In the final game, Morris Johnson (24) suffered a serious knee injury. Helping Johnson (inset) off the field is Coach George Thomas. and this is the year that it hit us,” Collins said. “We got really beat up this year, but weren't getting beat down. We were just playing physical. Bumps and bruises are going to happen; it just seems like they happened all in one year for us,” he added. After finishing 7-3 last year, expectations were high for the Perry team this year. Even though Perry fin ished 3-7 this year. Collins said that they played like a team with a much better record. “I don’t know if there was a time this season that you look at us and say, ‘there’s a 3-7 team.’ Eveiy Friday we gave it four quarters of every thing we had. There was not a kid out there on that field that folded their tent. They came to work and we prac ticed . hard all, .year. That speaks highly of character of this team,” Collins said. “Record wise we went backward but when it comes fielding percentage with only four errors all season. Most Valuable Player from the JV was Natasjia Mitchell. Courtney Harris, who according to her coach “just had an outstanding season," was chosen as MVP for the varsity. Horsting mentioned how excited she was with not only the the team’s accom plishments this year but continuing the success at Perry High next year. “I am really looking for ward to next year. We have a great group of girls coming up and coming back. They will have big shoes to fill as far as leadership, but 1 am excepting the juniors to take control," Horsting said. Perry had 10 juniors on the team this season. Horsting also thanked assistant coach Marian Robinson for his hard work and dedication to the team. i \\t,r . ■■■■■■■ j t /d//Tie Senior Health Center is a primary care physician practice for those 65 and older.
