THE MIGHTY WILDCATS The varsity football team started its regular season with a crushing loss to Columbia City by ten points. They kept their heads up and won the next six games straight against Southwood, Man- chester, Oak Hill, Northfield, North Miami, and Rochester. Getting by Rochester by one, they had to play a tougher game against Tippy Valley for the TRC title. Tippy only scored seven points against the tough ’Cats defense, but Tippy’s defense shut out the ‘Cats’ tough offense. The 'Cats weren’t happy with a (6-2) record. The sectional looked tough for the ’Cats, who were facing a strong Norwell team. With a second half rally they rolled over the Norwell team. For the next game it was either Angola or Carroll. Carroll got by Angola to prepare themselves for the mighty ’Cats. Both teams had great determination but Carroll seemed to have more on their side. The ’Cats were ended by Carroll with a (30-14) defeat. The people elected by team members for aw- ards were outstanding achievers. David Boggs was the most valuable defensive line- man. Steve Espinoza was the most valuable defensive back. The most valubale offensive back was Joey Busz, and the most valuable offensive lineman was Doug Kessie. The most improved player was Tim Gable. The player who received the new Ryan Huff award, which has to be given to a junior, was Rick Wilson. oat = aeesee OMOa O19 5 oe : 51 81: Above - Varsity Wildcats - Row I-Mike Bolinger, Mike Hall, Carl Venable,David Boggs, Jim Juillerat, Joey Busz, Steve Espinoza, Doug Kessie, Bill Stump, Doug Lafevor, Steve Baker, Ernie Thompson.
