Cardinals Go Home Empty Handed
We all can remember the times when we cherish a special moment. Whether it is a special date or a family reunion or in this case Car-dinal football. The Cardinals have had a season we all can remember.
According to nepre-pzone.com Steer had 1096 rushing yards and ended with a 3-6 record with wins against Seward, Columbus and Waverly. All six of the teams that beat the Cardinals are now in the playoffs. For over fourteen years that have passed by we have made it to playoffs and even state but this year will be the first time Crete will not be in playoffs.
The football team had to overcome some bat-tles out on the field but they also have gained to play as a team. Some football players say their main goal is to make it to districts others would like to accomplish their goal to thrive better. Head football

coach, Chuck McGinnis has also thrived for the Cardinals to step up the game.
“ One of our favorite mo-ments is our effort against Gretna who are one of the top rated teams, our kids played a really great ball game.” Mc-Ginnis said.
Football for Crete is his-
tory; we are told that Crete is known for football. Many football players feel different when playing out on the field. Some would like to make it their best season of all and a rememberable one.

people,” senior Doug Meike said.
Others see that this year, football was a time we had to see in a positive view. Not only did players feel emo-tional but others see they-played their hardest. Football is history but we also have to see the positive views. Our
Cardinals need to know that they played with their hearts on the ball. From the begin-ning of a game to the end they all huddle and cherish the astonishing highlights of each game.
“We didn’t end it the way we could have but how we pulled together in the end of
the season it is just incred-ible, I’m so proud of my guys for playing together, I like that the last game was by far the best game of the season,” senior Milo Petrzilka said.
All of us need to know even though football didn’t go how expected there was a lot out there who believed in our football players to do well.
“I really appreciate all the guys and the effort and mak-ing the season what it was, even though we didn’t get the result we wanted I’m still proud in every one of those guys on my team,” Petrzilka said
Our Cardinals have had their biggest moments out on the field. From players be-ing hurt, to winning against Seward and losing against Beatrice who had a winning streek. The Beatrice game was the game before home-coming and was honestly a close game we lost 13 to 14. A close game we all can say was a devastating night.
Although some players eneded on a sad note, the Cardinals played a really great season to begin with.
Three Runners Run to StateThe cross country team
trained hard all summer and season which seemed to have payed off at dis-tricts.
“Being that it was our last time competing as a team, I couldn’t be prouder,” head coach Drew Rische said re-garding districts on October 12.
The boys team placed 4th at the meet and was only six points away from making it to state.
“We ran better times but we came up short,” Rische said.
With hard work, dedica-tion, and determination, a few runners managed to qualify for state. Returning to state will be Senior Logan Sieck.
This will mark Sieck’s third year attending the state cross country meet.
“It was hard work, the team and I have been prepar-ing all season for the district
meet with some of us putting over 500 miles of training hoping to advance to state and it may not have hap-pened for all of us but we will all keep preparing ourselves for next year,” Sophomore Casey Vigor said.

Sieck and Junior Jordan Walker.
“Qualifying for state is ex-citing and I am ready to just get out there and compete,” Viger said.
Vigor placed 7th and Walker placed 6th both with a time of 17:55.
“It is always a privilege to make it to state,” Sieck said.
The top 15 at the meet will medal. Logan hopes to be a part of that top 15 and medal.
“If I run the way I have or better I can make it,” Sieck said.
“I’m very proud of them. They deserve their ticket to the state meet,” Sieck said.
“Aside from not having a team qualifing, getting three runners to state is really good,” Rische said.

a good chance at being suc-cessful,” Rische said.
“It’s my last one, I’m go-ing to have fun with it,”
Sieck said. The three students in-
dividuals that advanced to state and finishing was Sieck in fourteenth, Viger in thrity-
first and Walker in thirty-third place.
