This year ' s Junior Football team was a much improved squad over last year ' s. This year we played a total of seven games, six of which were regular league games. The big spark on our offensive squad was our quarterback, Brad Digger Wilson, who scored a total of 50 points for the season, an average of better than eight points a game. Next in rushing and scoring came Bob Fleetfoot Simons with an average of four points a game. Then came Bob Tough Fitches with a total of four touchdowns and one game misconduct. Last, but far from least, was Andy Steamroller Konopacki, with three touchdowns. Andy was always right in there for the really big yardage when we were in dire need of it. In our school, as in all others, the football team is only as strong as its weakest linesman. We had a fine line, spearheaded by Harry Olesch, Barry Segal, Paul McGovern, and Harold Silver. With a few breaks, McLaughlin would have been sporting a C.O.S.S.A. Junior Football Trophy. Hearty thanks to our two fine coaches, Mr. Hughes and Mr. MacLean. :k 53

V 5 ' O 9 ? 6 V , »t «a » iT This year ' s junior team was the best the school has produced and one of which M. C.V.I, can be proud. After starting the season with a one point victory over Donevan and then a heartbreaking two point defeat by O ' Neill we met Central who proved too strong for us. By defeating O ' Neill the team forced a playoff with Donevan for second spot. The margin for McLaughlin ' s victory in the two-game total-point series was 24 points. We were then eligible to enter the C.O.S.S.A. play-offs, becoming the first boy ' s basketball team to do so. In the semi-final game we met Peterborough. The game was a very exciting contest but P.C.I, de- feated McLaughlin by a score of 60-49. Throughout the regular season the team wasledby Jerry Mays with his 18 1 2 points a game average and Randy Zedic with 9.8 points a game. With the excep- tion of Mays and Plancke the first string of Zedic, Dave McMaster and Andy Konopacki will remain for next year ' s team. With help from second stringers such as Van Holmes, Gary Morrison, and Digger Wilson, M. C.V.I, should be well represented next year. The Co-Captains, Randy Zedic and Ross Taylor, on behalf of the team, would like to thank the Coaches Mr. McLean and Mr. Kolodzie and Manager Doug Weeks for all their time and effort. 55
