Power Awes Opponents wenty seconds left in the game, third down, and Palm Springs is just fif- teen yards from the goal line. Rubidoux is ahead 1 4-) 2, but the Folcons know they must halt this final surge to win the game. The crowd becomes deathly qui- et as the Palm Springs quarterback goes bock to pass. Suddenly, the quiet turns to pandemonium as the ball is intercept- ed by Todd Porter. Amid jumping cheer- leaders and ecstatic fans, the jubilant Rubi- doux team celebrates another victory. Once again, the Falcon de- fense comes through to save the day. Three assets to the team were Ryan Knight, Chuck Hill, and Chris Holt, who were named to the All-County Team. Robert Coballero and Don Jones were selected as honorable mentions. But most of the credit should go to Coach Brouhard for molding the team together so well. You have to work to be good, and when you are good, you should brag, says Brouhard, who guided the ' ' When you ' re good, you brag. Falcons to a 7-2 record. One factor that improved their games was the ability to come from behind and win. This talent was formed by spirited Rubidoux fans, cheering cheerleaders, and pep talks. One player explained, During half time, if we were behind in the game and the team started feeling down, we ' d sit down, have a Coke, and talk about our mistakes. Cornerbock Mike Anderson confessed, am very pleased with my four years on Rubi- doux ' s football team. It has earned me a col- lege scholarship. But I must stress that all the credit goes to Coach Brouhard. And what are some opinions about next year ' s team? Strong safety David McCrary stated, Next years team will be even better than this years. We will be more aggressive, stronger, and fas- ter. Coach Brouhard concluded, I feel that next season will be great. ' A- We ' re the Kids of America

Bursting With Talent W. hen everyone is playing to- gether, we have 1 1 good players on of- fense and 1 1 on defense. There are no individual stars, commented Coach Harrison Cole of the JV Football Team. One of the JV ' s best games was the battle with Notre Dame. The Notre Dame team was smashed by the trium- phant Falcons; the final score 46-14. Harrison added that the game was a 46 player contribution. During the season, there was some excellent talent, but, said Harrison, it couldn ' t blend. ' It ' s improving ta- lentwise, but togetherness is still lack- ing. The team is good, but they work as separate eagles, and not as one Fal- con. Despite Harrison ' s evaluation, the team proved to be bursting with individual talent. Star tailback Paul Brown was an in- trinsic factor in many of the team ' s triumphant games, and he worked with his team members to reach their goal: a victory. The JV football team ended their sea- son with a record of 3-6 overall, and 0-5 in the league. . . . how hard I tried ... 200 We ' re the Kids of America
