Wheelers Suffer The 1983 Wheeler football team put out a successful effort. Although the scoreboard read in their favor only once, the junior-dominated-team made great strides towards a successful 1984 team. The season started with high hopes of going to the playoffs, but hopes of going to state disappeared after the first three games. Although they were playing in a losing sea- son, the Wheelers spirit never disap- peared from the “dirty thirty,” which was a nickname given to the Wheelers by Coach K. Having 31 letter-winners shows that everyone saw plenty of action. Audubon’s leading rusher was Alan Klein with 345 yards, followed by Jim Shima with 279 yards rushing. The Wheelers had 6 players awarded All-Conference Honors: Alan Klein — 2nd team Running back, Jim Hansen—2nd team line backer, Ethan Muzney — Honorable Mention Offensive End, Darrin Biggs—Honorable Mention Defensive tackle, Jim Shima — Honorable Mention Linebacker, and Bruce Kendle—Honorable Mention Punter. The Wheelers ended their season on a winning note by defeating Glen wood in their final game 12-6. Audubon opened the scoring in the first quarter followed by a Glenwood score in the next possession of the ball. Audubon closed out the scoring just before the first half. The second half was a hardfought half and neither team scored. In the final minutes, the defense stopped a Ram scoring drive to preserve the win. The Wheelers are to be com- mended for their desire and drive which led to a season-ending victory. 18 Football These pages sponsored by
