Varsity Goes to State Bill Isernhagen's Falcon foot- ball team overcame adversity to post their first playoff berth in Skyline's history. In Isern- hagen's second year as head mentor of the Falcons, he proceeded to establish a solid ground game and a stable passing attack. With fullbacks Larry Gartrell and Kevin Brouillette providing most of the ground game in Mike Flynn's offense, the two com- bined to rush for over 1,000 yards in the Falcons' extended season. A strong and physical Falcon defense shutdown most teams' offensive attack with an aggres- sive defensive line, and a highly touted secondary, which led to 34 Sports their seven and three record. Coach Heaton stated, 'AI believe that they played a strong and physical team defense as a unit and they learned the meaning of 'keeping the worms warm'. In addition to a talented rushing game, the Falcons also had two well-disciplined quarter- backs, Gary Kloster and Scott Scheppers with a combined effort of gaining yards helped the falcon team soar over the adversaries to victory. It was the commitment to excellence which landed the Falcons for the first time ever in the state playoffs. Although the season started off slowly with losses to Longmont and Matt Kunze and Larry Gartrell lead the Falcon defense to a win over Ft. Morgan. Slotback Matt Blando breaks a tackle and heads upfield for extra yardage. Loveland, the Skyline Falcons gradually picked up speed and went on to become a dominant force in the Northern Confer- ence. When asked about this season, coach Isernhagen com- mented The teams attitude is great! We have become a real close family and it shows each game. The turning point was winning the N iwot game, coming from behind!! The entire school became a part of a team hungry for state playoff action. After traveling to Colorado Springs and shooting down the cadets in overtime by a score of 34-31, the Falcons came home to face the number one cross town rival, Longmont, for the second time, in hopes of walking away with a victory. Losing to Longmont for the second time was a big disap- pointment for the Falcons. TY? QQ 1 Q ',, N ff n.,w 4' V fbi vias ,lrl l .4 I :Joris ww, 4 wiv 1, if
