Even with some setbacks and defeats, the
drive was kept alive by all the players challenging each other to do their best.
Saturday night was most bittersweet victory that the Crete Cardinals had won all
year. Nobody gave them a chance to beat a much bigger Elkhorn team. Their student
body is over twice the size of Crete and they were undefeated coming into the
State Championship game.
The only people that seemed to think that Crete had a chance was our players, coaches and fans. The west side of Memorial Stadium was loud and the fans were rocking to support the Cardinals. Cody Wockenfuss put the Cardinals ahead on a 74 yard punt return that had all ten players have key blocks during the return. The defense never let Elkhorn get any momentum and our offense made hugh plays during the game.
The coaching staff, players and fans deserve all the credit on a "GREAT FOOTBALL SEASON" and winning the Class B State Football Championship. It is nice to see a "team" effort finally pay off!!!!
Congratulations to the players and coaches!!!
