ou vvim some. .. ou win r-3ome!! i c t i o n a r y definition of a team is a group of people work- ing or playing togeth- er with a common purpose. But for the freshman football team, it was working and playing, and the purpose was to win. The freshmen start- ed off their undefeated season with a bang by defeating Moore West 26 to 16. As the season went on, they came closer and closer to their goal-to become an un- defeated team. During the summer the freshmen came up to the school and were out on the field prac- ticing between two and two and a half hours, two times a day, five days a week for two weeks. Once school started, they practiced every day after school. When asked if it was worth it, Matt Herndon said, Yes, if you want something, you have to work hard for it, you just can't get it free.

When asked why foot- ball was important, Winn said, I am go- ing to try to be a pro- fessional. Others played foot- ball just because they liked it. When Monty Rum- sey was asked why he played football, he said jokingly, It gives me something to do and excuses not to do my homework. I also like it! Football was impor- tant to all football players, but to the Cubs it's more than important. Travis Yost said, I always play at my ful- lest ability because if I didn't, I would be let- ting the whole team down. Most of the players were from Highland East. To them a win- ning season wasn't new. Last year High- land East went unde- feated so the guys from Highland East were really excited when they were unde- feated again this year. When Tony South- erland was asked how he felt about being un- defeated he said proudly, I feel great about our undefeated season. We worked hard and we deserved it! The coaches also worked hard to make this one of Central's best years yet. Mark Evans said, I know these are the best coaches I've ever had, and I learned a lot this year about foot- ball and life overall.

Central, for years, had a tradition for great football, and this year was no exception. Sophomore Kyle McDonald was asked what he remembered most about the season. He said, The barn. The barn was one of Coach Mike Hooper's ways of making a point during practice. The players would have to run to the barn however many times Coach Hooper saw fit. Another rough thing about prac- tice was the two-a-days at the first of the season. The sophomores compiled a 6-1 record. They played mostly juniors.
