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.

Warriors defeat Sedgwick; thirty-two game losing streak is finally stopped Ending a thirty-two game losing streak was a high hope for the Warrior Boys Basketball Team. I was proud of them for never giving up.” stated Coach Curtis Vermillion. This was Coach Vermillion’s first year of coaching and teaching. “I saw improvements in our shooting, our shot selection, some defense and our ability to handle and cope with the press. We did many drills to compensate, and the win over Sedgwick really helped us attitudewise, as well as, being able to compete with other teams,” stat- ed Coach Vermillion. These improvements were evi- dent in the one point win over Sedg- wick in February. This win broke a two year loss record, although it was the only win for the boys.

Row 2: Head Coach Coach Vermillion believed that the boys’ best games were the ones against Moundridge, Inman and Sedgwick. The junior varsity and freshman teams faired better than the varsity in wins. Junior varsity ended up with a 4-8 overall record and the fresh- men ended with a 2-6 record. The freshman games were held in the junior high gym while the junior var- sity played in the Brown Building Gym. Assistant Coach Mark Robins believed that the freshmen learned a lot about basketball and they great- ly improved. “I truly believe with continued hard work, we will do fine next year,” commented Coach Vermil- lion.
