Facing a Herculean schedule, featuring state champions Portage (1977) and Marian (1976), and al- ways tough Mishawaka, Elkart Central, and Memorial, Coach Tee- garden ' s varsity reaped a victorious season. Suffering an early 28-29 defeat to playoff-bound Mishawaka, the In- dians rebounded to win 3 out of the next 4 games. After a bitter 10-6 defeat to arch-rival Marian, the In- dians finished, winning 3 of the final 4 games, losing only once to state champs Portage. The team, consisting of over 30 seniors, was highlighted by 6 members of the All-Catholic Al- liance football team. These stars were: Larry Zielinski, offensive back of the year, who led the team by gaining over 700 yards and gath- ering 62 points; Jim Schellinger, lin- ebacker of the year; Jim McCray, who shared honors with Tim Toppel for receiver of the year; Mike White and Ray Weber, the team ' s offen- sive linemen of the year; and lone junior Charlie Sims, who was deep- back of the year. Other outstanding seniors were quarterback John Ken- ney, place kicker Joe Yonto, guard Tom Farris, noseguard Tony Gol- den, and defensive end Terry Bauters. Underclassmen also played a major role: Todd Dunphy, Reggie Glon, Greg Jones, Matt Toman, and second year letterman Dan Smoger. Even though the 6-4 record did not fulfill the high expectations of the mighty Indians, team spirit and fan support was at its usual opti- mum. Indians Earn Victorious Season VARSITY SCOREBOARD ST.
