Jr, High Football Improves Record Having a winning season was the 7th grade football team ' s goal. For the first time in several years the 7th grade won more than they lost. Each player contributed toward a good team effort. The outstanding defensive unit shut out the opposition in 3 out of 6 games. The highlight of the season was beating Western 12-8 in the last game of the season. The cross-coun- try rival had beaten Taylor earlier by a 42-8 count. Last year in 8th grade football a goal was set to improve from last year ' s record of 1-5. According to Mr. Ward, the team made a great deal of improvement over the course of the season. The players came together and played as a team. Mr. Ward claimed that the major problem of the team was their lack of depth, though they are hoping to improve in the on- coming year. Mr. Ward was pleased at the offensive effort of lineman Karl Willis and back Bob Burns. Defensive lineman Mike Guinn and linebacker Kris Karns were outstanding. The team ' s season record ended at 2-4. Hte- i VL i«es -»3fe 7.i 1. Tr. ' d MisiKy k 7th Grade Football: Front row: R. Patten, R. Johnson, S. Bauer, K. Tragesser, J. Gerlach, S. Gregory, B.
