Kirwin High's prospects for a first year football eleven are as bright as could be expected, according to Marvin Kennedy, former Ball coach, who has undertaken to mentor the Catholic High School players in their first year on the gridiron.
Twenty boys have reported for practice who look big enough to stand the grind of a football season and if the team is fortunate enough to escape injuries it should give an excellent account of itself against all opponents.
With three practice sessions behind them the boys will start on a strenuous week this afternoon.
Workouts are scheduled at the Kirwin High grounds every afternoon at 5 o'clock and Kennedy plans to bear down, but the boys are responding readily and are going about the labor of becoming pigskin carriers with creditable determination.
No captain has yet been chosen nor has a name for the team been selected other than Kirwin High. These details will be taken care of before the first game Sunday, Sept. 30, with the Little Hurricanes.
Many open dates remain on the Kirwin program and nearby schools desiring classes are asked to get in touch with Coach Kennedy.
