On Au- gust 29, they beat number two ranked Pomona 28-14 during a pre-season scrimmage. The Blazers then proceeded to roll over their first three non- league season games against Arvada West, Lakewood, and Nonhglenn. These teams went to the quarterlinals, but due to the new Centennial League divison, the Blazers were unable to make it to state. Defensive coach Harry Bull said, The Centennial divi- sion took away two of our spots and gave them to the new divi- sion. Maybe they weren't our spots, but other teams in our divi- sion deserved those positions. Despite the split, on September 18th at the Northglenn stadium, starting quarterback Sr. Dave Moorhead broke his left wrist late into the third quarter. Because of Dave's injury, Jr. Tom Killeen D mment shows on Hrs! team gue offensive guard Sr. Scott Nannemann's face as he anticipates a loss Q to Grand Junction. But the Blazers pulled it out in the last 18 seconds and came away with a 28-24 victory. started as quarterback. Injuries were a major factor in the Blazers' inability to make playoffs. Along with Dave, Sr. Doug Rulison broke his hand and Sr. Gary Wheeler broke his leg during practice. Starting punter Jr. Doug Day was also inyuried in an car accident prior to the Cherry Creek game. The Bruins' head coach Fred Tesone, quoted by the Denver Post, said, 'Tm not sure what would have happened if Overland would have been healthy. The Blazers did not let their 13- 33 loss to the Bruins slow them down. The next game, against state qualifying Grand Junction, was no exception. Jr. Tom Killeen started as quarterback, but was injured early into the second quarter. Jr. Dennis Schenk- enburger with 18 seconds left in the fourth quarter found leading receiverlr. Todd Sherman open in the endzone, leading to a 28-24 win. I played a good game, but I couldnt have done it without the 'line,' said Dennis. The momentum gained by the Grand Junction game carried them to a 28-0 win over Smoky Hill. Homecoming was next, and they were up against the number COD' dEl'S Varsity Football 6-4 OHS OPP Arvada West 25 9 Lakewood 29 15 Northglenn 20 8 Cherry Creek 13 33 Grand Junction 28 24 Smoky Hill 28 0 Mullen 0 31 Regis 35 14 Fairview 12 17 Boulder 14 31 two ranked Mustangs. Mullen held nothing back, and the Blaz- ers lost 0-31, their only shut-out. The Blazers let their anger from Homecoming carry over to the next game. They took their frus- trations out on Regis and the 35- 14 victory proved it. The next week, with less than fifty people in the stands, the rainy, Boulder air kept every- thing miserable at the Fairview game, but the Blazers stuck to- gether. With only seconds left Sr. Todd Madden caught a Moorhead pass to close up the score. Never- theless, Fairview won 12-17. Seven of the players played both ways, meaning that they played both offense and defense. Four of these players received awards for their talents. Jr. Sean Hicks and Sr. Scott Nannemann won the Coaches Award, and Jr. Todd Sherman and Sr. Scott Bond won the Winners Edge award. 'The other bi-way players were Jr. Mike Biltimier and Srs. Steve Buck and Bill Roberts. The Blazers finished the season with a 6-4 record. Steve said, It was very satisfying to accomplish more then everyone gave us credit for, but the end of the season was extremely disappointing. It was difficult to watch five teams we beat--Po- mona, Arvada West, Lakewood, Northglenn, and state semi-finalist Grand Junction--go to the state playoffs.
