A safe 2nd place

The coaches and the administration have decided to cancel our last game of the season. The team we were going to play has beat us twice in the season and started a brawl 3 weeks ago after we played them. It was a very ugly situation in the parking lot after the game. After 3 people got kicked off or choose to quit after the brawl we where left with 13 guys for the game this week. We had originally decided to play the team again until today when one of our key offensive players was academically ineligible. With that player gone and the fact that only 9 guys were showing up for practice we decided to cancel the last game and take a safe and healthy 2ND place. Being 5 guys short against a team with 45 players and at least 3 very talented players it just wasn't worth a repeat of the last time we played them, or possible worse.
