Season hottest on record Varsity Football Season Wins 8 Losses 2 Scecina 17 Marshall 22 7 Warren 17 24 Tech 8 7 Shortridge 6 42 Arlington 6 23 Roncalli 17 23 Chatard 0 28 Howe 0 3 Ritter 0 33 Attucks 6 Siar added Willie Hutt to their all-city list, with Steve Mescall, Mark Foley, Pat Cangany, Don Blackwell, and Steve Mescall receiving honorable mention from either Star or News. Enthusiastic crowds at games and at pep sessions reflected the up mood of the varsity season, even in chilly weather. The reserves are really a back-up for the varsi- ty, commented Aidan Moriarty, so we really didn't have our entire team together for the season. Coach Tim Feezle said he was comfortable with the season and with the players' attitudes. Charles McCahill, Joe Logan, Steve Kirk and Aidan Moriarty moved up to varsity for some games. Ernie Thein did a good job replacing Kirk as a running back. John Sifferlen and Dan Wood played a good defensive game, while Daryle Rue and Mike Murphy also added some muscle from the juniors. Games against Howe and Shortridge seemed es- pecially well put together, according to team mem- bers. The plays were all executed and the weather was good, they said. With a large percentage of juniors playing reserve, coaches hoped for a strong varsity team for the coming season. Right behind the reserves came the freshmen, hoping to fill the vacancies left in the ranks of the reserves when they move up to varsity status. Tom Withem said, Although we didn't have £ great season, we played some good games. I think the Arlington game was the one where we had oui plays really down. We played together well. The shut out Arlington 14-0. Even practices in rainy, muddy weather didn'i slow them down. As Coach Scott Fangman said Watch out for them in the future. He also re- marked that the freshman team had it in them tc become as good as the 1980 varsity team. He en- joyed the season, especially the various personalities of the players. The Howe game was a sore spot with some players — a 6-22 loss. Howe players seemed to find the frosh performance in this one amusing, and the freshmen didn't appreciate it. Just wait till next year, they said. John Naughton found the Tech game the most exciting. We were down 12-0 at halftime. Coach Fangman gave us a pep talk then and we came back to win it in overtime, 22-20. Quarterback Dan McCarthy had the honor of making the conversion which scored the tying points, putting the game into overtime and the crowd into a cheering mood.
