Although many of the players will return next year to compete for die Dinos, many more will be leaving. It was quite sad to watch the seniors play in their last game. For many of them, this will be the end of their football career. Some of them will move on to play ball for colleges, but many of them will not, commented coach Jorgensen. So for, the only player to have signed a contract to play college football is Jorgensen who will compete for the University of Utah. Although many others intend to play, no definite decisions have been made as to where these players will go. Well, the long and disappoint ing season is now over. Despite finishing the season with an overall record of 2--7, this years Dino team is victorious. They have competed in a rough sport and have stood tall with pride throughout the difficult season.
