AND SELF-PRIDE Beginning with success, Mitchell's B-squad won the season's opener with a 19-13 victory over Acad- emy High School. Encouraged by their first victory, the sophomore eleven delivered a powerful blitz to defeat the highly- rated Widefield Gladiators, 13-6. Gaining momentum, they crushed the Cheyenne Indians, 13-0 in their third and last non-conference tilt. Going into their first league game with a perfect record, the B-squad met Pueblo East at Pueblo. Un- fortunately, East's offense proved too powerful, and the junior Marauders were handed their first de- feat, 21-7. Utmost school spirit was displayed as the Ma- rauders prepared to fight a strong local rival, Wasson. The Thunderbirds scored three times to Mitchellis one for a final tally of 18-6. The following week, the Pueblo Central Wildcats made a similar performance when they defeated the Marauder gridders 19-6. Finally, the B-squaders broke their losing streak with an impressive 27-6 win over Pueblo South's Colts. Centennial barely edged by Mitchell's B-squad with a one point margin for a decisive 13-12 score. The final game of the season ended in defeat when the Palmer Terrors shot through Mitchell's defense and delivered a 20-6 loss to the young Marauders.
