Warrior football players receive several injuries, their goals are shattered Winning the district champion- ship was a goal that Head Football Coach Mark Robins set for the 1983 Warriors. The only game to win before the playoffs was the Hutchinson Trinity game. On the first play of the game, quarterback Kevin Strotkamp hurt his knee, thus putting him out for the rest of the game. Kevin had quarter- backed all of the preceding games and had no back-up, according to Coach Robins. This injury was a contributing factor to the loss, as well as, Kevin Bass’ sprained knee ligaments and Roger Lefert’s broken leg, which caused them to play at a reduced capacity. Honors still graced the Warriors. Kevin Strotkamp was selected Hon- orable Mention for the All State Of- fensive Team. Those selected for positions on the Mid-Kansas League First Team included Will Mellott, Kevin Strotkamp, Kevin Bass and Randy Preheim. Second team included Randy Preheim, Da- vid Maples, and Bob Kyle. Bob Kyle and Donnie Brunzell also received Honorable Mention. “I don’t think the 3-6 record showed the type of ball club we had,” stated Coach Robins. Im- provements were made in the team with the summer weightlifting pro- gram in which players were required to come in twice a week to build strength. ABOVE.

Parent speaks on standing behind student athletes One of the many extracurricular activities to participate in, in high school is sports. Since 1973, Mrs. Shirley Moore has been attend- ing games that three of her five sons have played in. Jeff, Troy and Jerome all participated in foot- ball and Jeff and Jerome also played basketball. “I feel the parents should be behind them full force,” Mrs. Moore said. Being a parent of an athlete does have respon- sibilities. One is worrying about injuries. “I get cold chills when I see any player has been hurt. Foot- ball is a rough game,” she said. Mrs. Moore also said that she sees some differ- ences between Jeff's 1977 state bound football team and the 1983 football team. “The atten- dance was much larger. If you got there much after seven, you could plan on standing,” she said. To summarize what’s needed for a good team, Mrs. Moore said that the players must have re- spect for their coaches. They have to want to win, not only for themselves, but for their school, coaches and the community.
