SD HAS NEW COACHES This year head football coach, Mike DeBord, and his assistants, coaches Martin. Whitaker, and Nich- olson, led the varsity football team to a 2-8 record. Our team had much adversity this season with in- juries. We only had our starting line-up for two and a half games all season. We lost lineman Tim Bruns for three games. Greg Bradshaw, one of our half- backs, was out for four games. Our quarterback, Kelly Agnew, tore the ligaments in his leg at the North game and was out for the rest of the season. These three were key people to our program. How- ever, the team adjusted to the factors and they refused to give up. Our best game of the season was with Milan. We came from behind and won the game 36-20. Coach DeBord had this to say about the team, ‘ 1 was very proud of our young men all season. They kept their heads up and finished the last three games with a 2-1 record. That was a great accom- plishment after our slow start.” When we think back on our 79 season maybe we won't think of the good times, but we will remember the season, the coaches and the team. 1.
