New Experience Football Players Learn New Skills What was your ideal Saturday morning? Sleeping until noon, watching cartoons, or staying in your pajamas all day? These luxuries were not in the schedules of the 7th and 8th grade football players. How does getting up at 8:00 and playing a tough game of football sound? It may not sound fun, but its what the 7th and 8th grade football players chose to do. Practicing five times a week, learning plays, and playing early games helped them to improve their skills for the years to follow. Eighth grader, Scott Conner of the red team com- mented ltllm glad that I went out for football because it helped me gain skill and coordination and it also helped me get ready for my freshman year in football. As the year progressed, they gained much need experi- ence and made many new friends, but above all they gained a new self image. Seventh grader, Paul Kowalik of the black team said uI thought practices were pretty hard, but they helped us a lot and I wanted to accomplish as much as I could for the team. Most of the football players found a lot of fun times and challenges from football, but there were also the dis- advantages, like being sore after the games or being in- jured. Most of the eighth grade guys who participated in football felt that it was a good experience for them because most of them will be trying out next year for a position on the freshman team. 80 Will it be a touchdown? . . .
