North Tama football’s worst season in a century


Friday was like this.

Since 1921, when football was reinstated at Traer High School after the national period of safety concerns, only one team had gone winless in a season. The 1939 team went 0-8.

This year, the Redhawks finished 0-9, being outscored 407-56 including three shutouts.

The 3-24 record of the last three years is the worst since Traer went 3-24 in 1958-60, and that was bracketed on either end with a 1-4-1 abbreviated 1957 season and Traer-Clutier going 3-15 in 1961-62.

Here’s to hoping things look up next year.
