Freshmen take city titles The Freshmen football ' team, the youngest of the Sabre grid-iron stars, finished a very good and rewarding season, according to Coach Dennis Marquis. The team's successes include taking first in the small division and also being first runner-up to the city - champions. Though the achievements of the team can in no way be attributed to only a few of its members, statistics show leadership in certain areas. The leading rusher for the season was Brent Davis, while Tobie Waldeck and Gerardo Gonzalez were named as two outstanding tackles. Mike Saragusa, quarterback, also had an outstanding season despite playing on a broken leg for five Weeks. This season was the first this group has played together as a unit. Coach Marquis believes that this team will be heard from in their next three years at the Academy. ..,,. ...l.s fl! Q T .. v Q. il Ln - Q .
