He caught a 55 yard pass for one touchdown against Layton and returned a punt 52 yards for another. Every team geared its defense to Stop Freddy and some did it, but not many.

He is being carefully watched by all of the Utah colleges, and several from out of state. Fernandes is not a big man. He weighs 175 is barely 59 tall, and he is for but pound pound pounds, toughest in the league. He is a dedicated leader, and popular with his teammates. He has the ability to get his teams up for that big play, and has the tools to run it for them. Fred is best as a wide receiver, but did an outstanding job for Coach Jacklin this year as a running back. He has the speed to get around the corner, and the agility to squirt through the line. His opponents may taunt him, but they respect him, and seek him out after the game to shake his hand. Fred Fernandes did not get a unaminous vote as M.V.P. in Region One but his name was mentioned as a possibility by every coach.
