The seventh-grade team is a

There are 60 students on this
team, 25 of them being young mem

Warm Springs.
"Football teaches the students
discipline," said Butch David, one
of the coaches of the seventh
grade team. "Our philosophy is that
the they are students first, and then
athletes."
In other words, he said, if a stu

to maintain good grades and good
attendance. "Otherwise they won't
be able to play," he said.
Football teaches the players how

depend on their teammates as well
as on themselves," said David.
The seventh-grade foot ball sea
son started at the beginning of the
school year, and ends next week
with a game against Culver.
During the season, the Madras
team travels to away games and also
hosts home games at the middle
school field.
They've traveled to Bend, for

team.
