‘Independence’ brought tougher competition “Because the Tri-River conference disbanded at the end of the 1983-84 school year, we were forced to act as an independent,” said Joe Hattenbach, coach for the Varsity Football Team. “Being independent meant we had to play bigger schools, tougher competition, and travel farther to play the games. One particular game against Stevens-ville-Lakeshore, Greenville had to travel 2 Vi hours to reach. The team left at 12:00 in the afternoon by chartered bus. Upon arrival Greenville was treated to dinner, however even with all the excitement and high spirits Greenville lost the game 14 to 19. “I think part of our problem was, that we had a difficult time adjusting to the new and different teams,” recalled Coach Hattenbach. “We had a hard time pulling together enough to meet the more competitive teams.” Individually, Jerry Remelts had the most carries (20), the longest run (58), and the most touchdowns in a game (3). Sophomore Max Warriner was the Jacket quarterback. He had the most passes attempted (17), the best passing yards (57), and the longest pass (33) in a game. Mike Adams had the best receiving yards (38). Remelts also had the most yards rushed with 576. Tom Hallock followed with 524 yards and Mike Adams had 354. Andy Petersen was named most dedicated by his teammates and part of the All Area team. Honorary Captains were given to Petersen, Jeff Hopkins, and Tony Mach. The Jackets ended the 1984-85 season with 3 wins and 6 losses. Above: Senior Jerry Remelts makes an effort to catch a pass.

Team travels farther to play schedule The Greenville Junior Varsity team kicked off its season with disappointment when it lost its first game to Lakeview by a score of 16-8. Though coming off a loss, they then shutout the Ionia Bulldogs 24-0. Greenville continued its winning streak as it beat Bay City, Lakewood, and Stevens-ville-Lakeshore. Because Greenville dropped out of the Tri-River conference, it caused the team to travel much farther to play teams. In the Stevensville-Lakeshore game, Greenville traveled 2Vz hours by bus. When they arrived they were treated to dinner. They won 28-6. Greenville lost their next three games and then won a home game against Beld-ing 35-14. Brad Vinton carried the ball 149 times during the season for a total of 1156 yards. He also had the most touchdowns (11) and the highest amount of points with 76. Steve Schofield carried the ball 94 times for a total of 599 yards. Schofield had 5 touchdowns and 36 points. Quarterback Tom Schrader completed 37 passes out of 78. He had a total 568 yards covered. He had 4 touchdowns. The teams season total was 6 wins and 3 losses. During every Thursday night football game rain or shine, you could find the JV Cheerleading team cheering the football team on. This years JV Cheerleaders worked hard and learned a lot. They all went to the N.C.A. cheerleading at Saint Mary’s College in South Bend, Indiana and worked on their over all cheerleading style. They received a spirit stick because they were one of the most enthusiastic and spirited squads at camp. “Throughout camp I was proud to be associated with Greenville because of the effort these girls showed, commented Cheerleading coach, Nancy Dixon. They attended a clinic and competition at Aquinas College. The morning was spent teaching chants and cheers to other Grand Rapids area cheerleaders. The competition began in the afternoon. “The girls did not place in the top three but we can all be proud of our JV Cheerleaders.” stated Coach Dixon.
