As the John Paul II Collegiate Crusaders football team just hit the mid-way point in the season, they currently hold a 2-1 record and Offensive Coordinator/Coach, Paul Fransoo said this is one of the best seasons they’ve had.
“Overall, when we look at the win-loss ratio, this is by far our best year…we have a good core group of twelves who have stepped up and filled the boots of the guys that were here last year that left. We have a group of elevens, tens and a handful of nines that are starting to get it because they’re watching it happen right in front of them. So by far this has been our most successful all around, creating the team, creating the coach’s group, putting wins on board.”
The team’s only loss so far was a 46-26 loss against Delisle in the first game of the season. Since then, they have beat Humboldt 38-33 and Kindersley 60-7. Fransoo attributed the success of the team to the leadership and hard work of the players, as well as the dedication of the coaching staff.
“You know the group of coaches that we have, I got to give them credit… we have more coaches this year who have either played the game or understand the game and they are consistently coming out and giving us a hand. We also got some great leaders. I watched the twelves teaching our nines. They’re having conversations right after the huddle…are we going left? Are we going right? Are we driving? Are we setting up and what are we doing? And they’re helping them, they’re helping them understand.”
