in the next game they could be executed better. Observation by coaches and players made mistakes more evident and, therefore, more easily corrected. Tradition in Osseo was upheld as the Orioles took hold of another Homecoming victory. They defeated the Spring Lake Park Panthers 14-0. Excitement from fans and players added spark to the game itself. Cheering from the new highrise bleachers enabled the fans to see more of the game than ever before. Many injuries were encountered this season in practice as well as in games. Dave Setzer, one of our biggest and most powerful linemen, was out the entire season with a knee injury. Starting fullbacks, Mike Price and Gary Lafromboise, were also out of action for a portion of the season. John Rourke took over the position of fullback and handled it well until Price was able to return. Minor injuries that restrained some of the players from a few games or practices were also common this year. i. Osseo benchwarmers do more than just sit. 2. HA victory is yours if you want it. 3.

As far as participation went, this sport had one of the smallest teams. As far as winning was concerned, this sport had very few happy moments. Yet girl swimmers didn't give up. With only seventeen members on the team and only two of them being divers, the girl's swimming team had to fight for all the victories they achieved. Under the coaching of Sally Voght and Gary Larson, the girl's team organized themselves enough to finish with a 3-8 win-loss record. Captains Penny Johnson and Lynn Schaefer helped keep up the lasting spirit the team was able to grasp all season. Entering the high school next year as a sophomore is a very promising swimmer, Carla Jones. As a ninth grader this year, Carla was the only aII-conterence member of the team. She advanced to Regions and placed in the top twelve positions in the 200 yd. I.M., and the 400 yd. freestyle. l. Osseo gridders execute a play for a successful first down. 2.
