Was it because the news media openly predicted that the team was to be the leading contender for the 1973 Commonwealth District Title? Was it because they were overprepared or were they underprepared? These are just part of the endless list of ques- tions asked by everyone including the football players and the coaches. Asked why the team did poorly, a football player answered, “I think what the team needs is the spirit of togetherness and the will to win the game. A lot of guys here have the skill but they lack this spirit. If you really love to play football, then you’re going to dedicate your time in practicing and putting your whole heart and mind into the game.” In the last game of the season, the team finally got tlvmselves together. The team really put their minds into the game; they knew they had to win and they did. They beat Lane! Next season, hopefully, our team will have the spirit they had at the last game and the skill to make a good winning team. Richardson and Gilbert close in on the runner.
