10 Theme ROCKHURST Whether head football Coach Tony Severino has a crystal ball stashed away some place is uncertain, but one thing is for sure: the man can see the future. At a pep rally on Wednesday before the game. Coach Severino introduced senior place-kicker Dan Baker, adding, Danny is going to kick one to win it for us this week.” And win it he did. With :02 left on the clock, Baker kicked a 39-yard field goal to lift the Hawklets to a 13-10 win over Hazelwood Central and clinch the Missouri Class 5A football championship. Senior lineman George Pazell remembered the game-winning kick. I was in a dogpile on my back, so I didn't see the ball go through the posts. I just listened for the sound of the crowd. When I heard our side, I knew it was good, he said. Baker was responsible for scoring all 13 of the Hawklets' points in the victory, which marks the third time that Rockhurst has defeated Hazelwood Central in a state title game. It was the greatest feeling of my life. The group effort didn't just stop on the field. It went into the stands and beyond, said senior slotback Mark Shugart of the state title game, (by Terry Sexton) Dan Baker explodes after a game winning field goal.
