Grid Season Glum Despite Valiant Effort Sophomore player Mark Brown shouts words of encouragement from the bench. Under the direction of the new coach Don Zwisler, the Knights showed the promise of a strong future. Though this year's scores were not very encouraging, the style of play exhibited great enthusiasm and willingness on the part of the team. The first two games were very well played. The team had taken on a completely new look. Although we lost to Ellet, we tied Canton Central Catholic in a scoreless game. The next four games were against very tough opponents. Wadsworth, Cuyahoga Falls, Walsh and Barberton tall big schoolsl proved to be real problems for the small Hoban squad. Lorain Southview almost proved to be a turning point in the season. lt was - at least morally. The Knights scored for the first time in this game. From this point, a lot of fight was re-kindled in a team that plugged hard all season. A revised backfield - the KKK tKurtz, Kennedy, Kelleyl helped the team considerably in the game against Warren Western Reserve. The re-kindled enthusiasm was evident in the fans, too, from this game on. The Homecoming game against St. Thomas Aquinas was considered by many to be the best-played game of 36 the season. The defense played well and the offense pulled together to score thirteen points. Although we lost, it was close, with St. Thomas scoring only seventeen points. A tradition ended when the St. V-M Irish beat the Knights in a tough game at Green Street. The shillelagh has been a symbol of the rivalry between the two schools for the past several years. The stick was retired to the West side of town this year as the Irish won three games in a row. The determination of the Knights in this game allowed the Irish to score only fifteen points. The Junior Varsity this year played well with two wins against Kenmore and Wadsworth. Three games were lost to Walsh, Cuyahoga Falls and Barberton. Greg Kremer coached the squad. The freshman team won four games out of their seven. The teams that were beaten were: Bolich, Roberts, Walsh and Brown. The team was beaten by Wadsworth, Copley, and St. Thomas. Paul Jurkiewicz was freshman coach. In a post-season announcement, Lawrence Latson was given an honorable mention on the All-State squad.
