It started with two practices a day in August and three weeks later you're ready. The giants from T.F. South visit us, and even though the scoreboard said 8-0, you don't feel like you won. The next week you play dead for 47 minutes before escaping with a 7-3 decision against Rich East. Conference foe Kankakee Westview is rolled over 42-0. On Bradley's muddy field you win 14-0. For home- coming it's a lot of fun beating Crete-Monee 50-6. Rodriguez and Lincolnway go down 22-7 and Rich South falls 48-6. Then the South Central Super Bowl against unbeaten archrival Oak Forest, the school with the TP burned in the middle of their field. The rain didn't keep many from missing this game. And as you stand in the hallway waiting for -the game to start, you're a little wet and nervous. But once you run onto that field, and you see all the banners and the stands full of people and they start to play the school song, you get a great feeling inside. Titans 30, Bengals 0. No offense to Catholics, but Tinley Park is a mudder superior. We finish Kankakee Eastridge under the lights 46-8. The play- offs against Rich Central, the only team the seniors have ever lost to. Revenge is sweet, to the tune of 21-13. And in between the games there were newspaper and television coverage, and after they were over there were the banquets, and then the Vice-Presidentls visit. There's lots of memoiies to such a season. Just don't forget 'em.
