John Jenn also falls to West On October 24 the Tornadoes were again in the familiar guise as underdogs to the Muskies of John Glenn. Despite just getting by the hapless Roseville Rams 27-14 the previous Friday, optimism was high among the Tornadoes' team and fans, and in the end the optimism was justified as West knocked off its second undefeated team in three weeks by a 14-6 score. The victory was the last of the season for the Tornadoes, but it was one of the most satisfying. Top right: Dave Winland picks up yardage and turns to follow Marc Kendall.
