The word “football is more likely to create mental images of a 250-pound linebacker annihilating the opponents' offensive line rather than pictures of a swift and lean running back crashing into the end zone for a touchdown. Why does the defense receive so much glory and recognition? Athletic director and head coach Al Clark says. “In the past, Dorman's football 'trade- mark' has been a good defense. John Metcalf, an important power on the field, gives the secret behind defensive success. “Defense is sacrific- ing your body and diving to make a last-minute tackle even though you know the odds are stacked against you and your chances aren't good. It's blocking your man and still going for the tackle. You have to be willing to go the extra mile even after you've already done your job. Metcalf played a major role in the Cavaliers' 24-0 victory over Rock Hill. He was re- sponsible for ten tackles, two quarter- back sacks, and a blocked punt. Although the defense played well, there was one major drawback that prevented them from having a winning season. “Because we had so many young, inexperienced players, there was a lack of consistency that would have allowed us to win more games than we did, says Clark. He is. howev- er, looking forward to great improve- ments in next year's returning players and feels that the experience they re- ceived this season will make a big dif- ference in their abilities.

Players prepared for the season by attending summer camp and practicing with the varsity team. Quarterback Dale Hayes feels that the team's toughest game was against Gaffney. They finally pulled out on top, 17-14, after two overtimes. He feels that the strongest points on the defense were the linebackers and de- fensive tackles. The defense was so determined that they were able to shut out five of their nine opponents. “The best game offensively and de- fensively. according to Hayes, “was the game against Boiling Springs. The team was able to shut them out 30-0. All of the players feel they had a very successful season and gained the teamwork necessary to establish an outstanding team. Their hard work and know-how will be carried with each of them to the varsity team, along with the determination to become one of the best teams Dorman has ever pro- duced The Cavaher defense celebrates after a David Edwards tackle on the Union quarterback The Squires plunge through the banner with a half-time lead of 9-0 agcunst the opponent.
