Ensign High School,
the ultimate losers
From Associated Press
Oregon fans don t despair at
0-4, consider Ensign High
School in Kansas
The Wildcats are in the
clutches of a six-year, 47-game
losing skid The losing streak
haunts the eight-man team even
when it doesn't take the field,
like last weekend
Ensign was scheduled to play
Rolla High, an eight-man team
that rivals the Wildcats from an
enrollment standpoint Ensign
— a town of 209 located in
southwest Kansas — has 21
students in its three upper
classes Rolla has 38
Wildcats Coach Charles
Fisher felt his squad had a real
chance of beating the Pirates, if
he could only field a team
However, Fisher has just 11
players on his roster, and one of
them is out for the season w ih a
back injury.
An assortment of other minor
ailments left Fisher with just six
healthy players and Rolla ended
up with a 1-0 forfeit victory
Some have asked Fisher why
he doesn't quit
The experience that the
players get from daily training,
the discipline and the competi
tion are just as important, Fisher
says, as the number of victories
a team rolls up
Ensign plays a home game
this weekend against Deerfield
High, the only team Ensign
plays with the same size football
squad
Although the Spartans' en
rollment of 51 students is more
than double Ensign's, Deerfield
only has 10 football players on
its roster.
"We could surprise Deerfield,
if we can field a team," Fisher
said "They are a little bigger
and have a little more exper
ience and leadership But they
better be ready when they come
to Ensign "
