Patriots ain aluable Experience 1 This years season started out pretty rough, losing to Monmouth 65-0. Yet through the season the harshness of the scores were slackened as the Patriots' defense improved. Many freshmen and sophomores played on the varsity team this year gaining experience. The future year may prove to be better with most of the first two strings returning next year. Two outstanding seniors for their con- tributions to the team were Doug Behrends and Steve Madison. Steve Madison was the leading pass receiver with 11 catches for 274 yards. Doug Behrends led in rushing with 430 yards and 106 carries. Patriots use defensive means to stop strong Metamora offense in home game late in season.
