At the final buzzer, the J-Hawks were on top of one of the biggest upsets of the season over Ankeny, the only undefeated 3-A school in the state. Both teams had had their seasons riding on this one. Rolling over the Hawks, 14-Og UHS grabbed a three- way CIC co-championship with Ankeny and South Tama and gained a state berth in tournament playoffs. Regular season ended in a 6- 1 conference record. The only loss was against South Tama, the third game of the year. The Trojans managed to squeeze 20 points from the Jays, while they held UHS offense to 13 points. The final regular season tally was 8-1. For the fourth time in five years, the Jays qualified for state playoffs. They got no further than the first round, bowing to Harlan in a heartbreaker, 23-22. Successful passing proved to be the Cyclones' deadly weapon as the score seesawed between the two teams. Dominating the CIC in team stats, the J-Hawks led in both offensive and defensive scoring. Co-captains Mike Law and Craig Wederquist led the offense to an average of 35 points per game, while the defense, led by Eli Larson held opponents to less than 6 points per game. Eight players were named to all-conference first team. Offense included guard John Cunningham, end Wes Boehm, tackle Wederquist, quarterback Law, and back Rick Nelson. Named to the defensive unit were lineman Doug Allen, linebacker Larson, and back Tim Richards. JV improves season Marked improvement was shown by the JV team as the season progressed. Two wins late in the season over previously undefeated Ankeny and Valley brought the overall record to 2-2-1.
