During the war of the trenches, Byron Rlfenburg, defensive tackle, tries to squeeze through Lodl's offensive line. 122 Q X s K- .. L Game reveals character T Despite the disappointing 42- 14 loss against Tokay's rival Lodi High, its pride and Cl'18raC- ter showed through. We were prepared for Lodi but when it came, game time we fell apart, said Jeff Tracy, head coach. When Lodi's lead was cut to 13-7, it was thought that Tokay had a chance. Unfortunately, Tokay was unable to stop Lodi's offense and the halftime score was 35-7. According to Coach Tracy, Lamar lVlitchell's catches and runs, the defensive line, and line- backer plays were Tokay's strong points. Due to an injury, Troy Viney, running back was out of the game. The loss of Viney set Tokay back even further. lt left our running game without speed, which had been one of l l our advantages, said Coacl Tracy. l'm still very proud of thi team and one game does no make the season, said Coacl Tracy. We had a good year witl a 6-3-1 record, which was second best in Tokay history. by Cynthia Gonzales Photos by Eric Johnstor
