IT’S MONDAY AND I WILL NOT LIE TO YOU I’M NOT
REALLY FOR SURE HOW TO PUT THE PENN GAME FROM SATURDAY INTO WORDS. ONE IT
WAS AN OUTSTANDING GAME AND
QUINCY
DESERVED THE WIN AS THEY WERE A WELL PREPARED FOOTBALL TEAM.
PENN SHOWED HEART LIKE THEY HAVE ALL YEAR BUT JUST CAME UP SHORT.
WHEN YOU LOOK BACK ON THE 2008 SEASON THE END WAS A DISAPPOINTMENT
BUT THE YEAR AS A WHOLE WAS NOT DISAPPOINTING. 7-4 AND 5-2 IN CONFERENCE NOT
TO SHABBY. RYAN VAN DALEN HAD A HISTORIC YEAR BY SETTING THE SCHOOL MARK FOR
YARDS RUSHING BY A QUARTERBACK AND WAS JUST SHY OF SETTING THE TOUCHDOWN
RECORD AS WELL. RYAN WAS AN MVP ALL YEAR AND I HOPE IT ENDS WITH A FIRST
TEAM HONOR FOR HIM.
LINCOLN
CAVANAUGH TOOK A BEATING THIS YEAR BEING THE FULL BACK IN THIS OFFENSE BUT
WEEK IN AND WEEK OUT CONTINUED TO GET STRONGER AS THE GAME WENT ON. THE
DEFENSE KEPT THE TEAM IN A
LOT
GAMES THIS YEAR AND DID ALL THEY COULD THROUGHOUT THE SEASON.
15 SENIORS PLAYED THERE LAST GAME SATURDAY AND THERE CONTRIBUTIONS
CANNOT BE MEASURED CAUSE THIS GROUP COULD HAVE PACKED IT UP AND LEFT EARLY
IN THERE CAREER BUT STAYED AND HELPED TURN THIS PROGRAM AROUND.
LOOKING AT NEXT YEAR THIS TEAM WILL HAVE HOLES TO FILL
BUT A TON OF FRESHMEN PLAYED SIGNIFICANT TIME AND PLAYED WELL. THERE SHOULD
BE NO REASON WHY PENN CANNOT BE RIGHT BACK IN THE THICK OF THE
MIDWEST
LEAGUE RACE AND AGING PUSH FOR A TITLE.
ST. AMBROSE IS KIND OF IN
A TRANSITION AND ARE NOT AS DOMINANT AS THEY HAVE BEEN,
QUINCY
AND ST. FRANCIS OF
ILLINOIS
CAN BUILD ON GOOD SEASONS. THE TEAM I WOULD BE MOST SCARED OF IS OLIVET BUT
THEY ARE MOVING TO THE MID EAST BUT COMING INTO THE CONFERENCE NEXT SEASON
IS WALDORF AND A VERY GOOD
GRANDVIEW
TEAM. 2009 WILL BE THE YEAR OF THE STATESMEN I CAN JUST FEEL IT.
