Varsity Soccer Notable For Superior Effort
Returning with only a few lettermen of the '68 team, the Varsity Soccer squad had to reacquire its team image in order to begin winning. Led by captains Clay Ferebee, Holmes Morton, and Louie Foster, the Bishops began slowly but showed great potential as individuals as well as a team. Aside from losing two starters, Lee Leckie and Peter Grover, for a majority of the games, they could not seem to crack the brick wall in front of the goal and were held scoreless for the first five games. The defense stood out, however, allowing almost few enough goals for a league average low in opponent's scores.
Throughout the season, the entire team showed immense improvement, with many individual standouts: on defense, Charlie Mahan, Bruce Guignard, Tohn Warden, and Clay Ferebee; and on offense, Holmes Morton and Hampton Shuping. Goalie, Louie Foster, led the team with outstanding over-all effort and made many saves that would have otherwise meant lopsided scores.
Coach Tom Moore said he felt the whole team had given constant, hard effort, and though some were superior teams, more games should have been won.
