Varsity Football- A Disappointing Season. The 1984 Bulldog Varsity team struggled to a 4- 5 record as, time and again, they encountered foes which could not be overcome. The fleeting moments of greatness emphasized all the more the agony of defeat. Injuries to key players added to the difficulties faced by the Bulldogs. Two losses were particularly difficult for us to accept. The season opening against Globe should have been won. ln the seconds remaining at the close of the game, Globe scored a touchdown and the Bulldogs fell in defeat. The Homecoming game against Miami was ours: we were sure of victory. However, Murphy's Law was in full effect. Nothing went right and the Bulldgos faced a Homecoming celebration with a deep sense of remorse. One of two highlights of the season was the victory over Morenci which found us at Eastern Arizona Col- lege Stadium. The stands were filled as people crowds cheered them on with everything they had. lt was player against player, team against team, school against school. This was the game of all games. In the end, the sweet smell of victory was ours as the Bulldogs triumphed and fed the home crowd with so much positive energy that it was impossible to hear one's self think. This was a team to be proud of. The final game for the Bulldogs was the other highlight of the season. San Manuel was a fierce opponent, but the Bulldogs kept them in check. The other team was good, but we were better. Everything fit into place and went right like a well- oiled machine as the Bulldogs pressed on for vic- tory. Having played a super game, the Bulldogs enjoyed a feeling of triumph that was shared by everyone. What a great way to end the season. We did not take state this year, but deep down anxiously awaited the game to begin. inside we all knew the Bulldogs were ffl.
