pigsl Tn ' p-of fs mayo captures all-american honors; baker, flack shine in pilfering passes Gaining an honorable mention on the All-Ameri- can Football team, senior Doug Mayo made second team in the District as de- fensive tackle. Doug said, I felt the team record kept me from making first team in district. Posting a 4-6 record for the season, Coach Thad Madden had his first losing season in thirty years. Lack of depth was one of the reasons cited by Coach Madden. Junior Eddie Flack and senior Kenny Baker served as defensive ends on the team. This duo com- bined to intercept a major- ity of the passes stolen in each game. Baker hit his season high against Den- bigh where he pilfered four Patriot passes.
