McCabe saddled with responsibility
Kevin McCabe, a burly half
back, is a sophomore at lone
High School. He is also the
Sophomore
Leadership
lone Cardinal football team's
experience.
He offers to his teammates
leadership in football experi
ence and attitude. He has been
the consistent leading ground
gainer for the Cards this
season.
But his real talent on the
grid iron may be using his feet
in a different manner than just
running with the football.
McCabe has made a name
for himself as a punter. He is a
darn good one, too.
McCabe has averaged 45
yards per punt throughout the
season, with a 65 yarder to his
credit.
His punts are usually long,
high flying spirals, the kind
college coaches dream about.
There Is little question that
if McCabe continues to boot
the ball the way he does now
that a college football future
could be In store.
McCabe'i attitude concern
ing this losing season is a
candid view that represent!
the entire team. He doesn't
tike it.
Nobody does. But McCabe
and his teammates are facing
the Inevitable this year and
talking about future years.
"At first, we were down
quite a bit," McCabe said.
We had no size, no experi
ence... but after we got start
ed, we began to feel better
about it."
McCabe and the Cards
realize their 1976 plight. It's
following years they look for.
The best game of the year,
McCabe said, was the Cards
loss to Mt. Vernon. -32. Why?
Because lone scored points.
"We're talking about what
we're going to do," McCabe
said of the players' feelings
toward later years. "I'm look
ing for 1979," the year hell be
a senior.
McCabe maintains that the
Cards are improving every
game, but realizes that no

matter how much they Im
prove, they must face the fact
that they are "small and
inexperienced." But that will
change.
McCabe said he hasn't
heard any bad talk and that is
an encouragement.
Hoping for the first win, he
thinks Cascade Locks might .
be the number. They are the
"same as us," he said, and the
first win would "sure help in
the next games."
For now, McCabe and the
Cards will have to continue
with their losing season.
They are small and Inex
perienced. But like Kevin
McCabe said, that will
change. So will that record.
Wait and see.
