Six and two; not bad, I guess. A little bit better than most; not as good as seven and one, but almost. Three words, six and two, not a fair summation of the season. Numbers cannot express hard work and dedication. They do not show the sweat and muscle that went into every game, win or lose. For the linemen, it was hour upon hour of hitting the sled and each other. For the backs, it was running a countless number of patterns, catching passes, and perfecting moves. For Mr. Kirkby, it was a great pride in seeing his players perform to their best, a pride that he spread to his staff and, even more importantly, to his players. This record of six and two was the best this team could compile. Only a disputed call prevented seven and one, which would have been the best in the school ' s history. The team was a success; the season, a triumph. . -
