Varsit Football As coaches, we were very proud of our season. We feel we played good, sound, and often exciting football. Our team, though small and somewhat inexperienced showed constant hustle and steady improvement week to week. Our 8 and 2 season record is one the players may be proud of and with a little different bounce of the ball we could have won them all. This years team displayed outstanding defense, shutting-out five opponents and allowing only our Old Rival, Woodlake to score more than one touch down. On offense we were also very satisfied with over a 300 yd. average per game and 224 points scored to our opponents 42. We think each player can be proud of having been a member of one of Orosi's finest football teams, as we are proud of to have been their coaches.

Each league game was a cliff-hanger . The players and coaches can take pride in a season which saw the junior Cards come from behind several times to win in the closing minutes of the game. The mark of a true champion is one who never quits even when he seems to be hopelessly behind. Who can forget our win over Dinuba after being down 20-6 and then coming back to win 24-20 in the last 30 seconds of the game? Who can forget the tremendous defensive effort made at Kingsburg or the 70 yard pass interception that won the game? If football is a game meant to provide excitement and entertainment for the fans, then we have accomplished our goal. . This season will hold many special memories for those of us who were a part of this team for years to come. My special thanks to each player, the managers, and Coach Bellin for their efforts.
