MANY LETTERMEK “We’ve got to be the best 0-5 team around Iowa,” was a comment made earlier in the season by head coach, Don Kristensen. He proved to be right as the Wheelers split the last four games, beating Manning and Saydel and losing to Atlantic and Perry respectively. There were 15 returning lettermen, four juniors and eleven seniors. One of the highlights of the year was the Saydel game which was played on a rain-drenched field. The players were unable to be recognized as the mud and water got the best of them. There were many turnovers, but no team ever capitalized on any of them. The Wheelers scored early in the second quarter and that took care of all the scoring as the Wheelers went away with a 6-0 victory. Receiving awards for 1st Team All Conference was Pat Obermeier, Punter 2nd Team all Conference awards were given to Joel Williamson, Running Back and De- fensive Linebacker, and Jon Feltner, Defensive Linebacker.
