The Irish “come a runnin’ ” to help a fellow teammate, Jerry Deal, in the game at St. Mary’s. This game was important in deciding the Tri-Valley football champions. St. Mary’s won the title by defeating the Irish 26-14 in an exciting game. Under the firm hand of Head Coach Maurice Kimball, the fighting Irish were once again the pride of Riddle High. Practice began in late August at a sleepy 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. It was tough work, but those who “stuck it out” found that it was definitely to their advantage. They generally had a rougher time on the practice field than they had with their opponents. The Irish were aggressive this year, compiling a large number of penalties. Many chances were taken, and few turned out for the worse. Backed by a large number of enthusiastic supporters and fans, the Irish fought their way to second place in the Tri-Valley League. Next year, with a bit of work, maybe it will be first place. The 1970 Freshman team, coached by Mr. Matthews, had a successful season. They won four of their seven games. The team consisted of-Back Row: Steve Newcomb, Mark Steen, Herman-Dale Ostcrman, Bob Coyle, Terry Egenhoff, Carl Wilkins, Manager Mitch Wagoner. Front Row: Coach Matthews, Pat Swett, Tim Bradshaw, Dan Parks, Joe Brown, and Bruce Matthews.
