Varsity improves team average; frosh-soph good basis for 1986 A squad of 21 turned out for the 1985 golf program. Several transfer students helped to bolster the carry-over from last season. Things looked exciting as the Red and White started the season off with a double win over Mendota and Rock Falls. Excellent scores by the top five of Steinhilber, Sebastian, Bellettini, Soule, and Linning brought hope to Coach Feliksiak. Glory was fleeting; the Devils failed to win another duel meet. Inconsistency with the 4th, 5th, and 6th men throughout the season would be a problem. The Big Red placed 6th in the Illinois Valley Tournament. The season record ended up 2 wins and 12 losses, an over-all improvement in the total team average from the previous year. The Frosh-Soph faired better with a record of 4 wins and 8 losses. The squad was led by sophomores Jamie Dees and Terry Mack, and freshman Mike Chiapelli. The squad should provide a basis for the '86 Red Devils. Under the watchful eye of Terry Mack.
