By:Dylan Schafer GOBLES JV FOOTBALL SAC NORTH CHAMPIONSHIP A TESTAMENT TO THE SUPPORT OF MANY The Tigers traveled to Fennville on October 15th and both the offense and defense were running on all cylinders defeating the Blackhawks 46-0. We were able to get a lot of kids in the game and everyone played a part in the win. Jacob Millward started the scoring for the tigers and ended the game with 2 touchdowns; we had 5 different players get into the end zone. Travis Chandler led all rushers with 92 yards and two rushing touchdowns; he also threw for another one to tight end Adam Fifer. Tyler Stedman and Myan DeHaan also found the end zone for the Tigers. Jason Boyer and Jason Holland each had a 2- point conversion. The Tigers clinched the SAC NORTH CHAMPIONSHIP the following Thursday night when the Indians of Saugatuck forfeited to the Tigers. Gobles went 8-2 on the season and 5-0 in a very tough and competitive SAC North. The Indians did send over a squad to scrimmage the Tigers on Thursday. Jacob Millward led all rushers for the Tigers with 116 yards. Travis Chandler found the end zone twice and went 2-2 passing for 75 yards. Michael Myers pitched in with 7-yard touch down run and Tyler Stedman took a kick off back 80 yards for a touchdown. The offensive line did a great job up front. Our very successful season was based on the commitment of many. We would like to say thank you to the parents for their dedication to the program, we couldn’t have done it without their support. A special thank you to Jason Boyer, Jason Holland, Marc VanHeukelum and Richard Rasmussen and to my wife Ruth for your time and dedication to our team.

Congratulations to the cross teams on their outstanding performance at regionals. Austin Bertuca started the day with a 20th place finish. Followed by Braden Bertuca who also had his best time of the season. On the girls side sophomore Heather Davis led the girls team by placing 12th and qualifying for the state finals. The state finals are going to be held at Michigan International Speedway. Followed by Brianna Martinez who ran one of her best races and placing 22nd. Great job everyone! The Cardinals came out strong in the first quarter moving the ball well and eating up the clock. Unfortunately, their first drive stalled just short of scoring and the Blackhawks from Fennville found the end zone in just two plays. The first quarter ended with a score of 6-0. The second quarter was all Fennville as they scored 28 unanswered points and went in at half time leading Bloomindale 34-0. The Cardinals defense stepped up and played tough the final half as they only gave up 8 points. The Cardinals offense churned out about 200 yards for the night; however, there were just too many mistakes preventing them from finding the end zone. The Cardinals fought hard right up to the end as they prevented Fennville from scoring in the last seconds with a William Mills interception. and Logan Holtsclaw (7 carries - 40 yards). The defensive leaders were Antonio Salinas (7 tackles, 1 FR) and David Mandujano (7 tackles). Despite all of the adversity, the Cardinals Varsity football team battled the whole season and never quit. It did not matter if there were injuries or if they had just suffered through a lopsided loss, they came out to do their jobs and get better. That kind of steadfast will to be persistent and choose to work hard regardless of the circumstances is pivotal in the pursuit of success. As Coach Vince Lombardi stated – “The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will”. It is the Cardinals’ will to get better that is laying the foundation for building a successful program and establishing tradition for the future. Keep working hard – it’s a beautiful day to get better. CYCLE ! W Wee SSeellll FFuunn!
