... Casey Warriors ♦ ♦ ♦ Led by two new coaches, Ott Bay and Robert Collom, the Warriors of 1945-46 presented Casey High with a very successful season. After the last whistle had been blown, the Warriors had won six games, tied two, and lost one. This placed the Warriors third in the Eastern Illinois Conference and fifth in the Wabash Valley. Warriors ran up large scores against Villa Grove, Oblong, Palestine, Marshall, Charleston T.C., and Martinsville. They tied Charleston City and Paris and lost to Robinson. Adding to Casey’s fame was the placing of several Casey players on All-Star teams. In the Illinois All-State line-up, Captain Pat Fitzgerald was named center and Robey, Comer, Callahan, and Stewart were given honorable mention. In the Eastern Illinois Conference on the first team, Dale Robey was chosen as quarterback, Richard Callahan as end, and Captain Fitzgerald as the pivot man. Jack Comer was given honorable mention as halfback on the second team and Kenny Stewart was placed at guard on the third team. Bob LeMay, end, and Richard Myers, guard, received honorable mention. At the annual banquet, Pat Fitzgerald received the “Harris Trophy,” and Richard Callahan was awarded the “Most Valuable Player Award.” The squad voted Max Brandenburg as next year’s captain. Casey High will miss the great playing of 13 senior lettermen— Richard Callahan, Pat Fitzgerald, Dale Robey, Kenneth Stewart, Jack Comer, Richard Myers, Alan Ernest, Bob LeMay, Maurice Fox, James Abraham, Bill Brandenburg, Bill Kilborn, and Don Simpson. The remaining Warriors led by Captain Brandenburg should field a team of which Casey will be proud.
