Many thought that due to the lack of experience the team would make a poor showing in its first season of play. The team, however, proved them wrong by ending the season with a 5-4 won-loss record. Gary DeGraftenreed, junior, the only member of the team with varsity experience, was an essen- tial part of the winning season. Other players that greatly con- tributed to the team's winning ef- fort were Ricky Davis, junior, Tim Ramirez, sophomore, and Terry Davis, sophomore. Over all, the varsity squad had a fantastic season for a first-year team. The team can be proud of its accomplishments. at K3 AX. .s tk 5 . :-55 X '2 s f'Nifiv'!-jeg 5 J ff

Sophomore club tied for title' The sophomore football team had a victorious season, finishing the year with a 5-1 record. Their only loss was to Wyandotte, 6-21. They shared the league title with Wyandotte, after facing a tough schedule. The teams giving the Sabres the most trouble were Ward and Washington. We beat Ward, 13-6, and finished the sea- son on a winning note, 7-6, against Washington. Mr. Coblentz, head coach, said that winning the title was more of a team effort, than jjust the work of a few outstanding stars. He added, I think the players did very well, considering that some of them played two games a Week. The reason for this was because some of the players were also on the junior varsity team. Mr. Coblentz feels that this was the best sophomore year yet and is looking forward to exceptional- ly good squads in the years to come. , f52
