Bee Coach Tot Workman says Green River has been averaging 32 points per game while holding the opposition to 14 points. Itll mark the first meeting between the two schools. An interesting sidelight will be the presence of Ken Harsha in the Green River lineup at quarterback. Harsha was the QB for Workman at Snow Flake, Ariz., last year and led his team to a 10-- 1 season mark. Kens brother, Todd, also is a member of the Wyoming club, performing at fullback but has suffered a thumb injury and may see only limited action.
