“Thank you to my family. I am eternally grateful for everything that you guys have provided me with,” Tracy said. “I don’t say it enough, but thank you. I love you guys.

“To Regina football, thank you to Coach Els for making football such a fun experience. Not only was it something I looked forward to after school, but it is also a place where I learn life lessons and prepare for my future. And last but certainly not least, thank you to my friends and teammates. The ultimate reason why football is fun. I wouldn’t trade my experiences with you guys for the world.”

This past season, the Johnnies knocked off Monmouth before falling to Wisconsin-River Falls in the third round of the postseason. Gary Fashing is the head coach, as he has won 110 games in 12 seasons at the controls of the program.
