SAINT ' S TEAMS . . . EXCEL DWENGER ' S MEN ATHLETES REACH NEW GOALS The men ' s athletic pro- gram is much more than the W ' s and the L ' s. Each individ- ual athlete, regardless of the sport is a unique person. To be a high school athlete requires many things such as talent, stamina, and dedi- cation and above all time. Many, many hours of prac- tice are an integral part of the athletic program and sacrifices are made by the students who participate in them. Not only do the ath- letes put forth tremendous effort and energy but also the managers of all teams. The managers are the un- sung heros of the sports pro- gram at any school. They do about everything to get the equipment ready and to support the teams. It is a huge job. Mr. Dick Krouse, our Athletic Director puts in countless of extra hours at all events. We certainly thank him. Then there are the coaches. The coaches provide their players with praise as well as criticism. Above all they encourage each person to live up to his fullest potential and be the best he can possibly be. We ore very proud of the Bishop Dwenger coaching staff for the fine job they do and the extra they give to anyone who is involved in the men ' s athletic program. Being a Dwenger athlete is an expe- rience that each young man will treasure. Athletics not only promote competi- tion and team work but also provide invaluable lessons for life to each player. Win- ning or Losing is not really the name of the game at all. Brian Schreck, part of the Sectional Championship Tennis team shows his style at Swinney Park. Brian was selected on the All SAC team. He was also the captain of the squad and is a great leader. 12 OPENING

Sophomore, Chris Kenney makes a couple at the free throw line. Notice the scoreboard in the background and the Saints are winning big. Chris was a real asset to the Varsity team this year. Below: Father Jim Shafer is the football team chaplain as well as the school pastor. So every game he dresses up in some strange looking outfit and roots the team on. Here is Fr, Jim pointing one way as the team members go another. ' m- l T mm i ,-4 Wil ■ % ■ t; Junior Rob Minniti is just about to pin his opponent. Rob wrestles at the 138 pound weight. Since Rob began the sport as a Freshman, he has dramatically improved and is one of the best in the area. OPENING 13
