But the Spartans came back, finishing with a very successful 6-3 season. Although junior tailback Will Luzar missed the game against East Noble juniors Chad Cunningham and Troy Karshner absorbed his loss I was pleased with the way Karshner and Cunningham handled their positions against East Noble said Head Coach Cary Cavacini Cavacini also said many mistakes were eliminated in this second game Next was the definite high point of the 85 season For the first time in three years Homestead finally beat New Haven in a long awaited 14 7 upset We went out there to stick them and we accomplishedjust that, said senior center Dave Schoppell Cavacini said The play of the defensive backs Uunior corners Todd Hyder and Eric McKeeman and senior safety John Martinl was outstanding. With the Bulldog defeat, the Spartans tied for the conference championship. McKeeman said, It was a great feeling. ' Senior nose guard Troy Lewis agreed. It was a senior dream But as all good things must come to an end the Spartan varsity lost to Goshen 12 7 The defense played extremely well but we had some turnovers which we hadnt had all season said Cavacmi Senior strong safety Rick Seidel agreed Homestead played a good game, but Goshen got some lucky breaks at the right time Yet the Spartans were proud of their 6 3 record The 1985 year was a successful one for the varsity football team one which had its ups and downs and one which the team hopes to duplicate and perhaps better next year WE'RE Jil The Spartans prove they are number one by defeating New Haven to tie for the NEIAC title with the Dogs. 66 Varsity Football .
