we could easily be in third place with a 22 record he said we only beat king city by three points and this newmar ket game was a- battle of the defences we only won because we had one niore break and as far as winning the league goes george said its a tossup between us king city and newmarket any team can beat another thats how close it is this season the coach was impressed with his defence coached by senior grads angelo varsamis and mike manikas particu larly ron guirguis angliss and brad may b other hand i was surprised with the pass rush a couple of times the linemen were down the

back scott hitchcock plunged over for the td finally newcomer chris goodale scored his first major as a senior when he rambled into the endzone on a 25yard sweep but dont think the marauders were brilliant all game indeed the offence looked awful in the second quarter after warren queensborough recovered a fum ble on newmarkets twoyard line mara and company had four tries to gain those two miserable yards but they may as well have been a mile away for all the suc cess they had the team had a sort of mental breakdown said offensive coor dinator ed curry it was not playing very well but in the end the statistics said markham did have a better game than newmarket it piled up 328 yards just 67 in the air though and 23 first downs individually hitchcock led the ground game by picking up 147 yards on 21 carries goodale actually beat hitchcocks seven- yardspercarry average by rushing 100 yards on 14 carries meanwhile the myron dnes de fence gave up just 129 yards and seven first downs veteran dean powell led the linemen with seven tackles and one qb sack rookies aldean slowly and brent colclough had five tackles apiece while freshmen toby mchale and peter powell yes hes deans younger brother col lected four each still not all the statistics were encouraging maras passing ratio was downright depressing just four completions two to but ler in 18 attempts and the marauders continued their disturbing tendency for penalties they caught the re ferees eye 11 times while new market picked up only four in fractions one of the problems on offence is due to injuries and suspen sions weve never started the same line before curry ex plained the centre position is a good ex ample in just four games darryl may wade lee toby mchale tom walton and mike lavary have been utilized catching the coachs eye with their strong play was tackle jamie clarke and guards eric katigbak kevin ely on defence the situation is bet ter the newmarket win was ivlarkhams third shutout and thats keeping a smile on the face of defensive skipper dnes my biggest concern right now is the line he explained were giving up too much yardage on running- plays we were getting killed on their firsthalf sweeps by killed dnes means that newmarket actually picked up 48 yards he made some adjust ments for the second half and cut that number in half results of thursday after noons game in newmarket
