Varsity his yearys Varsity Football team had a rough year. Head Coach, Mr. George Endres, who has been Cen- tral's Varsity Football coach for the last eight seasons, blames the bad season on a down cycle . Central has been on this down cy- cle for a couple of years,', says Coach Endres, it will pick up!', All the players, this year had good attitudes. Their preparation was out- standing. Part of the preparation was seventh hour weight training. Players are aware that football is a twelve-month sport. They have constant weight and workout programs. There is no off sea- son in football! emphasized Coach Endres. The team captains were Garrett Karstens and Jesus Saucido. One of their main responsibilities was keeping the team spirit high. Spirit was at its peak when Central won its biggest game, Homecoming! This was a superb confi- dence builder for the team. To me, football is the finest experi- ence a young man can have. As long as the player strives to be the best he can be, no matter win, lose or draw, then football has been a valuable benefit to the athlete, concluded Coach Endres.
