Flashback to 1968-- Part 2

the fall of 1968, I was sports editor of the Palatine High School student newspaper, the Cutlass, and reporting the football games and having a great time.  My freshman year in the fall of 1965, our team was undefeated, but we had two big-time losing seasons after that.  Evidently, a lot of local high schools thought we were going to be bad again, so we ended up playing a lot of homecoming games.

However, we ended up with a 7-2 record, losing only to Wheeling and arch-rival Arlington.  We really messed up quite a few homecomings.  So sad.  Serves them right.
