The Falcon cross country ski team had a great year. The girls ' record was 6-7, which was good considering that it was a young team with only one returning skier. The guys came out with a 10-1 record and the conference champion- ship. Jenni Bach was a welcomed addition to the team, this awesome freshman took 2nd in sections and came in 18th out of 74 skiers at state in Biwabik at Giant ' s Ridge; great job Jen!! The team looks for a promising season next year with the strength of a large freshmen, sophomore, and junior team, along with the excellent coaching of Steve Hopke, Tony Nelson, and Becky Fuller (now Hay!). It was a great season guys! Always remember- Mark missing the bus, Greg breaking his arm, Dara doing homework, Berner ' s crash after the big jump, Stacey getting lost while Hopke paced in the chalet. Andy, Jeff, Ben, and Blaise, Marquette, Michigan, the silly banquet, Tammy hiding be- hind the woodpile with her VCR, Casey Jones, Liza, Nettie, Dill and Style, Beamis, the great captains, and finally Just win baby! Oh, one more thing- Mr. Hopke ' s philosophy of coaching: Despotism is a legitimate mode of coaching in dealing with barbarians, provided the end be their improve- ments, and the means justified by actually effecting that end. ' Not another hill!! exclaimed Mark. 142

Hot In The Cold This year the Falcon hockey team surprised a lot of fans and opposing teams. In what was supposed to be a rebuilding year the team finished a re- spectable 12-12 in the tough Lake Red conference. Captains Bryan Dieleman and Mark Merila each set scoring records for the school. Merila for the most career points, 51, and Dieleman for scoring the most goals in a single season with 26. Oth- er standouts included senior Mike Minor and starting freshman Jim Bode. Highlights of the season included shut- ting out Kennedy 3-0, and defeating Coo- per. In December the team went to St. Cloud to compete in a tournament. They placed second and hope to be able to go back next year. The season ended with a tough loss to Wayzata in the final 8 sec- onds of the section playoffs. Next year promises to be one of the Falcon ' s best with many returning varsity players. In goal Mike Rowan and Derek Hanson will both be back, so will defense- men Scott Alexander and Josh Byer and wings Merila and Bode, as well as many other talented players. i]; Josh Byer anticipates the face off.
