This was truly one of the most outstanding teams in the short history of 7th grade football at Pleasant Hill Jr. High. This was a team characterized by dedication, courage, aggressiveness, and enthusiasm. If any game exemplified this team it was the first game against Elmira. After being stlmned by a 60-yard pass on the first play from scrimmage, the first time we had been behind this season, we relentlessly ground out a pair of second half touchdowns. The last drive of some 60-yards consumed almost five and one half minutes of the clock with the goal line being crossed with but 21 seconds left on the clock.

The seventh grade basketball team got off to a fast start, beating Oakridge 29-13, St. Mary's 30-18 and Harrisburg 31-16. But then a fine shooting Elmira team dealt the Rams their first loss, 43-33. The Rams bounced back to dump Philomath 37-27, but then dropped a close 24-21 decision to tough Junction City just before presstime. Rick Lewis, who is perhaps our best all-around player offensively and defensively, heads up the group who have been starters most of the season. Lewis plays at left wing in the team's double-stack offense. Other starters include right wing Jim Breazeale, an excellent shooter and rebounder, point guard Ken Sprague who sets up the offense, postmen Brian Miles, Mark Dorman, Scott Stinson and Phil Ziebert and wingman Duane Mathews. ' Reserves include Mike Watkins, Paul Burton, Dan Parr and Dale Penegor at the' wings, point guards Bill Michelson, Andy Schrenk and Andy Funke, and post man Todd Prodan, who was lost for the season with a broken thumb. Jeff Gielish plays at both the wing and post positions. The squad is completed by our excellent manager, Brian Long.
