The season was a disappointment as far as wins and losses, said head coach Chuck Chevalier as the Dukes went 3-2 through their first five games, then dropped their last four games. Even so, the 3-6 record, with wins over Central City, Fairbury, and Crete was the best a York football team had posted in Chevalierls three years. We did a lot of things wellf' he said. We had a good passing attack, but our running game was not as consistent as we would have liked. Split end Blaine Predmore was a state leader in receptions with 42 catches for 738 yds., a 17.6 average. Leading the rushers was Phil Hall with 446 yds. in 61 carries, a 7.3 average.

In the beginning every team had high hopes and achievable goals. These hopes and goals were evident as the football team opened its season with an 18-0 win over Central City. But they faded as they closed the season with a 3-6 record. Two of the losses came against the first and second rated teams in the state, GINW and Aurora. The ten-member tennis team had a rebuilding year that was led by the team's only senior, Noel Lawrence. The netmen went 2-6 for the year. Coach Don Bohling felt they played tough for being so inexperienced. A year of close matches was faced by a volleyball team that played much better than their 6-11 record showed. They got off to a slow start, but gradually came together as a strong team by conference and district time. The girl's golf team posted a 2-1 dual record and placed 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th in invitationals. They failed to make state when they placed 4th at districts. A different season from the past few years was completed by the boys cross country team as they failed to qualify for state and finished 6th at conference. Three girls ran as individuals during the season and completed at the state meet in K . - eamey by Tommy Toms Fall Sp0I'tS 51
