Our
own Winter Park Wildcats closed out their regular
ten game schedule with an impressive 7-1-2 mark.
As far as past statistics can be traced, this
is the best record a Winter Park team has held
in the last decade.
The Parkers, dropping
only one game to Sanford and tying two, Bartow
and Seabreeze, cleaned house on such foes as
Cocoa (13-7), DeLand (18-0), Bishop Moore (47-0),
Leesburg (26-0), Lakeview (26-12), Apopka (13-7),
and New Smyrna (34-7).
While dropping
one and tying two games, the Parkers piled up
interesting statistics. For the ten games the
'Cats outscored their opponents 204 to 66, for
a lusty 20.4 average per game.
A 43% average
in the passing department aided the 'Cats in
a number of their wins. The lone mar of the
statistics is the number of penalties that were
committed, 675 yards, for a grand total of 67.5
yards per game.
All-Conference
and All-State candidate John Jane was the leading
ground gainer and point getter for the Parkers,
as he ripped the defenses for 707 yards and
12 TD's.
LAKE
HOWELL COUNTRY CLUB PLANS TOURNAMENT
A
lot of attention has been placed over the last
couple of weeks on the up and coming golf tournament
to be held at the Lake Howell Country Club,
located at the home of John Jane, home pro.
The tournament
which will be played on an 18 hole, 54 Par,
pitch and putt course, is open to all students
of Winter Park High. This being the fourth annual
holding of the affair, is open not only to experienced
golfers, but to players who are not exceptionally
good golfers.
For additional
information and entrance forms see Jane, Jay
Rodgers, Tournament Chairman; Ford Duane, Touring
Pro; or Bill Blackburn, greens keeper.
WINTER
PARK PLAYERS TOO BIG TO PLAY SEABREEZE!!!!!!
The
above statement was made following the Winter
Park-Seabreeze tilt in Daytona over a local
radio station on the beach side.
The game fought
to a 6-6 tie, was an evenly match affair from
the first kick-off. But one of the Sandcrab
students seemed to have other ideas about the
game. Immediately following the contest she
phoned the local disc-jockey, who was on the
air at the time, and said, "Those Winter
Park boys were just too big for our team."
The radio announcer replied, "That's understandable!
You have to be 20 to get into Winter Park High."
Well, football
can do a number of things to a person, especially
a fan. But I'm quite sure if you'd ask the Seabreeze
players their views on the game, you'd find
that both teams were of the same caliber, as
there was contact and hard nosed football from
the opening kick-off to the final gun. |
