County Team which was Sc

Isreal, Richard Montgomery's
talented pass-catching end and
halfback has been named, Back
of the Year," Northwood's

Year." and Blair's conference
champion coach Joe Good Is

a vanguard of selection of the
A-man ALI County team.
AS in the past four years, the

defensive platoons due to the
specialization of the teams in

announced in Thursdays paper.
Isreal Best Receiver
Isreal, probably the best pass
receiver in Montgomery County
football history, is the second
boy to be picked for Back of
the Year" honors from Rock
vile. It is the third time in five
years that the award has gone
to a Richard Montgomery play
er. Fullback Mike Curtis, now at
Duke University, was given the
top award two years running.
The others who have received
the award are bees Kenny
Smith and Blair's Charlie Pryor.
The 17-year old Rockville
flash scored nine touchdowns
this season, seven on passes and
two on running plays. One
touchdown came on a brilliant
75-yard touchdown return of a
punt which accounted for Rich
ard Montgomery's only score in
an exciting 81 loss to Bethesda
Chevy Chase in a vital game of
the championship race eventual
ly won by Blair High School. Is
real also kicked Is extra points
for scoring total of SO points
for the season. This was nearly
half of Richard Montgomery's
153 point total for the season,
and second only in individual
points to Blair's Jerry Ricucci
who scored IA points. Isreal has
been an honor student at RMEIS
AOA Cic past year.
Hauff NOrthwoOd's First
Burly Fred Hauff is the first
Northwood player to be named
to the select group and the first
center to receive the award.
The 6-foot-4, 215-pound senior
was the only unanimous choice
of all the Montgomery County
League coaches and also receiv-
ed two votes from coaches of
the county's private schools.
Like Isreal, Hauff is an out
standing player on both offense
and defense and he has already
received several college athletic
grant award offers.
Hauff is a sure blocker on Of
Tense and a demon on defense
from his inebacker position.
I'VE always played Fred oppo-
site the opposing teams strong
est point" Northwood Coach
Jim DeMoss said. "He was al
ways at a disadvantage but al
ways did his job. He played in
every quarter of every game, a
real iron man."
Goods Second Crown
Joe Good, a 39-year-old pro-
duct of Georges Township, Pa,
and Duquesne University, post
ed his second championship in
five years as head coach at Blair
this season.
Under direction of the Rock
vile resident, the Blazers were
co-champions of the old Bi-Coun-
ty league with Richard Mont
gomery in 1859 and runners-up
to B-CC in the same league in
1857.
Although Good was an All
Eastern honorable mention half
back with Duquesne and back
with the Pittsburgh Steelers, he
handles the line for Blair and
regularly produces some of the
best running guards in the area.
This year was no exception as
Blair's Brian Tierney and bees
Tom Pollard were the two top
nominations behind Hauff for
the 'Lineman of the Year"
honor.
Goods record in five years at
the Silver Spring school is 80
wins, 8 losses, and 1 tie. He
taught for three years at Blair
before being named head coach
in 1857, and was in the County
school system two years at Ken
sington Junior High. He taught
five years at Georges Township
before coming to the County.
