It was the most anticipated game of the year; the game against our arch rivals. It was the Christian Cougars against the Wilco Falcons. Throughout the first half of the game, we

when that adversity comes our way. As was the case this past year in football for me. For me, the most painful and most disheartening game one year (2016), then became the most amazing and elated game I would ever experience when we played the next year (2017). Shut out. Shattered. Eradicated – these are just a couple words that I attempt to use to describe the rivalry game of 2016.
