Player Of The Week
BY JOHN PHILLIPS
Isaac Lagrone’s 30-yard touch­
down run in the fourth quarter, and the
all-im portant tw o-point conversion, led
the Roosevelt Roughridcrs to victory
over the unbeaten Minutemen from
Marshall, 14-13. It was Roosevelt’ s
first w in in 21 games over a three-year
period; but none sweeter than this one!
coming into the game, Marshall
was 3-0 and Roosevelt 0-3. So it was
safe to say and assume that Marshall
would be victorious over the basement
dwellers, the Roughridcrs. But first year
coach Jim MacDicken had improved
Roosevelt week by surprise, and that
someone happen to be unbeaten
Marshall.
This w ill not be Roosevelt’ s last
w in o f the season. L o o k fo r the
Roughriders to improve w ith each game
they play.
Congratulations, Roosevelt! Way
to go!

This week’ s Portland Observer
Player o f the Week is Isaac Lagrone o f
Roosevelt High School.
Lagrone led the Roughriders to a
14-13 upset w in over Marshall. It was
the first win for Roosevelt in over two

He ran for 55 yards on 15 carries. But
Coach Jim MacDicken pointed out that
it was Lagronc’ s blocking in this game
that was the key.
So for an outstanding effort, we at
The Pordand Observer take our hats o ff
to Player o f the W eek, M r. Isaac

selves, but to benefit their students. In ­
deed, in 1990, a survey by the Carnegie

Teaching found that 96% o f Am erica’ s
teachers annually spend an average o f
S250 o f their own money on school-
related items ranging from textbooks to
computer software to professional en­
richment activities. Portland-area teach­

promote a healthy environment by learn­
ing how to reduce, reuse and recycle
their garbage!

develop and implement successful waste
management stratcgies-including source
reduction, recycling and composting pro­
grams-teachers w ill play an increas­
ingly crucial role in public education.

Portland citizen.

mental and home economics educators
