Defense Holds Five Opponents Scoreless

SENIOR KICKER DAVID SHULMAN starts,
follows through, and eyes the ball on a
conversion for the extra point in the game
against Belen.

The football season proved successful
regardless of preseason predictions.
Success for the Panthers meant a
district title and a trip to Pahokee for
the region 7-2A championship game.
“At the beginning of the season, we
thought we were looking at a 6-4
team,’’ Coach Bill Munsey said. “The
boys just wanted to win, and they did.”
The team's only regular season loss
came in the fourth game against
Miami Curley. It was their first loss
after a county record string of 26
regular season victories.

One of the team’s strong points was its
tenacious defense, which shut out five
opposing teams. The defense was led
by captain Brian Foley, who had a
total of 104 tackles. Other outstanding
defensive players included senior
John Jeu de Vine, who had 93 tackles
and led the team in sacks with 5, and
sophomore Bobby Drackett, who had
94 tackles and led the team in
interceptions with 4.

DEFENSIVE CAPTAIN BRIAN FOLEY tugs at
the jersey of the St. Andrew’s quarterback.
Defensive pressure like this kept the Scots out of
the end zone during the entire game.
