Avonworth Neville Millvale Etna Bill Obenchain, fullback Chester Phillips, manager The 1960 Football Team was proud to find itself in possession of our school's first winning season. This is no small accomplishment for a school which has been in varsity competition for only two years. Our first game was a night game with Avalon. Paul Welder, senior halfback, scored twice on long runs. Avalon scored twice in the second half, but a blocked extra point saved the game. Upper St. Clair was vic- torious 14-13. The iirst home game was with Bellevue. This time St. Clair was turned back 26-7. The defeat was caused by mistakes and injuries, including two brain concus- sions. Because of the large number of injuries, the team lost to Snowden the next week, 21-0. East Washington came to Upper St. Clair the next Friday. It was raining, but that didn't hold St. Clair back. The team came from behind to win-21-12. The next game, with Avonworth, was the high point of our season. We led the entire game, until they scored a desperate last minute touchdown which tied the game 7-7. The following week St. Clair played at Neville. A fired up Neville team beat us 26-7. The Millvale game was a special occasion for the football team. That Friday was Mr. Merritt's birth- day. Millvale was easily defeated 43-7, and when the team arrived home, they threw a surprise party for Mr. Merritt. The team had an even record going into the last game with Etna. It was a hard fought contest, but St. Clair was victorious 14-7. The team's record was 4- 3-1. -

TQ eeee '1,'1 'LAL V Dan Harty The 1961 record of the Upper St. Clair bas- ketball team showed a marked improvement over the previous year. The Varsity, coached by Mr. Christ, ended with a 14-8 record, ranking third in our section. Mr. Norton coached the Junior Varsity, which ended with a 21-1 record, marred only by a pre-season loss to Fort Cherry. Mr. Christ's task was diflicult, since he lost the entire first-string team of last year. The squad was built around Bill Zondorak, Kent Johnson, Dave Welder, Dave Minor, and Paul Welder. This group, well-supported from the bench, car- ried the banner for U.S.C. Our happiest mo- ment was defeating Avonworth, and our saddest, the 55-56 loss to Avalon. The prospects for next year are bright since there are many potentially good players as well as four returning letter-men. Cx gf K ps , Dave Minor .
