Coach praises team spirit

‘A remarkable group
of. young men’ is the
way head coach Bill
Bowes described his
North Shore Cougars
this week after the
young clubs first win of
the season on Saturday.

After losing six straight
games the Cougars, who,
according to Bowes, have
never been out of any of the
games they have lost, nailed
Surrey Rams by ai 20-7
count.

With 32 of the 40 man
roster only 19 years of age,
the Junior Big Four squad
finally put it all together with
as much desire as skill,

Cougar touchdowns came
on a pair of passes by

ew

Quarterback Bill Biles to

Gordon Rough and Perry
Mazzone.

Mazzone also picked up
two converts and a pair of

field goals for a 14 point
afternoon.

Defensively the Cougars
didn't let up. Behind the
work of linebacker James
Patterson, the North Shore
squad picked up four in-
terceptions and six sacks in
the hard hitting game.

Patterson, who is
described by Bowes, as an
‘exceptional young man’ was
responsible for two of the
sacks and also knocked

down a pair of Surrey pass
attempts.

Bowes is high on all his
players and coaching staff.

He is proud of the way his
team hung together after the
