The whole team benefited from the lifts. <br>Looking back on the season, Coach Rosemeyer remembers what he felt was the defining moment of their season,  Our non-conference schedule (2 games) featured teams that were traditionally very strong. The second of these two games was against a school almost twice our size. Our two towns are fairly close together so there were a lot of people talking about the match-up. We played a very solid game and came away with a convincing win. The Hornets used that moment as a springboard going into the conference season in which, just like that non-conference game, they dominated all the way to the end of the season. Game after game they got stronger; game after game they got more confidence; game after game they came home victorious. <br>Finally, the task at hand became the play-offs. They worked very hard day in and day out for the entire season and felt ready to conquer it all. Just as Melissa was overcoming everything her illness threw at her, the Hornets felt they could overcome anything their opponents could throw at them. They ended the season triumphantly as Coach Rosemeyer happily recalled,  Our first play-off game was against the defending state champion in our division and again we played very well. We maintained our focus and used our balanced attack through the play-offs and won the state championship game 21-14 by scoring the winning touchdown in the fourth quarter. <br>The Hornet s season may be over but the fight to improve still continues for the Colby High Football Team as well as for their number one fan, Melissa. Even though the football season has ended, Melissa s friendship with the players continues as they work toward a very welcome future.<br><br>______________________<br><br><br>One of our biggest fans this year was an eighth grade girl named Melissa. She is confined to a wheel chair as she is recuperating from a major illness. At a pep assembly during homecoming week, the seniors presented Melissa with a Colby Hornet Football sweatshirt and football, both of which were signed by all the members of the team. A very special bond formed between the team and Melissa. I think we drew a great deal of inspiration from her and she from us as we progressed through the season. She made great strides in her recovery and our players realized how fortunate they were to have someone like her so interested in what they were doing. Melissa would work hard to make trips around the halls with crutches instead of the wheelchair and the team would keep track of her progress and provide enouragement. After many of the games the players would stop by on their way off the field to talk to Melissa. She had a very positive effect on the team all the way through the state championship game.r coaching coordinator, Miller traveled extensively in foreign counties to study the training of the world s best weightlifte. Each player came to the Renaissance Hotel decked out in tuedos for a high-class dinner/awards ceremony. The city Mayor and other community leaders attended to honor the state champions. Money was donated that bought each player a championship ring. All-State defensive lineman Jon Haney, who led the defense with a 127 tackles, 25 for losses, was named the team s most valuable player.  Jon participated in every practice and every drill as if he were playing in a championship game. He s a dedicated player who worked hard during the off-season and showed up in the weight room every day, even during vacations, stated Coach Poss.<br><br><br><br><br><br>" <br>I have known Coach Bobby Poss for almost 20 years. We featured his first (1984) State Championship on the cover of our BFS Journal. I have been so impressed with Coach Poss not
