It’s
that time of year again, when temperatures top 100 � and the smell
of the locker room becomes unbearable–it’s football season. Facing a four season
long losing streak, the Falcons have nowhere to go but up. With the new navy blue uniforms
and experienced coaches, the Falcons not only look good, but they have a higher sense of
confidence this year.
Winning, however, is not the only motive going into the season; revenge
is the topic on most players minds. "All the hard work in the off season is finally
looking like its going to pay off this year," says senior Steve Cuckovich.
Disappointing defeats to Sacramento High, Jesuit, and McClatchy left bitter tastes in the
mouths of returning varsity players. All-Metro stars Joe Traverso, Richard Chinakwae, and
Albert Hollis will be ready to strut their stuff when the Metro League begins.
"Everyone is dedicated this season and there is a stronger sense of family between
teammates," said senior Ronnie Gayton.
The fourth game of the year, which is against Jesuit, is sure to be a
determining factor how this season will turn out. The battle against Sacramento High in
our Homecoming game this year should produce a very physical game filled with high
adrenaline and hot tempers. The record in the Holy Bowl as well as in the win column look
to be filled with promise. |
