First-year coach Al Bai- ley and his staff put together a fine team and got them well prepared before the season opener. From then on injuries started to cut into the squad with Aaron Aungst, Jack Bentley, and sen- iors Troy Silvers and Rich Burch, each missing at least three contests and others missing a game or two. The Squires had a fine group of seniors who provided leadership and solid plays. John Whitcraft and Billy Honeycutt revived the running game this year behind the fine blocking of Scott Cripe, Andy Slack, Dan Lampert, and Mike Burgess. The outstanding offensive player was Mike Burgess, while Jeff Fahs was the Most Valuable Player on de- fense. The Most Improved Player and only player who was named to all-TRC was defensive back Chris Cornell. The younger Squires gained much varsity experience, and with a solid group of young freshman coming up next year, the outlook for '86 is ex- citing. )V BOTTOM: Brent Stanley, Todd Howard, Chuck Goodrich, Paul Reahard, Jeff Felgar, Aaron Cornell, Andy Spriggs, Mike Scott.
