Crunch!! Defense, Power Highlight Season The football season proved that pride is definitely in the team’s vocabulary. The team finished the year with a 5-3 record in a very talented conference, whose top spot was shared by Sidney and Dalton-Leyton, both of which won close games against the up-and-coming Sailors. Sutherland developed quite a one-two punch in the form of a sirong offensive unit and a crushing defense. Some of the best offensive statistics in a long while were posted after a flurry of line changos that left the quarterback at center. However, the eliminating factor in the Sailors’ game plan was a defense that didn't understand the words pain, guilt, or impossible. These facts have been documented in such inspiring statistics as the Hyannis Longhorns gaining only 33 yards during the second half of the Homecoming game. The word for the year was not “big,” but “heart.” Under the direction of head coach Todd Chessmore and assistant coaches Doug Fastenau and Ken Thiele, the phrase “never say die’’ was reinstated to the Sailor football team.
