Gutlook changes season 28-22 Jay victory turns season around The junior varsity football team had a season that started slowly and did not show much promise. But by mid-season a change in attitude and a new outlook on the word winning had taken place. The junior varsity made a noteable turnaround in their season. They scored major vic- tories over such teams as Holmes and Jef- ferson. According to Mike Benson, The biggest win was over Jay, because we wanted it for ourselves and especially for Coach Maldonado. The Cougars played well through the remainder of the season, and they had come down to the last game of the season. A game which meant the winning or losing of the district title. ironically the game was played against their big rival, the Marshall Rams. The Cougars lost the game 10-6, but they put up an admirable fight. They ended their season with a 5-5 record, and a new outlook for future seasons.

I think we 're headed in the right direction. 68 Junior V ty ff Jeff Schorr Sophomore Junior Varsity scoreboard Madison Lee Jefferson Marshall Jay Memorial Holmes Kennedy Edgewood Marshall 0-21 0-28 22-0 0-7 28-22 20-14 20-6 6-7 13-8 6-1 O

Rams fall in finale The Cougars showed future promise in two major victories of the year. The first victory, over the Lee Volunteers, was a first in two respects. lt was varsity's first taste of victory in the season, and it was also the first time the Cougars had ever beaten the Vols. The Cougars triumphant- ly shut out Lee High School by a score of l4'0. The offense worked together to rush for 296 yards. The defense held together to allow the Lee offensive line only 106 yards. The second great victory for the Coogs was over the Marshall Rams, a win which established Clark as the school that had made the break. Led by junior quarterback Mitch Finnie, whose season total on pass completion was 50 percent and with Robert Saenz' ability as a fullback, the Cougars closed their season with an easy 14-3 victory over the Marshall Rams.
