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.

Creston meet caps season; Orzuiak, Lacher pace frosh . Running five miles a day seems like hard work to most people, but the freshman cross country team did it with relative ease. Outstanding runners for the year were John Orzulak, John Lacher, Carl Abbott, and Jeff Wiggins. Most improved runner was Carl Abbott. Jim Ross, who showed much poten- tial, should do well at the high school. Mary Lou Fazio, the only girl on the team, ran with the boys in two meets. After the first two meets, she began running with the Warren Cen- tral High School girls ' team. Captur- ing first place in the girls ' freshman county meet, Fazio was Warren ' s number one runner by the end of the season. After competing in the sec- tionals, Fazio placed thirteenth in the regional. Feeling hot and tired after a meet, who do harriers continue to run? Jeff Wiggins stated, It ' s a good way to keep in shape. Although the final overall record was 22-33 and they placed 1 1th in the County, the players put a lot of deter- mination and hard work into improv- ing the season. The team seemed to do better in dual meets with their best meet against Creston. When asked about the season. Coach Rick Fulmer stat- ed, The team was the most compati- ble group of runners I have ever had. FRESHMAN CROSS COUNTRY. FRONT ROW — J. Orzulak, K. Carr, J. Lacher, M. Fazio, C. Abbott. BACK ROW — T.
