Sports

Football leads off our sports season and always creates a good following. Charlie Fayter and Ron Petersen were our co-captains and lead us to a 3-3-3 record. When was the last time any football team had three ties in one season? That has got to be a world record on some level. By mid-November football hands the baton to basketball for twenty-one games, entertaining us until Spring sports, mainly baseball and track, draws the spotlight. The team ended the season 13-8. Seven classmates were guided through the baseball season by coach Gene McKamey: Ed Bowen, Frank Davis, Charlie Fayter, Paul Giovannetti,Gordon Langevin, Greg Reeder, and Larry Wolfe. An unknown fact in the sports world at Cloverdale High is that the most accomplished and successful athlete in the 125 year history of the school is a member of our Class of '65 - Arnold Mendoza. See the January 8 post for Arnold's story.  His roots took hold at C.H.S.
