The winning co-captains were Rick Hogue and Dennis Allar until late in the season when Dennis was promoted to the v arsity team and Tom Goodman replaced him as Captain. Coach Peik listed Rick Hogue, John Huber. Neal Oppen. Bill Moore. Torn Luse, Bruce Dre-blow, and Wayne Tongan as outstanding linemen. He felt Dennis Allar, Tom Goodman. Rick Sweere, Jerry Peterson, Mike Ellertson, Tom Mclnerv, and David Stewart the leading backs. It was a team with some ability, a lot of pride, and exceptionally great team spirit. When some boy was ill or injured so that lie could not play, somebody else always rose up to the occasion to take his place.’ The coach went on to cite the Cooper game as one of the most perfectly played games by both teams. Minnetonka came from behind to win by dominating the play in the second half.
