SCHS Pigskin Finalé

My alma mater Indians Indians dropped a 23-26 decision to the Jackson County Panthers last Friday evening, thereby finishing the season at a disappointing 3-7 overall and 2-5 in Region 8AAA. After beginning the 2009 season with a 30-point loss to Flowery Branch, the Indians’ other six losses came by a combined 36 points, showing that, win or lose, the team was competitive in the remainder of its games.

Just how disappointing the season was may be gleaned by reviewing the past few seasons: in 2006, the Indians finished the campaign at 10-2 overall, 6-0 in Region 8AAA, losing to Carrollton in the second round of the state playoffs; in 2007, the Indians posted a record of 11-1 overall, 6-0 in Region 8AAA, losing in the second round of the state playoffs to Chamblee; last year, the Indians completed the season at 8-3 overall, 6-1 in Region 8AAA, losing to Flowery Branch in the first round of the state playoffs.

Oh well, as is said by sports fans the world over – “Wait till next year.”
