(LB) Record Falls Short of Potential The 1983-84 Waterloo Panther football team finished it's year with a 2-7 record. Even though the opportunities and talent were there, the Panthers just could not translate them into a winning season. This year the football team was plagued with injuries of every kind. But the worst were knee injuries that kept Rod Schindler and Ken Bunnell out for several weeks and Kevin Hartman out for the season. The injuries coupled with lack of depth and inexperienced pldyers all contributed to what Coach Ivers said could have been a 6-3 season. Coach ivers also said that the Panthers played as well as the other teams but we were just not as consistent. He also said that there will be a lot of changes next year, and if they work out right, it could help bring about a winning season. Coach Bovee said that We had the potential of being a good team even though we didn't show it on the scoreboard.'' He also said that We played some outstanding football individually, but team-wise we have to improve. “ The 1983 football team produced some outstanding individual statistical achievements. Specifically, seniors Chris Andrews who rushed for 584 yards, kicked 6 PAT'S and 1 field goal and caught 11 passes for 122 yards and received Honorable Mention All Conference; Scott Baker rushed for 186 yards and 1 touchdown, caught 6 passes for 56 yards and contributed 35 unassisted and 84 assisted tackles on defense and earned All Conference Honors; Jamie Grandgenett caught 19 passes for 171 yards; Randy Vencil had 21 receptions for 175 yards. Juniors Ken Bunnell rushed for 223 yards and 3 touchdowns and caught 7 passes for 136 yards; Kevin Burcham ran for 48 yards and caught 3 passes for another 28; Mike Jorgensen completed 67 of 152 passes for 688 yards and rushed for another 86 and received Honorable Mention All Conference: Brad Schindler had 58 unassisted and 110 assisted tackles with 2 interceptions and received All Conference Honors plus All State Honorable Mention; John Walvoord contributed 28 unassisted and 76 assisted tackles and received All Conference Honors. — Steve Meicher. 17 This page sponsored by WESTERN STATE BANK, P.O.
