Cross Country Boys Run the Hills The 1986 Scotus boys cross country team was led by seniors Ed Fehringer and Eric Beck and sophomore Dan Parolek. The team had experience with returning let- termen Eric Beck, Kelly Beck, Ed Fehringer, Chad Labenz, and Dan Parolek, and newcomers Robbie Wade, Steve Souillere, Greg Hunt- er, Ron Kresha, Rich Schmidt, and Darby Staub. The team was third at the Albi- on Invite, second at the Shamrock Invite, and fourth at the Confer- ence meet. Columbus and Lake- view were victims of the boys in the duals, while Elkhorn Mount Mi- chael, the eventual state cham- pions, defeated the Shamrocks. At the B-4 District meet, Scotus fin- ished fourth, just missing a trip to the state meet. One runner, Dan Parolek, did qualify as an individ- ual, finishing fifty-first place.

Football Team Tackles Season The 1986 football season, though it ended in disappoint- ment, had many memorable mom- ents. The 1986 Shamrocks did not qualify for the state playoffs, end- ing a two year string, but the team scored a 6-4 record. The team started the season with high hopes. Being led by the seniors, pre-season ratings found the Shamrocks in the top ten of Class B teams. The year started on a high note with wins over St. Jo- seph’s and Hardington Cedar Cath- olic. The next challenge was a road game with Schuyler. The Warriors came into the game the number one team in the state. The game went into overtime with Schuyler squeaking out a victory and even- tually winning the State champion- ship. The Shamrocks lost a heart- breaking game with Wahoo Neu- mann on Homecoming. The year ending with two disappointing losses to rivals David City Aquinas and Fremont Bergan, two teams that made the playoffs. The Shamrocks did receive some great individual honors. Pat Engelbert led the way, receiving First team All-State and Class B honors. Scott Krzycki was honor- able mention.
