The UNBC Football Club
Destined For Success

submitted by the Footbal! Club

Until UNBC has an
established Athletic
_ Department, UNBC Football
will still be referred to as a club.
Not that being a club hurts
them, but these kids like to be
called a ream. Looking at the
word TEAM, it speaks for
itself: Together Everyone
Achieves More.

In early September it
was just a dream for football
club president Fouad Shalaby to
have put together a team, now
he works with four other
executives, and the rest of the
team hoping that in the near
future our university will have a
CIAU football team. There is
also outside involvement with
this team. Highly looked upon
coach BarbPetrovic is also the
president-elect for Prince
George Minor Football. She
has brought together a few
bodies that are very interested in

helping coach university
football: one being ex-CFLer
Al Reynolds who will be

grinding the running backs next
year. Several other ex-CFLers
have expressed interest into
coming up to Prince George to
help coach the team.

This January, UNBC
Football will be sarting off early
with in-class lectures about
football. The team wants
people that have always been
interested in playing football to
come check it out.

Editorial 5

After about two weeks
of in-class situations, the team
will be found in the weight room
losing Christmas fat,and
solidifying their bodies. This
year the team will have its
inaugural spring training. By
this time they should also have
full equipment to play tackle
ball.

Finally, in September
the team will be able to show off
some of that up-and-coming
talent in its first game.
Although it won't be played
against a CIAU team (just: yet!)
P. G. M. F. A. is trying to set
up a league in this area. The
dream to play in the CIAU
would happen in about three
years, if all plans work well.

This past year has been
a success for UNBC Football.
In the Turkey Tournament over
Thanksgiving, the players came
together as a team. Although
losing all three games, they
never gave up. Instead they
stood tall as a respectable
university team would. The
team was supposed to conclude
their season by playing The Keg
team in a fun game, but. The
Keg never showed up. The
team- then organized Monster
Bask '94, and Grey Cup Fever
which were both great
fundraising events. Also, the
50/50 draw from the Grey Cup
had a portion of its proceedings
forwarded to the Baby Diego

Fund. Next year the team is

looking to sponsor charities
from the United Way, or will try

"These kids are not
only in it for themselves, they're
in it for the school anf the

community.. If we can work
with P. R. I. D. E. (Persistence,
Risk, Innovation,
Determination, and
Enthusiasm), we're definitely
destined for success," says
Shalaby.
