How Sweet It Is . . Were I! We re I! We re I! The 1983 foot- ball team proved this to be true by achieving a feat that has never been accomplished in Conner football history. The 1983 football team is the first football team at Conner to win the Stale Title. The 1983 season for the Cougars was composed of many outstanding advances in Cougar football history. Halfback. Mel- vin Miles, was stopped two yards short of 2,000 yards in the 1983 season with 1998 yards gained while rushing. This beat Mark Tritsch's record of 1013 yards set back in 1974. In the previous four seasons the Cougars were always stopped short of the state or district title by one school or another. Last year it was Covington Catholic and the years before that it was Highlands and Franklin-Simpson. This year the Cougars had a triple-revenge season. They were able to play all those teams and to walk off the field the winner. That to the Cougars was well worth it” as Mike Cheslock puts it. The state championship game itself was. of course, the most important to the Cougars but surprisingly enough when asked, the majority of the football team found beating Highlands, who had not lost their last 29 games, the most satisfying”. Cougar halfback Melvin Miles said, It was a dream come true.” Line- backer. Matt Shotwellstated. I thought if we beat Highlands we could win state, and that's exactly what they did. The 1983 Class AAA championship game was held in Louisville. Kentucky, at Cardinal Stadium. The Cougar's started out by scoring the first touchdown in the second quarter. Shortly following Melvin Miles went out of the game with a hip pointer. When Melvin goes out, we get as high as we can. We get extra energy out of that.” Quarterback Artie Crawford remarked. The Cougars only fell behind once in the game but returned shortly with that extra energy to score another touchdown, leaving the final score at 12-7. Mark Thomas was asked how he felt when he knew Conner were State Champs for certain. It was hard to believe because we worked on it so long. It was Sunday morning before it sank in that we are the 1983 Class AAA champs. Coach Lewis adds, This completes my fifth year at Conner and all five years have been enjoyable and it's been a pleasure to help Conner establish a winning football tradition.” Coach Bob Lew sshould also be commended on bringing his second team to the state title, for in 1977 his Wyoming team won the Class AA title. Conner is fortunate to have Coach Lewis, as head coach, and assistants. Tom Berger. John Lucas. Bob Young, and Wayne Badida. Congratulations to everyone who helped the 1983 Con- ner football team become the 1983 Class AAA State Champs. I. While Coach Bob Lewis collects his thoughts. Brian Shotwell and Brad Pitrer stand ready to act on his decision. 2. Quarterback Artie Crawford shows his technique in passing. 3.
