To get into the playoffs and thereby reverse their unwanted tradition, the Indians needed to finish the regular season with a victory over Oberlin High School. <br>And did they ever. Led by Jordan Vickers with 148 rushing yards and two TDs, the Hoxie Indians ran over Oberlin, 50-8. The outcome was never in question, as the team led 44-0 halfway through the third quarter. This victory was followed by two dominating wins in the Class 2A playoffs, 42-12 against Osborne, and then 52-6 against Meade. Their miracle season ended with a 40-30 loss to Garden Plain, which went on to play in the finals. <br>The Indians finished the season 9-3, ranking them fifth in the state. Offensive leaders for the Indians included Doug Campbell, Jordan Vickers and Mat Gilliland, with 1507, 1484 and 1063 yards respectively.<br> After such a year, Coach Dick Heskett and his Indians have a lot to be proud of. Who knows, maybe next year the wrestlers at Hoxie High School will find themselves drawing inspiration from the football team. inning team (17-5) had squandered its opportunities, the sophomores and juniors made a strong commitment to each other that the story would be different next year.<br>When asked how their perfect season happened, Coach Gjormand reflected that  this all goes back to the off-season. He continually reminded his players that the off-season was for work, the in-season for fun. And work they did.<br>The Warhawks bough into the BFS program with a vengeance in the summer of 2001. JohnnyAyers, a starter on both the football team and the baseball team, explained,  We re working hard for a reason. It s not just to look good on the beach it s sports-specific training that you know you re doing for Friday night football or Tuesday night baseball. You know it will be there when you need it. Andrew Baird, who would play key roles as a halfback and an outfielder in his junior year, later described the impact BFS had on the players. He saw the weekly successes the athletes experienced in breaking personal records in the BFS program as a confidence builder for each participant. He also believes that the camaraderie generated by working hard together built team cohesiveness that carried over to the season.<br>Coach Gjormand believes that the success he and Coach Leib pursued started with the championship football season in 2001. Despite a bitter, last-minute opening game loss to rival Oakton High School, the Warhawks knew they had turned the corner when they won a key district game in overtime, 29-22 over W.T. Woodson High. Runs by Andrew Baird, Ryan Ginley and Joe Lewin supplemented B.T. Good s passing to move the Warhawks to a 2-1 record, duplicating or exceeding their win totals of each of the three preceding seasons. Ginley indicated in a Sun Gazette story on the game that  an off season workout program called BFS had been invaluable and as a result the Warhawkswere  bigger, faster and stronger. <br>At last the Warhawks had won a close game against a quality opponent after three years of frustrating losses.
