2007 ROCORI Football Awards Banquet

Joe Theismann:  "Nobody in football should be called a genius.  A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein."

Tim Green:  "Let's face it, you have to have a slightly recessive gene that has a little something to do with the brain to go out on the football field and beat your head against other human beings on a daily basis."

The 2007 football season was filled with great achievements for the Spartans and on December 2nd the individuals who stood out the most were recognized for their contributions on and off the field.
