However, one of the victories was not a common one, it was the defending New England<br />

Champion, Hotchkiss and it broke a long <strong>Loomis</strong> losing streak (It was also Hotchkiss’<br />

only loss during the regular season that year.). As a senior, and now captain, Caleb has<br />

continued to work tirelessly in the weight room, and came to preseason at a lean 215<br />

pounds. Caleb again proved to be the consummate team player as he moved back to<br />

defensive end, his natural position, as well as playing center and anchoring the offensive<br />

line. Caleb’s dedication to football, his teammates and to <strong>Loomis</strong> has been instrumental<br />

in the revival of the <strong>Loomis</strong> football program. Caleb has accomplished exactly what he<br />

committed himself to four years ago.<br />

Unsung Hero – James Yun - James’ contributions to the football program have been<br />

tremendous. He has accepted every role that he has been asked to fulfill over the past<br />

three years without complaint and he has executed them to the best of his ability. James<br />

has been completely committed to the football program and has been an extremely<br />

valuable member of the team. First and foremost, offensive linemen get very little<br />

recognition, unless they miss a block. James is an offensive lineman; he does not get to<br />

touch the ball and during games he is asked to block opponents who are often 10 inches<br />

taller and 60 pounds heavier than he is. During practice, not only did he have his<br />

offensive responsibilities, but we also asked him to play scout team, so that our defensive<br />

lineman would get a realistic look at our opponent’s offense. Not only did James do as<br />

we asked, but he always worked to improve his play and he took advantage of every<br />

opportunity that he had to become a better athlete. James is the epitome of an “Unsung<br />

Hero.” He never knew what his role would be week to week, but he was always ready to<br />

perform, setting his own personal glory aside for the success of the team. James set an<br />

example this fall for all athletes to follow.<br />
