II otba Fo I Var s 'ty Varsity football players worked hard this year to earn a new reputation. However the players received their reward be- fore they even played their first game. During summer practices head coach Pat 0'NeiII present- ed the team with new uniforms that stood out with a touch of eye-catching red. The new armor had red and white stripes down the sides of the black pants and red outlined numbers on the jerseys. There was also a new emblem on the helmet highlighting the school name in red and black. When the Knights charged onto the field dressed-to-kill for their first game against Burges, the cheering crowd no- ticed a change in team spirit. lt's been proven players get a psychological lift when they are wearing a new uniform, ex- plained Coach O'Neill. And what a lift they got! Offen- sive and defensive back David Sims said the new uniforms helped a bunch. Sims contin- ued by adding, When the fans saw the new uniforms, they had a new spirit. Coach O'Neill appreciated all the support the team received from the student body at the pep rallies and games. He also en- joyed the support the team gave back.
