9th Grade Football We went into our season with great optimism. Our pre-season practice had been such that we were expecting to go undefeated. Our first two games in which we came out victorious, proved that our evaluation of our talent was accurate. lt was during the second game that the turning point of our season took place. Flay Sekula, our leading ball carrier, was injured to the extent that he saw only limited service, and that at half speed, for the rest of the season. This indeed was a costly injury. The rest of the season was a struggle. ' Losing Fiay meant breaking up a backfield that had scored touchdowns the first six times we had the ball on offense. Following Ray's injury we had a difficult time finding the right combina- tion for our backfield which meant we just didn't score much. Our defense was better than aver- age, with John Olsen turning in outstanding performances. However, by the last game of the season, we had gone through a number of key injuries, as a re- sult our season turned out to be quite a disappointment. We will conclude by stating that the talent this team possesed has not yet been fully realized. We are anxiously awaiting to see the type of performers the members of our team will be. We are predicting that we will hear much and read about the successes these people will bring about for their high schools. We wish you many injury-free seasons and great success.
