A team that had been rated to finish fourth in the Des Plaines Valley Conference developed into a team of Fighting War- riors. As a result, a second consecutive outright Conference championship was brought to Willowbrook. The Varsity coaching staff was proud of the accomplishments of the 1967 Warrior team, for this team earned honors through hard work and dedication. This was best illustrated by the 22 seniors on the 1967 squad, for in their three prior years in football they had not had even a winning record. A Conference cham- pionshipintheir senior yearis an amazing conquest. The overall seasonal record for the Varsity team was 5 wins, 1 loss, and 1 tie. Tri-captains for the team were Doug Diller, Ron Kimball, and Chuck Tassio. Most Improved Player went to Dave Phelps, Most Valu- able Playerto Chuck Tassio, and the Sportsmanship Award to Bob Paulaitis. Coaches Evans, Janoski, Owen, and Loew want to thank the 1967 Des Plaines Valley Conference Football Champions fortheir cooperation and for being such a fine group of young men to coach.
