Two Years In A Row After blistering August sessions, aquatic autumn, broken bones, and ca- reer injuries, the MHS Football Team still molded a winner. The team had a bond of pride and unity that held them together. Sophomores stepped in to re- place Seniors and bruised, battered run- ning backs played with a never-say-die attitude. This was a great way to start a school year. A football team that was 7-3, 5-3 in league. It was the second straight win- ning season, and the best since 1965. F-ven though they did not make the play- offs, the team played with the heart of champions, scoring 205 points and only giving up 15.9 points per game. Junior Greg Vogel led thf team with 579 yards rushing, while Brian King's seven touchdowns was tops on the team. Senior David Benedict led the team with 74 tackles, 31 solo. Shawn Primavere’s 7 aerial thefts led the defense. Vogel with 4 fumble recoveries led in that dept. Ju- nior Matt Houck passed for 794 yards and 7 touchdowns. The season started with a 19-6 victory over Freedom. The team continued with a 32-0 romp over Neshannock, the biggest win margin in eight years. The season ended by stunning Farrell 27-21 at Farrell. All the hard work began in November 1986 when Howie Galbreath, Rich McConnell, Dave Benedict, and Mark Frederick were named Captains. The four worked all winter and spring condi- tioning the team. They also had fund- raisers that supplied the team with equipment. The players and coaches are not the only ones who should take credit for the winning season. Let's not forget the man- agers, band, cheerleaders, and the faith- ful fans w ho showed up in heat, rain, and cold. With a strong group of lettermen re- turning next year, the Warriors should improve the 7-3 record and make the playoffs.
