The 1986 Fairmont Tiger Football Team truly went through a Rebuilding Season. Seniors were forced out with in- juries, leaving only two on the team. So- phomores and Freshmen had to shoul- der much of the responsibility. The Tigers posted victories against Marquette and McCool Jet. As always the Crossroads Conference was tough all the way around and although the Ti- gers lost, the rest of the games provided valuable experience. Offensively, star- ters for the Tigers included: Quarterback — Jerry Plambeck, Fr. Running Back — Eric Schepers, So. Running Back — Greg Burback, So. Center — Barry Wettstead, Fr. Guard — John Block, Sr. Guard — Danny Scheil, Jr. End — Mark Hanson, Sr. End — Matt Schepers, So. Defensively, the Tiger starters were: Line — Brian Shockey, So. Line — Mark Hanson, Sr. End — Danny Scheil, Jr. End — Eric Schepers, So. Inside Linebacker — John Block, Sr. Inside Linebacker — Matt Schepers. So. Corner Back — Greg Burback, So. Corner Back — Jason Harms, So. Two Tigers received Post Season honors. Danny Scheil was Honorable mention Defensive End and Matt Schep- ers was Honorable Mention Inside Line- backer. With only losing two starters in the year to come, the Tigers could be le- gitimate contenders in the Crossroads Conference. Mark Shepard was a new coach this year who did an excellent job in running the defense. DANNY SCHEIL — CRC Honorable Mention De- fensive End and MATT SCHEPERS — CRC Hon- orable Mention Inside Linebacker. FAIRMONT DIESEL SERVICE RICHARD P.
