Gridders have good season Completing the 1981 foot- ball season with a 6-3-1 record, the soph gridders finished fourth in the San Joaquin Athletic Association. Led by the coaching of Rod Gaines and Steve Westgate, the team had their second consecutive successful year. Yes, we had many mistakes in the beginning of the season, said Gaines. But after a few losses, the team came back and hit hard. Playing as a team, the soph gridders had an im- proved second half season. Having a very physical con- tact game against Stagg, the Tigers crunched several Delta Kings. Winning honors at the end of the season were Raymond Denuit, most valuableg Robert Lewis, best offensive backg and Kenny Oliver, best offensive lineman. ...W , - f Q..

Frosh gridders play with stamina Even though our record wasn't superior, we played with a lot of enthusiasm in practice and games, stated frosh football coach Bob Rose. Knocking Lodi out of first place was a real boost to ending the season. After falling to Lodi in their first contest, the Tiger grid- ders fired up and battled Lodi to a 6-6 tie to end the season. The game, which was played in a sea of mud and water, triggered the most ironic Tokay-Lodi foot- ball series among freshmen, sophomores, and varsity football teams. All three squads were tied in the season finale. The frosh Tigers finished the season with a 3-5-1 overall record and a 2-5-1 league slate. This year's competition was one of the toughest according to Coach Rose. Assistant coaches under Rose were former Tokay football players Dan Lam- bdin and Cliff Dochterman. 1.
