UNBC Football:
- Timberwolves End
the Season on a High
Note

by Vince Yim

Over the course of the past two
months, the UNBC flag football
team has been hard at work, per-
fecting their skills and sharpening

. their competitive edge in the

league. With hard work, dedica-
tion, and nothing less than 100%
effort, the team made it to the play-
offs.

The UNBC Timberwolves have
only been in operation since last
year, but have seen remarkable
improvement in their game play in
a very short period of time. New
teams in any sports league have an
expected tendency to fizzle and be
the target of ridicule during their
The UNBC
Timberwolves have made sure
they didn’t fall into this category.
The win-loss record stands at 5-5,
making them fifth place in the
Prince George Minor Football
league. The Timberwolves fared
decently in the playoffs, manag-
ing a close first game, before los-
ing 32-18 to the Coaches Corer.

Right now, UNBC football is

relatively small in comparison to
other university football teams that
have been established for quite a
long time, although that is subject
to change. The football team has
improved at an incredible rate
since last year, not only due to the
addition of more players, but also
because of coaching by Barb
Petrovic, who also happens to be
the president of the Prince George
Minor Football League.

The football team is composed
of many types of players with dif-
ferent training backgrounds.

"Some of them were training at the

B.C. Lion’s rookie camp, while
others are straight out of high
school with little or no football
background. Nevertheless, every-
one is out there to have fun. This
is one of the strongest points with
having a small team. The coach
doesn’t cut players on their weak
points, but tries to play everybody.
The player’s stardom is measured
by their effort and dedication, not
their playing ability, There is some
competition, but it’s not brutal-
cutthroat, as everyone on the team
is playing just because it’s fun,
even though twice-a-week training
sessions can be a drag at times
when it’s really cold outside.
“We’re here to have a good time
and have the beginnings of an ath-
letic team at this school,” execu-

tive as marketing director and
player Ryan Matheson remarked.

Being a small team with less -
funding than larger universities (as
well as being in operation for only
two years), the only kind of foot-
ball that could be played by UNBC
was flag, but don’t laugh. Over
the course of the next few years
(hopefully by next year), more
equipment will be purchased,
more funding will be produced,
and hopefully by next year, a
tackle football team will be in ef-
fect. This will be better for some,
as many were slightly turned off
by the comparatively tame nature
of flag football.

Football is also more involved
in the school than people think.
Football is also important to stu-
dent life, as they are in charge of
many organized events (apart from
games) such as the Hallowe’en
dance at Club 770 as well as a
charity “slave” auction. These-are
important as they help students get
involved in student life, as well as
give something for the students to
enjoy.
