Football Has Record Year The Cardinals had a banner year, attaining many goals and achieving many firsts in the history of football at W-L. Led by coaches Alexander and Hatcher, the Cardinals pound- ed their way through the regular season and into the state playoffs. The season started with a bang with a victo- ry over Macon, 28-0. The second game, the loss to Argenta 33-24, turned out to be one of the most important games of the year. Jerome Berger said of this game: “In the second half of that loss, we did not give up, as we had so many times in the past. We had desire and a will to be the best.” In the third game, the Cardinals destroyed state-ranked Shelbyville; they then beat Tre- mont and then Peoria Heights. Homecoming was a total success as the Cards routed Eureka 48-15. Then came the Cards worst rival — St. Te- resa. The team that had beaten the Cards for over ten years straight went down 21-14. Sulli- van and Monticello were the next victims of the Cardinal rampage. In the state playoffs, the Cards played a close game at home against Tuscola, stuck it out, and won. They then got a taste of revenge by defeating Argenta at their place, 21-13. The Cards were in the quarter finals. They played Marshall away, before a tre- mendous Cardinal caravan. After the 31-7 win, the Cardinals were surprised with a re- ception in the gym. In the semi-final game, played at home, the Cardinals lost to an excellent Deer Creek- MacKinaw team. But the losers were winners. We made a memory. The MVP award went to The Team. The Outstanding Defensive Player award and the Charles Halford Lineman award went to Bubba Harmon. The Outstanding Offensive Player was Jerome Berger. Berger and Har- mon were named to the All Macon County Football team, and Berger was selected for the All State Football team. 2 1.
