Although It Was A Year

Of Rebuilding, The Men

Performed Better Than

M

* «'■ • 1 Although the loss of eight quality

players from the previous season left

many gaps, the Lord brought together

a team blending newcomers with

some veterans which accomplished

more than was anticipated. The chief

molding factor was the team’s com­

mitment to its theme, “We make it

our goal to please God.” Regular Bi­

ble studies and devotionals focused

attention on this theme from many

angles. Its application to the different

experiences of the season proved over

and over that “Our God is an awe­

some God.”

Another key factor in the team’s

accomplishments was the help given

by the coach’s assistant, Bruce Edgar.

His outstanding knowledge of the

game, his training innovations, and

his encouraging spirit motivated the

players tremendously.

Highlights of the season included

double wins over Webber (the second

of which was keyed by Mike Smith’s

five goal outburst), and an exciting 2-

2 draw against Miami Christian on

their field.

the team, kicks a pass

other returning player.

Although preventing

them as much as pos­

sible is important, inju­

ries are an inevitable

part of an athlete’s life.
