The Melcher-Dallas Football Squad was a at crossroads near the middle of the season. After a week four loss to Gradbrook-Reinbeck by a score of 93-6, the Saints had a heart-to-heart talk the next week about what it means to play like a Saint and to have Saint Pride. He tells KNIA Sports it was a good thing that Twin Cedars was the next week. The Saints ended up winning a wild 60-to-56 game over their archrivals. Melcher-Dallas ended the season at 4-5.
