Jayvee Football

 McKinley's jayvee football teams consistently sport good records, and this year was no exception. Although they failed to keep the Honolulu District title, new coach Leo Perreira found some talent in the almost all-new team.

The Cubs opened up the '76 season with a squeeze victory over Mililani, 8-6. A two-point conversion gave the Tigers their first win. However, one week later, McKinley fell to their first loss, 13-0 because of Kahuku's fantastic ball handling.

 Another two-point conversion pushed the Tigers over Campbell, 15-14. After McKinley took a 15-0 lead, Campbell scored two touchdowns in the final half to pull within one.

 Interceptions and penalties did in Kaimuki as the Cubs shut out the Bulldogs 26-0. This game moved them into second place with a 3-1 record.

 However, at the next game, the Micks traveled to Roosevelt only to be shut out, 13-0. Offside penalties killed the Tiger's chance and threw them into a three-way tie for second place with the Rough Riders and the Governors.

 Excellent teamwork and determination carried McKinley to a 21-0 victory over Farrington. The game was highlighted by an 80-yard TD run by Guy Aleka. Kaiser gained the Honolulu District title as they crushed the cubs 30-6. Kaiser ended up with an 8-0 record while McKinley trounced Kalani in their final game 27-0 to give them a 5-3 record.

Tigers and new coach unite, bring winning grid season in '76

Varsity Football

 It was a year of accomplishment as well as frustration for the Tigers' varsity football team. After losing the season opener to Kailua 37-14, the Tigers took the next week off filled with controversy. Different philosophy in coaching in the athletic department ended in the resignation of head coach Howard Gay.

 Because of the controversy, ex JV head coach Mike Marques was assigned by Principal Y.Y. Ko to take over as new head coach.

 Week after week, the Tigers improved. After first whipping Kalani 45-6, the Tigers showed their support for coach Marques. Although losing to central powerhouse Leilehua 34-12, they came back to beat Nanakuli and Kaimuki by identical 14-0 scores.

 Although two touchdowns were called back during the game against Kaiser, the Tigers still prevailed, to win over the Cougars. A last minute touchdown gave the Tigers a 15-14 edge.

 With McKinley still in contention for the District title, the Micks went into the Roosevelt game with two options. Losing to Roosevelt would mean the district title would automatically go to the Rough Riders. However, winning would throw the Honolulu district in a three way tie. With only one week left in the season, the Tigers rolled over Roosevelt 24-15.

 The season's final game was disastrous, with Farrington taking not only the game, but the district title from McKinley with a 95 yard run in the last three minutes of the game to win 12-7.
