Along with the All Con- ference selections, five offensive and four defensive positions were taken in District. Senior Karl Benefiel received first team defensive back and first team wide receiver in Dis- trict. . Senior Greg Derby received second team District noseguard. Senior ShaWn Roach won hon- ors as first team runningback and first team linebacker. Along with first team offen- sive and defensive tackle in Dis- trict, Senior Bennie Sharp also re- ceived honors as second team defensive tackle in State. Senior Shawn Ray received first team offensive guard in Dis- trict. Junior Mark Roach received the second team running back position in District.

The Athletic program has climbed the ladder of success bestowing great honors upon these young men who have stood out over many others competing for the same rewards. stated Coach Davis. This year's football team was unique in many ways. They played as a team, they had pride. determination arid played each game with a winning attitude. . This team was the closest team I haVe ever coached in l3 years. They had great leadership from the captains and all the way through the entire squad. They were a step alone from the other teams in the past. I would like to thank my coaching staff for all the time and effort they contributed to this year's season. It was a successful season because we were a family. Werlaughed together, we worked together,we cried together, we lost together, and most of all, we won together. We learned three important factors of life; how to work hard, to get results. and have a sense of responsibility. The athletes on this year's team have set the tone for a winning program. . Thank You, Coach Santone -
