HOW Sweet It Is! ' • ' ■H -f- )) -. ' - • • .1 COACH Bob Bridge eagerly anticipates another Starfire touchdown. The 1977 football season was one of great excitement. Though the Star ' s rec- ord of 5-5 was a vast improvement over the previous year, it did not give justice to their season, as a few games were lost by a very small margin. Following the seventh game, the forty- four man unit led by Co-captains Dave Baumgartner and Jeff Roop, was ranked 18th in the class A state ratings. An- other high point of the season was the selection of Junior halfback Gino Fisher to the All Conference 1st team. Also, the defensive team completed the season rank- ing 2nd place in the NEIAC, having al- lowed only 136 points in 10 games. The coaching staff and team continued to sense a close family feehng. The mix- ture of contrasting experiences of the sea- son will be long remembered. SOUTH Adams psychs up for the big game. JIM Hartman clenches onto the football as he puts the option play into high gear in a 40-0 shellacing of Northeastern.
