Football '8O: fun, yet 'U - 2 challenging X 7 4 d ' ' I l Q2 isappointing Q, 110' Class. The one word which best R4 describes the 1980 Varsity squad. 'T1 They were a team that really cared O about each other. They wanted to do Q, well not only on the field but academi- C' cally, said Head Coach Terry Cron. Qi They set out to change the 'Dumb Jock' image. Since the installation of a study hall, football players improved their grades. One player went from four D's to four A's. This showed that they could do something other than bump heads on a field. The Dragon football team came to be a respected ball club. There were disappointments for the team but they always set out with a positive attitude to give it their best shot. They truly appreciated the fans and the support. The team will suffer next year because of the split but this year's squad has laid 'The Foundation' for football of the future. People may say we are crazy but our goal for next year is to be District Champs, pre- dicted Coach Cron. Whether they achieve this goal or not remains to be seen but from what they have estab- lished this year, one can honestly say that they will give it their best.

Football '8O: over, but not forgotten lt has been said that all good things must come to an end, and so another football season has seen its last moments. There will be other teams and games in other years, but the attitude and team spirit will carry over. This year's team has laid 'The Foundation' for Round Flock football of the future. This year has seen its last kick-off, after school practice and Senior pep rally but the memories of Football '80 will live on. ss t Juniorggrsity S Distrigi ecord S g 5 Richfield . sss 2 r fElllS0 l t T lfll 1 . .. ..ts. .5 ttg.

Most J.V. players hope that when football comes around next year they will have earned a place on the Var- sity sguad. But the J.V. of Football '80 was a stepping stone not only to Round Rock Varsity but to Westwood Varsity as well. As one player stated, RR and West- wood will be rivals in Football but we will have come from the same lot and there will still be a closeness.
