LETTERMAN RETURNS . . . Almost exclusively an offensive player last year, returning letterman Jim Rymars (42) is slated to be one of the defensive mainstays in Assumption’s football strategy this year. 5'10 , 176 lb. Rymars enjoys playing both offense and defense, and Coach Tom Sunder- bruch has Jim starting tonight in the defensive fullback position. Says Coach Sunderbruch, “We had Jim playing only offensive ball last year. He developed rapidly, took our coaching real well, and turned out to be a major prospect for a defense regular.” The coaches all agree that Jim is “a real aggressive, ‘hard-nosed’ kid.” They also con- cur on the fact that, “He’s one of the team’s best blockers and we’re depending on him in our toughest defensive position.” Another of Jim’s assets is his speed. Said Coach Sunderbruch, “Jim really surprised us. He turned out to be a real fast kid — one of our fastest backs.” Said to be the “unsung figure” of Assump- tion, Rymars considers physical conditioning a year-round job. To stay in top condition, Jim lifts weights, works outside all summer, and wrestles, which, he says, “really helps keep me in shape.” In forecasting the coming season, Jim said, “Our backfield is real fast and looks good. Our spirit is real strong, and more than com- pensates for any lack of returning veterans. Our defense is also good.” Jim looks forward to the games against West and Central to be “real hard-fought contests.” In the opinions of coaches and team mem- bers, Rymars is the combination of a recep- tive, coachable, unassuming personality and an exceptional football player. As the Times- Democrat Pigskin Prevue said, Rymars is ex- pected to “put some punch in the (Assump- tion) running attack from the fullback spot.” Assumption fans are betting on it.
