school ball before. The team played well in all their outings excluding the trouble they had with Rockridge and Monmouth. Kurt Melton gained 504 yards rushing on a five yard per carry average. Quarterback Tim Parry led the team in scoring with 32 points. Although a few events may have prevented the team from having a winning season, the stats show the Chargers played well overall. Tony San- chez, the Chargers' split end, said, We had our good games and we had our bad games. Although our record may not have shown it, l think we all learned a lot and were satisfied with the season.
