The Homecoming game between the Kougars and Winamac appeared des- tined to be different from past years of football losses for the Kougars. The team had won the first two games of the season and had lost the next two by very narrow margins. Although the Kougars were plagued by injuries, hope was high and everyone ' s spirits were soaring for this could be the first Homecoming triumph in five years. Excited Kankakee Valley fans encour- aged the Kougars to play their best against their Winamac rival. A win could be revenge for past losses to this strong team. Kougars put up a good fight, but the final score was 33-6 in favor of the Warriors. Were the Kougars and their fans dis- couraged by this bit of bad luck? Of course not,” they said. We’ll beat them next year. Opposite Left: Junior Brian Morales watches intently from the sidelines after being benched for an injury.
