Bryan golf gains distinction as linksmen 1974 GOLF bring home trophy from journey to State The golf team did it right this year. They began the season with a trip to Kentucky over the spring break. A good mood was started, hopes were high, and the boys were ready to play. What was to follow was something never before ac¬ complished by any Bryan team. Not only did the links- men go undefeated in regular season matches, but they also came out of the State Championship holding their heads high. The second place finish at State earned much distinction for the duffers. Certainly, such a great team effort was the result of much individual accomplishment. Marc Stockwell was the duffer's MVP and recipient of the Jack Greene Award. Marc was also medalist in the Napoleon Invitational and the sectional tournament. Among his other accomplish¬ ments, Marc shot a record 31 on the back nine at State. Mike Stockwell recorded the lowest round this year, tying the school record with a blistering two under par 70 at Ironwood Country Club. Craig Herman was voted the most improved player. All league awards went to Rob Dillman, Marc Stockwell, and Rick Poodle Dunlap. Coach Shumaker deserves much recognition for his role in the successful season. An organizer and inspirator, Shu truly earned the title of Coach. The linksmen have much to look forward to next sea¬ son. However, with golf becoming a fall sport, conflicts arise between golf and football. With some of the team playing football instead of golf, the duffers could give up a chance at being State Champs. 1974 State Runners-Up. KNEELING: Coach Shumaker, R. Dillman. STAND¬ ING: C.

Headed by the pitching and hitting of Steve Fireovid, the Bears came through a mid-season slump with a 8-6 record. Bryan finished third in the League behind Wauseon and Napoleon. In tournament play the baseballers ousted Archbold before falling to Paulding. Steve Fireovid, with a re¬ markable .442 batting average, was voted to receive the Most Valuable Player Award, while Randy Apple and Dave McCord shared the Most Improved Award. Directed by Coach Grafton, the Reserve Team headed for a 3-1-1 season. Consisting of mostly Freshmen and Sophomores, they showed great potential. Prominent hitters for the Bears were Brad Yahrus, Jeff Eschhofen, and Joel Cox. Moving up to the Varsity level were Randy Jewell and Bill Peggs. Tod Brewer was voted the Most Improved Player Award.
