Misleading year It is easy for one to be misled when looking at the Rocks ' varsity football record this past season. The Islander ' s were 3-6 overall, and posted a dismal 1-4 Western Big Six record. However, they did not play as badly as their record might indicate. Of Rocky ' s six defeats, five were decided by a touchdown or less. Give or take a few bad breaks, and their record might have been reversed. Tom Piehl was the team ' s rushing leader with 663 yards. Junior quarterback Fontaine Walker had a brilliant season, completing 29 of 45 passes for 322 yards and an average of 11.1 yards per completion. The defense played superbly. Fred Oelschlaeger had 50 tackles, and teammate Chester Hickman was just behind him with 48. Shawn Leigh led the squad with seven quarterback sacks. With several inexperienced juniors playing regularly, the Islanders somewhat cracked under pressure. Next year, however, those juniors will become experienced seniors. Several brilliant sophomores will be at the varsity level, and perhaps Rocky will get a few breaks and have an outstanding year. Tom Piehl finds himself side stepping a lone defend¬ er Doug Williams looks to pounce on a loose pigskin. 26 Football
