Golf, Cross Country Seasons Victorious The Schuyler golfers kept up with SHS's 1964-1965 winning ways as they won seven straight dual and triangular meets. Among those teams defeated by the Warriors were St. Paul, David City, Seward, Columbus, Fremont, Bergan, Albion, and Wayne. John Heffner, Bob Johnson, Ted Longacre, and Fritz Wigington alternated medalist honors through the series. Heffner won the honor on three occasions while Wigington copped medalist twice. The team shot themselves into second place in the Central Ten bettered only by Ord. The following week the team traveled to Lincoln for the State Meet. Here, at the golfing highlight of the year, the boys earned third in the state, just one stroke out of second. Again Ord was the winner. The Warrior Cross Country team of fourteen runners found plenty of competition during its fall season. The team ran in five meets. Winning both duals against Seward and Central City, the Schuyler boys placed second in the nine-team Doane Invitational and second in the Wayne Invitational attended by six teams. In the district meet at Wayne on October 24, Greg Hogel placed fifth as Bob Posvar ran eighth. The Warriors earned a fifth team standing at the districts. Greg and Bob, because of their Wayne showing, attended the State Cross Country Meet and placed tenth and eighteenth respec- tively. Coach Barry commented, lt's been a real good season.
