VABSITY FOOTBALL 1979 By Becca Zhulkie This year the Westwood Patriot Varsity Football Team had a disappointing season. We talked to Mr. Cappoferri and this is what he said about his team: We didn't have the success that we should have had, but that was not a reflection of the team's work. ln our first game against Gwinn we made a lot of mistakes -- but in our second game against L'anse, which was a victory, we played more consistent ball. The third game was very disappointing because we were ahead until the last minutes of the game and lost to Munising. ln the middle of the season, we had many injuries which hurt us. At Norway we played consistent offense, and when we played Manistique we did not take advantage of our chances to score. ln our last game against Negau- nee we moved the ball on offense but did not capitalize on scoring - the weather condition was a factor also. D. J. Harrington, a senior on the team, said that: We worked hard, didn't win many games, had a lot of injuries, but did improve over the season. He spoke for all the play- ers. Overall, the Varsity's record was one win, eight losses. Troy Ogea was the leading rusher with 129 carries for 468 yards. D. J. Harrington was the leader on defense with 118 solo tackles, 37 assists, and one blocked kick. Bill Jenkin had five intercep- tions. Next year Mr. Cappoferri is hoping to work with another group of hard working young men that will give as much of themselves as his team gave this year.
