Leroy III (1) returns to duty and makes his first play by dropping a Waikele Wildcat runner on their sideline.
Arrin (2) receives a nice pass from Adonay and gets good Ram yardage
Adonay (7) lets another pass fly today. This guy was a tough cookie, playing most of the year with cracked ribs... He gets the Coachs' tough guy award this year. Great job for a first time QB.
Freddie (33) makes a great spinning catch of Adonay's pass deep in Waikele territory
Leroy III (1) takes the steamroller, breaks outside, then decides to head upfield...

Leroy III (1) shakes off the linebacker tackle and fights to keep his balance...
Leroy III (1) loses his fight with gravity and dives for another couple of yards. Great job Jack!

Rudy (44) steps up his game and gets a sack
Leroy III (1) makes a split second decision and determines the penalty is less painful than Adonay getting blindsided by a Wildcat rusher... What a clearly visible clip...
Coach Jackson receives the Friendship Bowl trophy, and thanks everyone for contributing to the season. Coach also received the invitation from Waikele to visit them in Hawaii for next year's 3rd Annual Friendship Bowl. South Gate has first dibs on making that trip, so all of you returning Midgets make sure you bug Coach Al and get him working on raising the funds to visit Hawaii, if you don't go to the Super Bowl!
It was a tough but enjoyable season, and as I retire from tackle football, I wish all of my Rams the best in the future. I will make up a stat sheet for you to download so that you can fill it in and keep me posted on how your seasons go. I want to see all of you play, but I can only be in one place at a time. I hope I get to see you play, and we are working hard on making Freddie a continuing Ram at South Gate HS next season! Thank you to all of my players and parents. Coach Jackson, Ram Pride for life!!!
