And above and beyond all the hae 1 l)eeil hf football teams Ive ever coached, this years squad fee the first time does not poeseae a superstar or a player who can make or break every game Instead weve got a group of athletes who will be fighting and scraping every inch of the game Its vital that we get a win in the first or second game. We need confidence in our selves to pick up those wine. All the talent and team morale in the world cant equal up to desire and confidence You cant win without it, its as simple as that Coach Hannum repeated over and over last year that he wanted his players to believe in themselves and what they could accomplish The players respected him and his word but maybe they THE FOUR HORSEMEN and their leader, 1. to r., team captains DeVerl Hoskins, Jim Arrant, Jay Welk and Con Wilcox.
