DeSales had a wonderful looking freshman class last year, and a new stadium full of fans for even freshman and JV games I attended. I could not be happier for the school and program. Doug Strothman did a magnificent job there over the past decade. Jordan Watkins was the best looking athlete from that freshman class if I recall correctly. They had some great teams in the pre division years. Unfortunately, the best was probably their 1982 squad with Pete Wentworth at QB, Willie Shelby and Tony Trotter as the RBs and a kicker, Paul McDonough who went on to kick for Louisville. Though the Tigers blew them out in a very muddy Manual Stadium, our team took a ten game win streak into our playoff rematch. The Colts kept it close and McDonough broke our hearts 10-7. They lost to Tates Creek in the state final that year. DeSales put some alumni in the NFL like Chris Dishman but could not compete consistently before divisions. Now they have won two state titles. It may seem like form over substance to some, but I think it may really help a small school survive and thrive in the way DeSales has been able to do lately.

DeSales still has work to do. Not to take the shine off a win over 6A Ballard, but their not the same team they were last year. They lost a lot to graduation...then so did we. Man their QB can sling it !....Butler won big tonight so let see how we fair against them Bears next Friday. ..

Good job DeSales
