TOM ABLE DREW BERNIER STEVE CASSEL ERNIE CLARK Fantastic Finish Tiger scot 2 Win Lost Six Spirits were soaring as high as the mid-day sun in the clear blue sky over the Umatilla football Stadium It was the TigerScots final game of the season regardless of the outcome, but the team still had some- thing to prove. Umatilla had not been beaten in league play and had the league championship wrapped up. The TigerScots were on a five game winning streak and had been touted as playing the best ball in the CBC. Even though the championship slot had already been filled the best team in the league would be decided by this game. The sun glistened off the helmets of the two teams as they lined up for the opening kickoff. “We won the toss and elected to receive. I was nervous at first, but after the first hit I knew they were ours. said All-State tackle Robert Muniz. The final score was Weston-McEwen 28, Umatilla 14. We were the best team in the league. After 24 years of coaching football, Mr. Harris has decided to retire from coaching. His teaching coaching career began 24 years ago at Meadow Valley High School in New Meadows, Idaho. Not only did he coach football, but he also taught history, government. Senior English, Freshman Eng- lish, speech, and p.e. He was at Meadow Valley for two years, then at Pocatello H.S. for two years. From there he went to Sher- man Co. for three years. Pilot-Rock for three years, Sandy for twelve years and then coached our football team for two years. Mr. Harris will continue on as our Vice Principal, but says It will be strange not to be coaching next fall. He did add howev- er that he would be offering his sugges- tions from the stands.
