Tractors roll in high gear 4T This year's football team had one of the best seasons ever to be found in Fordson history. According to Coach Jestice, this team played closer to their potential than any team that he has ever coached. This accounted for their outstanding performances. This team was ranked number one in all of the polls, which was the first time in Fordson’s history that a foot- ball team received this recognition. Being ranked number one puts a lot of pressure on the team, but Coach Jestice states, They played well with all that pressure on them. During the season, the team never once went sky high because of the polls. The team was undisputably the champs of the Great Lakes Eight Association. They also were the city champs by overpowering the tough Edsel Ford team in the last game of the season. Next year's team has the potential of having a good season, but the only way to find out if they will have a good season is to wait until next season.
