Football Spirit Soars After a slow start the 1980 edition of South Football developed into one of the better teams of the last two decades. Highlights were the 13-11 victory at Roosevelt and the 11-0 Homecoming win over Southwest. In the Roosevelt game. Quarterback Gary Dorr, receivers Dean Pendleton and Lance Taylor, running back Danny Howes and blocker Mike Bender led the best offensive surge South has had since 1973. The Homecoming victory was a sweet win that featured near perfect defense and a long scoring run by Tony Vossen and a 40 yard pass from Gary Dorr to Rudy Gonzalez. The team had excellent leadership from tri-captains Mike Bender. Kevin Hoylitya, and Tony Vossen as well as other seniors. This led to good team spirit which grew as the season progressed. The players selected Dean Pendleton as Most Valuable. Mike Bender Most Valuable Defensive Player and Danny Howes as team player of the year. THE 1980 VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM: BOTTOM ROW: Mike Bender.

Capra Named All-City! The Cross Country teams this year had it kind of rough. Their teams lacked participation. The guys team had 10 runners to start the year, including Tony Capra who was in the 7th grade. Due to injuries they lost a few of these runners. The girls team started out with only 4 runners. Nora Petersons was injured and Angie Shea moved, so they ended the season with only 2 runners. (5 runners are needed for competition to place.) Mike Capra made All-City this year, and he came only I second away from going to the state meet. All of the runners worked hard. The average day usually consisted of running before and after school, and individual workouts on weekends. The season this year ended with 4 wins and 4 losses for the guys, and 0 wins and 8 losses for the girls. Yet all in all the team had a good season. Coach Warren Kaari commented. there wasn’t enough bodies out” and added. they all did a good job considering the number of people out and the fact that many were beginners. 1980 MEN S CROSS COUNTRY TEAM.
