Although the overall record does not seem “super” impressive, the sophomore football team did have some "super" moments and team members. A highlight of the season was the impressive 20-8 win over Regis AT Regis. This hadn't happened in many years. There were only twenty guys out for the team, but they all pulled together, stressing unity and teamwork. Even though there was a lot of individual sacrifice, some outstanding members deserve recognition. Tim Fairlie was the leading rusher with a season total of 844 yards; he was also named most valuable lineman. Mike Hahesy was credited with the most tackles of the season— 86. Also adding strength to the lineup were jim Shebetka as quarterback and Robert Dennis as kicker and punter.
