Mam JUNIOR GRIDDER STEVE Parrish finds daylight and races for the uprights to score six points against the Mt. Vernon Wildcats. Headed downfield in an attempt to help in the blocking is Senior tackle Kent Logsdon. Warrior Squad Completes F ighting Season No Harrison football team has Hlaid the blueprints of victory,l as well as this years team which surpassed all other years with its string of wins. Although the season was highly successful in that we achieved a record number of seven wins, a tie with the dominating city football team, a defeat of both the favored S.I.A.C. team and the eventual city and S.I.A.C. champs, a giant gap of two games was left. After a heartbreaking 6-0 loss in the seasons opener with North, Coach Don Watsonls Warriors showed the other city coaches how the game is played. While on the 11warpathu the Warriors defeated the eventual city champs, Memorial, in a 20-0 decision. SENIOR FULLBACK TIM Buehner awaits the handoff from Quarterback Terry Wedgewood. This play went around the end for a first down. 30 The following week brought a heart-stopper, as the War- riors battled the strong Reitz squad to a 12-12 tie, in a game that went all the way down to the wire. A series of five straight victories followed as the Warriors mowed down Central 23-6, Vincennes 58-6, Mt. Vernon 57-14, New Albany 33-0, and Bosse 19-14. The Warriors Victories over New Albany and Bosse were both hard fought wins and a test of the Warriors strength. Mater Dei proved to be the game that we would most like to forget as the Warriors were routed in a 13-0 decision. The final game of the season proved to be more exciting and a better game to view as the Warriors trounced Rex Mundi, 41-7. IS THERE REALLY a ball down there? Seniors Richard Searles and Charlie Blythe prepare to look for it in the mass of felled players.

T riumphant Warriors Capture City, For the second consecutive season the Warriors turned in a championship effortll as they coasted to a 20-2 season record. While running the total wins to 40 straight season victor- ies, the Warriors defeated many strong city and SIAC teams. The tall and talented Warriors walked away with the City and SIAC crowns, but again the Sectional crown eluded them. The only defeats came when the Central Bears pulled the blanket over the Warr'iors' eyes and defeated them by a mere tw0 points in the Holiday Tourney and when the Memorial Tigers made the comeback of the year and de- feated the Warriors for the Sectional title. Seniors Rick Atkinson, Pete Helmbock, Ned Schnacke and John Niednagel led the attack, and were aided greatly by the bench strength of Hal Sauer and Randy Lutterman. Juniors Vaughn Wede'king and Bob Winchell aided in the starting five while Greg Fenner, Terry Wedgewood and Greg Nelson added to the team depth. HARRISON NETMAN, BOB Winchell, makes sure Northls fast-moving Abe Krauss wonlt get by. SENIOR GUARD RICK ATKINSON cuts and drives for the basket in the Warriors first encounter with Bosse.
