The next rtant thing we learned was that if we tstart playing together as a team, we d lose the rest of our games. The next veeks we did play as a team, we en- joyed ourselves and we won. Victories over Ready, Wehrle, and St. Charles put us back into the race for the CCL Champion- ship and a showdown with Hartley.

On offense, only three guys saw any ac- tion their previous year and we had six- teen new guys in the line up. What is even more encouraging is that even after some people thought we were finished, we ended up playing the last game of the season for the CCL Championship and a State Playoff Birth. This team carried on the tradition of DeSaIes' athletes of pride, teamwork and never giving up. - By Coach Pu

The second game was against Beechcroft, who had defeated us in past years. The game started out slow, but end- ed in a terrific victory, DeSaIes 28, Deechcroft O. During the season, the Stallions suffered only three losses. Two of these were b to back against Northland and Bed' Chanel. I believe we could have ec won both games but we got nipped at end. Our fifth game was against lv Philadelphia. The 1984 season was to the last year we played the Quaker: we had a strong desire to win. We did,
