Ravenswood Still Has Hopes Up RAVENSWOOD it didn't take long for the injury bug to hit Ravenswood's Red Devils. As a matter of fact, it took only one day as quarterback Joe Fox suffered a shoulder injury in the opening practice. It hasn't stopped since. Right halfback Scott Clendenin is lost for eight weeks with a broken right wrist and left halfback Dennis Miller is out with a back injury. That's hard to take for a team that has 19 returning letterman from a 7-2-1 season last year.

"We're still very hopeful this season. We've lost some good boys right now, but most of them will be back and when they are ready to play again, we'll field a good team." remarked Ravenswood coach Fred Taylor. The Red Devils lost only three players from last year's offensive team. Returning are tackles Gary Haid and Mike a a Redifer and Tom Adkins. center Rick Boggess and Gary Roark.

Defensively, Ravenswood has Gordon Hopper and Dean A a a Steve Seagraves and Greg Maddux at ends, Roark, Redifer and Vic DeRido at linebackers and Fox at halfback. All started last year.

"That's something to be going with sophomores on a club such as ours, but these boys did well in our scrimmage's and they deserve the job," Taylor said. "We have a lot of boys back from a good team.
