Kick around the Oesterberg wolfhounds Are alive and kicking in a Safe a Continental sports conference this football season. Whack a 29-8 Boot to the Wiesbaden flyers two weeks ago. Thud a 6-0 Heel to the Wei Brincken warriors last week. Suddenly the Oesterberg wolfhounds Are standing tall in jackboots. Those two straight victories have marched Oesterberg straight into the playoffs. Oesterberg in the playoffs sure and Missouri is in the Orange bowl the Phoenix cardinals Are in the super bowl. What is this a joke made in Soester bergs Mother country the Netherlands no really. The Csc says Oesterberg still needs another week to mathematically Clinch a playoff spot. But the wolfhounds Are digging in for the postseason. Period. You can Call the Csc playoff system Little league. Or you can say the system finally offers Hope to Little bases like Oesterberg. Whatever. Eight of the nine Csc teams make the playoffs. A Oesterberg a sweep of the basement bowl sweepstakes a against Wiesbaden and Wei Brincken a assures the wolfhounds a spot in that final eight. Shocking you bet. And if you did bet before the season on Oesterberg making it you re smart and Rich. The wolfhounds were so bad before this season that they never won More than one game. Here a their history 1984 1-7 record. 1985 1-7. 1986 1-8. 1987 1-8. 1988 0-8. 1989 did not play. But after sitting out �?T89 because military exercises erased their roster the wolfhounds kicked up their own kind of storm in 1990. Nothing drastic mind you. They started 0-6, stretching their losing Streak to 16 games. Then came that history making two game winning Streak. It came against two of the weakest teams in Europe. And against two bases that Are on defense Secretary Dick Cheney shit list. The wolfhounds Arentt about to be Picky. They finished their regular season 2-6. Now they get to watch the rest of the Csc finish these last two weekends before the playoffs kick off oct. 13. A this was our championship game a said a euphoric Oesterberg coach Curt Wright. Wright was right. His wolfhounds had just beaten Wei Brincken 6-0. On the Road. His players were Happy campers who would soon hop on a sem luxury air Force bus something Wright had corralled after rejecting a Bare boned shuttle bus two weeks before. Wright took Over the wolfhounds at mid season and righted their Outlook. He prefers the Laid Back approach practice by his fellow South carolinian Art Shell of the . Raiders. A i give them a relaxed attitude a said Wright. A these Are grown which Means loud and fun and ornery. A a we be been together since mid january a said Wright who was an assistant before ascending in week 5. A a in a tired of seeing them As a matter of Wright smiled when he said that. He probably smirked when he called the winning touchdown at a amps onto Dyllo Oesterberg a a Blake Doyle went Down under Wei Brincken end Carnel Bush a heat but the wolfhounds Rose. Wei Brincken on sunday. He called for . Payne to run right on second Down at the Wei 5, and the tailback scored. The fourth Quarter to was All Oesterberg needed. Not a bad Way for t.d., us ., Payne to say goodbye. He leaves for Eaker fab ark., this week. He suffered on losers since 1986, then launched Oesterberg into the playoffs with a to play he called the a House of Payne had one More goodbye message. He went Down swinging against Wei Brincken nose guard Rich Beckett and both were ejected with a minute left. No Payne no gain. A i got a flight to Eaker sunday so a Payne did no to care about the two game suspension that follows ejections. Beckett does. He a a cog in a defense. Now his Only Hope of playing is if the warriors beat either Hahn on saturday or Sembach the next week. Slim Chance. If they pull an upset the warriors would reach the playoffs if Wiesbaden loses As expected saturday at Rhein main. If that sounds complicated its downright depressing for Wei Brincken. Its bad enough the warriors Are in their last season thanks to the base closing. Its embarrassing to be the Only team to miss the playoffs. But lose to Oesterberg six to nothing at Home a Nightmare. A we just can to seem to put it together a Beckett said As he stood alone on the Field. A four bleeping years. We done to have a winning attitude. We done to build from one game to the Beckett mentioned the warriors wonderful opener their 40-0 she lacking of defending Safe Champion Rhein main. Then five straight tosses. Same old Wei Brincken. A discouraged coach Chris Simmons said a if these Guys came to practice and get it together we can beat anybody in this league. They just done to have a big heart. They live in the past. The Rhein main game is in the Simmons praised the base leadership for supporting his team. He blamed himself for failing to find a the key to motivate these the warriors could have Pooh poohed soc Star bar go a accomplishment. Safe football players usually spit jealousy. Yet most Wei Brincken players and coaches sounded like Strong safety Timothy Chambers who said a a Oesterberg came out with a lot of heart. They re not big but they have a lot of heart. They never quit and we did and i hate to say that. But ill say in be never lost to Hahn. I was with Sembach in 1984 and �?T85 and we never lost to Hahn. We have two games left. We win one and we re in because Wiesbaden wont win another. Our offence will get it together. They score two touchdowns and Well beat one was enough for Oesterberg.
