My freshman year of high school, not only did we (I did not play football) not win a single game, but we scored eight points all season! A touchdown and a safety. For the whole season. we lost all 11 or 12 games, I can't remember which (my HS yearbooks were destroyed as a result of an ice dam roof leak a few years ago). By the time I was a senior, we actually won two-three games for the season. My HS alma mater dropped football a few years ago, as they couldn't field a team.
The kids never gave up, though. (There was a rumor that we were going to bring back football a few years ago, and ask a two-time Super Bowl-winning coach who lives in the area to coach the team. Can you imagine the intimidation factor from knowing that the team you were going up against was coached by Bill Parcells?)
