We started out well, winning two out of our first three games, but then the injuries hit us and we just couldn't get it back together, said Coach Jim Kline. Injuries played a large part in our difficulties. At one point in the season only twenty-six team members were suited up to play. inconsistency also plagued the squad. We would play two or three strong quarters, but lapse in one quar- ter during most of our losses, said quarterback Cort Kirkley. In one par- ticularly heartbreaking example of this, the team, leading Rockville by sixteen points with less than twelve minutes left in the game, gave up twenty-four points to lose 26-18. The high point came late in the season when the Spartan defense shut out the Titans of Einstein and Greg Howland scored four touchdowns, one of which was a 65-yard break- away, to turn in a 27-0 victory.

Dc i Van Grol set consecutive game rushi records when he rushed for 257 a 321 yards, respectively. Title hor were crushed in mid-season with ti heartbreaking losses in practically i playable conditions following hee rains. However, these losses did r lessen the importance of big wins oi strong Churchill and Woodwz teams. lVluch of this year's success must credited to a very strong offens line. They have consistently oper gaping holes, while giving Quarterb Tye Shook ample time to hit rece ers. A strong defense led by linebai ers Jim Merriam, Jon Guarco a Dave Venit continually turned the l: over to the offense with good fii position. Strong performances turr in by our football teams in the I two years are now helping to make a major competitor once again Montgomery County football on varsity level.
