"How many returning starters will there be?" How will the kids who are moving up fill the shoes of those who have left through graduation. Coaches face these questions at the beginning of each school year. Well, that's what the drawing boards art for, to see what they have to work with. The stars of the past are gone and new ones must rise to fill in the gaps, no matter how good one player was in the past there is always someone who can do equally as good if given the chance. This year the Madras White Buf faloes are like any other school. Their chances are just as good as the next to win the GOL crown. There might be some schools who The Chiloquin gals had Nora Ravard as an all-star and Chilo quin had Charlie Wilder as their all-star.

With the first couple of games of the year which are usually non league games give the coaches a chance to see his players in action and see what they can do in game situations. There are some good players from the team of last year and this is a different year. Some players grow and mature more and improve their play. The Madras White Buffaloes will make their first appearance on the Hood River Grid Iron, Friday, September 9, at 7:30 p.m. The Buffs have eight returnees and also have some pretty good people who are moving up from last year. Coach Rod Chester feels he has some boys that are capable of playing a lot of ball this year. The backfield will have some good depth especially with the returning of Jason Harris, a junior who made quite a showing for himself as a sophomore last year. Joel Martinez, Remo Smith, Aaron Scheider, Curt Cosgrove, Victor Muniz, Casey McKenzie, Todd Thawley all returnees who will have a hand on the football this year. In the line there will be Junior Maurice Smith, Jeff Potter, Rick Summers, Andrew Smith, Shawn Smith and Chad Duff... so there is some talent left over from last year to get the ball-a-rolling. There are also some younger guys coming up and will make the scene during the opening games of the year. There are boys who have seen action on both defense and offen sive teams of last year. The first home jame will be against Crook County Cowboys on September 16, who last year thrashed the Buffaloes 59-0. The following week will be the first con ference game at home against the Burns Hilanders on September 23. Burns is considered the dark horse of the league this year.
