Returning just two starting forwards from last year’s 3rd place team, the Trojanettes restacked the deck and came up with a winning hand. Head Coach Dan Breen, in his 15th year of coaching has compiled an awesome 313-56 ca- reer win loss record. The Trojanettes remained unbeaten in 93 consecutive home games and won the conference outright. Fairfield is the only team that has won a girl’s basketball conference title in the Southeast Seven. The Trojanettes ended the regualar season undefeated in 20 games. Teams such as Ankeny, Indianola, and Waukee were no match for the players. But maybe everyone’s eyes were too far down the road when in the semifinal round of sectional play, the second-ranked Trojanettes were upset by rival Ottumwa. The dream of a 6th straight trip to the state tournament was shattered. Diana Repp, the first forward from Fairfield to be named 1st Team All-State, received the Out- standing Senior and Most Valuable Player Awards. Repp averaged nearly 34 points and totaled over 2500 points in her career at FHS. Amber Stump, two-year starter, was the recipi- ent of Shiela Stoltz Award for Consistently Out- standing Performance. Seniors Dian Peaslee and Kim Hall received the Most Improved while Ju- nior Tina Emerson and senior Sindy Crockett received the 100 percent award. Shari Essary’s contributions in both the forward and guard courts earned her the Versatile Award. 28

Coaches Tom White, Roger McHone, Phil Gevock and Joe Fritz led the team to 6 wins and 3 losses. An idea that was new this year was to have a hero for every match. Ron Drish was the hero for the Ft. Madison meet, Tom Pohren upset Gibson in Keokuk, Brad Waugh beat senior Jeff Palmer in Ottumwa and Jeremy Nicola pinned Gary Stout in Washington. In Davis County Chad McCleary was the hero; in Sigourney the hero was Tom Spalla, a freshman; and Bill Glenn had a technical fall on Andy Price of Burlington. The support of the entire team made the wrestling team a success. The Co-captains were Ed Bryant and Bill Glenn with Tom Pohren being the honorary captain. The outstanding J.V. award was given to Brad Waugh; Most Improved Wrestler’s award to Nick Sams; Rookie of the year to Ed Bryant; Most Determined Wrestler award to Jason Lauritsen; and Most Valuable Wrestler went to Bill Glenn. Going to state is not a chance that all wrestlers get often, but Nick Sams, Bill Glenn, Jason Laur- itsen and Tom Pohren went this season. As well as going to state Bill Glenn set 4 records for the most takedowns (142), most near fall points (132), most individual points (437), and his career record of 85-16-1. 27
