Puppies Prove Powerful! Puppies proved powerful in the 1982 Football Season. Coaches and team worked well together to make the year a success. Mr. Rick Smith commented that the entire team was outstanding. He stated, From the first day of practice to the very last hour, they worked hard together and played hard together. Enthusiasm was also a big part of their success. Although East Grand Rapids and Northview were tough, they still managed to maintain their perfect record. They stuck it out against even the most competitive teams. The most spirited players were Dan Ferris, Mike Force, and John Sitka. Their enthusiasm lasted throughout the season. Mr. Smith commented, What I expect from my players is to give 110 percent always and a lot of enthusiasm. lAl Ken Mills running the play.
