-■ Freshmen Shatter Myths I reshmen are often stereotyped by older students as being immature, fool- ish, and naive. These notions are usually so ingrained, that it takes the most de- termined 9th grader to break the pat- tern. The 1982-83 Freshmen football team was out to disprove these myths. From the beginning of the season, with practices and more practices, they wanted to show they had class. Their strongest quality was one which is intrin- SIC in good character; effort. Despite an 0-8 record, they had the guts to stick with the program until the very end. On January, the most outstanding players were honored for their contribu- tions to the team. Coaches, spoke and gave the players encouragement for fu- ' ... no individ ual stars . . . ture football years. The most valuable player overall, it was determined, was Trevin Moore, tail- back. Trevin was selected for a wide- spread spectrum of accomplishments. He boasted, I was very proud and hon- ored and the award gave me confi- dence to try harder in my next three years at Rubidoux. The most valuable of- fensive and defensive players were John Cot- , ten, tackle; and Antho- ny Garcia, Middle Line- backer. John said, ' M ' m glad the coaches realized how hard I tried. An- thony expressed similar sentiments. After an undeniably difficult first year, the teammates on the freshmen foot- ball team have gained confidence, ma- turity and a winning attitude. 1.

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
