Inexperience, lack of size pose problems The season was long; the practices were tough, but the eighth grade foot- ball team continued to play hard. Al- though the team had lost more games that it had won, they put in a lot of time and effort but lost several close games. Lack of size and experience were the major problems that the team faced from the first practice to the last game. Although they had a good offensive backfield, the line had its problems. A small number of players also had a major effect on the one win, five loss season. The gridsters had many of the qua- lities to be a winning team, but they just couldn ' t make the combinations work. After the game against Belzer, Mike Laird stated, I think we could have done better than we did, but we tried hard even if the score didn ' t show it. After finding a receiver, Jeff George(12) gets ready to unload. Running a sweep is Tony Anderson(42) while Gene Slone(64) looks for a block. Ready for the ball to be snapped is the Redskin defense.
