FOOTBALL ’93

Venice Gondoliers

CO-COACHES: Tony Chretin, sixth year; Kirk Alexander, second year.

1992 RECORD: 5-5, 5-2 in Coastal Conference.

PREDICTION: The Gondoliers will uphold a run-oriented tradition using multiple I formations with occasional one-back sets. Experience is their strength, with the offensive line returning intact. The defense has strong inside linebacking. The team should finish near the top of conference.
