FOOTBALL , . . . You Must Have Good Players To Work With, And We Did.' Football The 1981 Football season storIed with a lot of new faces. There was a new head cooch. three new cssrtcnts. a new offense. and a new stadium, Head cooch Molesworth, a 1952 graduate, returned to his alma mater after a highly scccssstortern with the Freder- ick County school system. With him he brought a new offense. The wishbone had decoyed and the open-end T featuring an unbalanced line and a sprint-out pass, was introduced After some time of training and practice, the offense came together very nicely under senior Quarterback Jim Selfridge and the team went on to a 5-3-1 record. Offensively, the team was able to gain 252 yards per game and overage 18points per game. Sel- fridge himself averaged 159.6 yards total of- fense per game, ron for eight touchdowns, threw for six more, and rushed for a pair of two-point conversions. The Defense was once again the "pride" of Western Maryland College Football. The defensJve unit did allow almost 258 yards per game, but were very stingy with the bread and butter. allowing less than 12 points per game.
