Stockwell- MVP, 1st Team A.C., This year’s football team went 1-7 with the one win against Orient-Macksburg. The team per- formed much better than last year’s but was un- able to pull out more wins. The team had two new coaches this year. The head coach, Ron Wagner, came from an assistant coaching job at Hoover. He also had a student coaching job at I.S.U. The assistant coach, Gerald Gregory, was a first year coach, only having coached the junior high team a year before. Most people said the football team was compa- rable to other teams of old. They just didn't have the wins. Bill Stockwell said, “We had more yards gained than any other years. Mark Scott said, I learned a lot more this year than others. We had a more solid team than last year. I think the coach and a new offense and defense helped quite a bit.” This year Bill Stockwell was named MVP and Zach Wheeler was named MIP. What was the most memorable moment? Dana Hess said, “My touchdown at Walnut-it was my first touchdown.” Bill Stockwell said, “My first 100 yard game against Carson-Macedonia was my most memorable moment. All conference selections were Bill Stockwell, unanimous first team running back; Steve Jacob- sen, second team offensive tackle; Jason Van Aernam, second team defensive end; and Mitch Rydl, honorable mention nose guard. Bill Stock- well also received honorable mention All-State. Mr. Wagner said. I thought we had a good season even though our win-loss record wasn't that good.

They had great coverage against our spiking,” replied Debbie Schrampfer. Dana Brinkmeier's most memorable moment occurred at the Walnut game. “When playing J.V. against Walnut I went up for a spike and re-injured my knee- again. This year was also another “first”. Mi- chelle Kommes stated, “Since this was the first year you could go out for volley- ball and cheerleading I wanted to see what it would be like.
