cnown PLEASERS - Whof Goes Around Comes Around When you lose several start- ers to injuries at the beginning of the season, move up to a new district level, and put your sophomores against the other team's seniors, what comes around is going to be disap- pointment, This is what was felt with the season record being O- lO for the varsity and 4-lO for IV and freshmen. Because of injuries we had seven sophomores starting on offense and eight on defense, said Coach Bill Wade. This was like playing the boys against the men because the other teams were starting their juniors and seniors. While the fans may have been disappointed with the los- ing record, the players were frustrated. What l found frustrating was that the whole team was trying to win, but we just couldn't pull it off, said junior Eric Hill. Things went from bad to worse when the varsity ranks became so depleted that the IV team was dissolved and its members drafted to varsity and freshman teams. Before the IV team was broken up, both the IV and freshman teams did, however, capture some victo- ries. Having to compete against IV teams, the freshmen players gained a sense of accomplish- ment. l'd say that the team accom- plished how to tackle, block, and run, which helped us win a few games, said freshman Iason Mcfntyre. The freshmen learned a lot of things, and playing all those IV teams l think we'll be ready next year, said freshman Brett Houser. With all the talent and ex- perience returning, Coach Ken Shaver could do nothing but feel optimism and hope for the upcoming season. The fact that so many kids will be back even though they lost so bad is rewarding, said Coach Shaver. Maybe this season wasn't what it was cut out to be, but for the individuals who were associated with this season it was one of enjoyment, spirit, and, most of all, growing up.
