Don t be like I was, warns Olin.  Stay out of fights. It s good to be competitive but you have got to know when to compete. <br>Olin s family means everything to him. His mother and grandmother fly to every game and they are Olin s biggest fans.  My uncle and grandfather have helped me get through some tough times. They are real important to me, said Olin respectfully.<br>I asked Olin the following question:  On a scale of one to ten how would you rate yourself as far as work ethic? Olin seriously pondered the question.  About a six, said Olin.  I need to work harder. <br>It got quiet. Then I said,  Olin, most of us probably feel we could do more but if a man admits he s a six and commits to work harder, then that man is an eleven in my book. Olin s eyes brighten as he laughed and looked at me with appreciation.<br>Well, you can t help but love Olin. I liked his honesty and spirit. We wish this Upper Limit athlete well throughout his football career and life. We thank Rick Huegli, Husky Strength Coach, for making this article possible. before each game. That little extra inspiration helped each player reach deep down inside for strength when times got tough. <br>Concordia had learned from their losses and were ready to battle together as a team and win. The Panthers stunned the defending State Champion, Topeka Hayden, with a 27-14 victory in the 4-A bi-district game. Tailback, Josh Williams, despite playing with a broken bone in his right hand, carried the ball 34 times for 254 yards. Culwell praised,  That was a great effort. He is a true warrior. Next came a big game against unbeaten 10-0 Kingman. The Panthers demolished them easily with a 16-0 shutout victory. This advanced them into the semi-finals of the State Playoffs for the first time in history. Things were getting heated up and the Panthers were on a roll. They barely beat Wellington 16-14 for a shot to play for state crown. <br>The State Championship game against 12-0 undefeated Holton, was Concordia's final test to see if they had what it took to wear the number one crown in the state. They faced number one ranked Holton who had outscored its three opponents in the playoffs earlier this season with a combined score of 128-20. Senior inebacker/fullback, John Hake reports,  I think that is one of our greatest weapons. We don't ever get intimidated. The Panthers played with fury. Dreams and goals were on the verge of becoming a reality. <br>The 6-2, 190 pounder Josh Williams, was the workhorse for Concordia. He had 31 carries for 282 yards. Glimpses of John Hakes eighth grade photo flashed through William's mind with the words  1999 State Champs written on the back. Williams wanted more than anything for that dream to come true, and a broken hand wasn't going to stand in his way. The Panthers played like the champions that Coach Culwell taught them that they were and at last the sweet victory came. They no longer had to believe because now they knew that they were champions with the 42-21 win over Holton which gave them =#e dzS1]O/5~7ڄ>mhH)Dqcy |8+eElhJ@n͢ ֥jkR 6WQأnrb?E귱YdC>v_ 쬬|kWφOxX8?JV;/ܬ=(rHSrB/KO"坋ƣݭ9|Q?٣s>bkaW׭tQJ=\L&!S.K/z}(3M],43_40Ҋ_͂SeraC6@IqҦrzU@ݿʪCW1N%iJU2rz:vQ ϵzS xrIy#1Mc}]oJdE쎔5q£(4i  tc\lI8tt;҄9q?vEv쎔fg3r J"_&|;i&p2 ? ;Kjir'keFp:
