The Knights Varsity Football team started the season with a road trip to Booneville, Indiana. The two and a half hour journey was very tiring, but the team was still able to pull off a win. After the game, the players and coaches spent the night in Washington, Indiana. The season ' s only casualty was Matt Hainje, who fractured his jaw in three places during the first offen- sive play of the Terre Haute North game. fvlr. Keith Lehnen, who replaced fvlr. Jim Croussore as head coach, came up with something new to help keep his players motivated. He gave a football to the player or players who contributed the most to the winning of a game. Tony Weber received the Football after the Booneville game; Don Peccia and Jon Sullivan each received one after the Delphi game. The football season wasn ' t all work and no play. On rainy days, many of the freshman found them- selves lying in mud-puddles-that had gotten there with a little help from the juniors and seniors. The last few practices were spent scrimmaging each other. These games often got to be pretty wild, and were a lot of fun for the players. The varsity football team didn ' t have a winning season this year, but they did their best as representa- tives of CC. With the support of the fans and the help of the coaching staff, the Knights grew together and had a good time. 1: Dominic Halsmer proudly receives the scholastic award from principal Father Ed- ward Dhondt. 2: Jon Sullivan waits patiently while a coach looks over his sprained ankle. 3: Team manager Bob Lueken helps out the Knight team by keeping game statistics. 4: Coach Lehnen and his assistants watch intently as a Knight game plan unfolds. 5: Out running his opponent, Shane Deboer runs for a touchdown. 6: Showing off their cowboy hats, the football team waits to leave for the Booneville game. varsity 183
