Few victories, but major success

It does not matter that the Marauders played a condensed season of six games. It’s the fact that our football program has returned. It does not matter that we suffered five losses. What’s important is that Marauders finished their first season victoriously — persisting through hard times. “This season was a learning experience,” said junior defensive end Rico Middlebrooks, a psychology major. “What we’ve learned from our mistakes will hopefully carry us over into next year’s season.”
Considering that the return of Marauder football consumed the media, we can prouly say that team members handled the pressure well and represented the university with class. I congratulate the CSU Intercollegiate Department of Athletics, the football coaches, certainly the team and our sponsors.
By the way, the department of athletics still has Homecoming 2005 paraphernalia available for purchase, including Nike t-shirts and Central State University Marauder Football sweat shirts. The department has slashed prices by more than 50 percent. Sweat shirts now cost $10 and the Nike T-shirts only $5.
All proceeds benefit the Marauder football program. These items are available exclusively through the department. Visit the department office in the Beacom-Lewis Gymnasium or see Athletic Director Theresa Check to make your purchases.
