Last week must have been a
short week. By the time I got
around to writing the Coach's Cor-
ner the Record had already gone
to press.
Ron Swenson was awarded the
"Blocker of the Week" award for
the Valley Mills game. Ron is a
senior who does a good job and
gives a lot of effort. Roddy Brain-
less was voted the best blocker for
the Hamilton game. Roddy played
his best game tost week, both on
offense and defense. I feel that
our whole team gave a better ef-
fort in the Hamilton game than
they had the week before. We were
playing more as a team and not
so much as eleven individuals.
The "B” team defeated Glen
Rose in their game. Their competi-
tion will be much stronger this
week, as they will play Reicber’t
‘3” team in Waco.
The “A” team will have their
toughest assignment coming up
this week. Some say that Reicher
has a better balanced team this
year than they did last year. They
have only lost one game this year,
and that was by West, a highly
rated AA team ia thq state rank-
ings. Reicher’s backfieid to more
balanced than it was last year. All
their backs can run and do a good
job.
Some of our boys were bruised
up a lot after the Hamilton game,
but all should be ready to go Fri
day night. I believe that the Cubs
will be ready for their boat effort
of the year Friday night. 1 know
