The 1972 Treynor Cardinals, under Head Coach Ken Winkler, assisted by Mike Beaman, finished with a 5-3-1 record in the newly-formed Western Iowa Confer- ence. Under a new coaching staff, a new conference, and the pressure of 32 consecutive victories, the Cards did not meet the challenge of a fourth unbeaten season. After three straight wins over Underwood, Gris- wold, and a major victory over powerful Avoha, the Cardinals met stiff competition in Missouri Valley, Oak- land, and Tri-Center. All three teams were at their emotion peak for the defending state champions and de- feated the Cardinals. The Cardinals bounced back and soundly defeated Elk Horn and upset second-rated Anita. The season ended with a O-O tie with Omaha Holy Name on a mud-soaked field. Although our record wasn't as impressive as prev- ious seasons, the season was a success. We learned from our defeat--it made us realize that success never comes easy. --Captains

In tournament action, they appeared strong, winning championships in the Holiday Tourney, the Conference Tourney, and sectional tournament. In district action, the Cards met Farragut, the Cor- ner Conference Champ, in first round action at Farragut. Up for what they expected to be a tough contest, the Cards put the Admirals away handily, 74-47. Moving into final action in Council Bluffs, the Cards met Underwood, whom they had previously beaten twice in regular season play. Perhaps a little overconfident, the Cards found it tough going against the Eagles. Unable to put it together, the third consecutive state tourney berth they had sought slipped by.
