Co-captain Mike Rotelli sparked the M B. victory with two touchdowns,
one on a 71-yard punt return, the other on a 12-yard sweep. Battling

due a highly-tooted St. George’s eleven, 32-28. With a four-touchdown
performance from co-captain Rotelli, the M.B. team jumped off to a
20-0 lead that it never lost. This victory evened the Quaker record at
3-3- Moses Brown next journeyed to Pomfret for a game which was

pass was run back 51 yard for a touchdown, and, with the two-point
conversion, Pomfret tied the score. In the final game of the season,

eleven, 44-0.

lighted by the awarding of the Quaker Most Valuable Player Award
to co-Captain Mike Rotelli. The Parents’ Boosters Association gave Wetzel flips one to Wheeler
