Show CHRONICLE SPORTS & RECREATION Wednesday, November 14, 1979, page 4 Coach Edwards speaks at football banquet As a climax to the football season a banquet was held Wednesday evening in the Payson The High School Cafeteria. evening was a tribute to the individuals responsible. The program was planned and carried out by the football captains for this year: Gary Stewart, David Hiatt, Alan Page, and Frank Brimhall.

Not all the black powder enthusiasts who headed for the hills this weekend were dressed in buckskin like this mountain man. However, hundreds of sportsmen were out trying their luck with the primative muzzleloading weapons. The guns are replicas of those used by the mountain men in the 1820s and 30s. They are loaded by pouring a powder charge down the barrel, placing a patch and a ball (ranging in size from 45 to 54 caliber) in the barrel and tamping it home with a ram-roA percussion cap is then placed on the firing nipple at the breech of the barrel. When the trigger is pulled the hammer strikes the cap causing sparks to fly into the powder charge. The powder explodes sending the bullet out the barrel. To fire again the whole process must be repeated so a muzzle loader hunter, using iron sights, usually only gets one shot at a deer. The muzzle loader hunt will continue until November d. The tables were decorated in green and white by members of the drill team, flag twirlers, and cheerleaders. A ham dinner was enjoyed by approximately 350 guests. Special tribute was paid to Dr. Hogan for his caring for the team, and personally. professionally He spends a lot of time and is a special friend to each player. Special tribute was also given to the parents of the players, and to the girls (cheerleaders, drill and flag) who work so hard to make the season a success. Each senior member was given a rose, their leader a corsage. Each of the coaches were given tribute and a gift by the team. 18.
