VARSITY GRIDDERS LABOR FOR NEW COACH Even though finishing with a disappointing 2-7 record, the Sandy Pioneer 11 , under first year Head Coach Jim Turin, had numerous bright spots during the course of the season. The Red and Black forces went into the opening contest against Reynolds with 10 returning lettermen, including seven starters from the year before, and the outlook for the 1969 grid campaign looked promising. But the Lancers, led by a powerful fullback - the Wil- co loop's top scorer, ripped through the Pioneer defense for a 27-0 triumph. The Frontiersmen's only big moment came on a 42-yard aerial from Jim Martin to Dean Phelps which penetrated to the Lancer 15, but a 15-yard holding penalty on the next play stifled the effort. The Pioneers opened their home season the following week against Wy'East, the team that finished fifth in the league. The Eagles combined a crunching ground game and two touchdowns in 22 seconds late in the second per- iod to defeat SUHS 27-0. Outstanding in defeat for Sandy were Tackles Randy Huserik and Ron Boyles, Fullback Roger Williams and Halfback Dennis Weisen, who brought the crowd to its feet more than once on two stirring runs and two pass receptions. With the opening kickoff at Silverton, Brent Peterson took a hand-off from Phelps and streaked 92 yards from the sidelines for the Pioneer' first touchdown of the year. Peterson scored the second time with a 10-yard run, but to no avail for the Silverton Foxes retaliated with four touchdowns to win 28-14. The kickoff return by Peterson was the longest in Pioneer history, breaking the old 89- yard record held jointly by Jim Sliger, '69, and Jerry McLain, '67. 20
