The word “football is more likely to create mental images of a 250-pound linebacker annihilating the opponents' offensive line rather than pictures of a swift and lean running back crashing into the end zone for a touchdown. Why does the defense receive so much glory and recognition? Athletic director and head coach Al Clark says. “In the past, Dorman's football 'trade- mark' has been a good defense. John Metcalf, an important power on the field, gives the secret behind defensive success. “Defense is sacrific- ing your body and diving to make a last-minute tackle even though you know the odds are stacked against you and your chances aren't good. It's blocking your man and still going for the tackle. You have to be willing to go the extra mile even after you've already done your job. Metcalf played a major role in the Cavaliers' 24-0 victory over Rock Hill. He was re- sponsible for ten tackles, two quarter- back sacks, and a blocked punt. Although the defense played well, there was one major drawback that prevented them from having a winning season. “Because we had so many young, inexperienced players, there was a lack of consistency that would have allowed us to win more games than we did, says Clark. He is. howev- er, looking forward to great improve- ments in next year's returning players and feels that the experience they re- ceived this season will make a big dif- ference in their abilities.
