Resilient Indians
GIRARD — It all started with Adam Charles’ season-ending injury during Girard’s first scrimmage. From there, the Indians have been plagued with a plethora of setbacks. But it hasn’t stopped Girard from posting a 7-0, 3-0 All-American Conference Blue Division record. “We’re a tough team. We’re very resilient. We keep bouncing back, but we have to keep getting better each day,” said Girard coach Bud McSuley after Friday’s 35-7 victory over Brookfield. “Obviously, losing your starting quarterback, 1,941 yards as a sophomore, that puts a damper.” Insert freshman Dan Graziano. “Kid steps in and other kids step up around him,” McSuley said. “That’s what we preach, whether it’s one time a game or 40 times a game. If we call your number, you’ve got to be ready to play. That’s what the kids are doing. Each one is stepping up and doing their job a little bit better — not trying to cover the whole field, but doing what they’re supposed to be doing. That’s making us a better ball team.
