RemcmbcT the days sittini; in the- halls h the locker room waiting tor practice, the hours before a game, the nervousness you felt durlnj; those hours, the dry. dusty practices, the coaches pep talks, the satisfaction ot winning, and the long, quiet hours after defeat Those are the days that most ot us remember From a disorganized group the first week or so, we became a closely knit team. We will never forget the friends we made, games we played, or the spirit we all shared. Though this never would have been possible without the leadership and guidance ot our Coaches, captains, and trainers We would also like to thank all the supporters, fans, and the 1979- 19H0 football cheerleaders lor their support and spirit that they gave us. And a special thanks to Head Coach Dallas Kopp, who after thirteen years of coaching the Red River Roughridcrs, retired. We will all miss the lielp and leadership you gave us. Atter looking buck, how 1 wish we could be back on that field no matter how hot or tired we were. Now that it has past we can say that was a great season. And if you ask anyone on that 79-HO foot- ball team what the greatest part of that season was they would say- beating Grand forks Central.
