FCOTB LL The Wilmot Panthers came up with a 1957 football record of two wins and four losses with two tie scores thrown in. This is a somewhat le.ss impressive record than the one made by the Panthers of 1956, but the graduation of seven outstanding boys had left Coaches Bucci and Handke with an inexperienced team and this inexperience played a big role in the 1957 outcome as mistakes were the determining factor in a big share of the games lost. In our first game the team left the An- tioch jinx', to be dealt with by some future Panther team as they were defeated by a margin of six to nothing. While making a block in this game, senior tackle, Wendell Schenning, suffered a back injury which hurt our line as he was able to play but very little during the rest of the season. One week later the team lifted the spirits and hopes of its members, the fans, and the students here as they tied the pre-season favorite, Mukwonago, six to six. Mukwon- ago went on to win the conference title. A freshman, Greg Bush, tossed to LaMeer for the score in this game. East Troy was our next opponent and this game also ended in a stalemate seven to seven. Here again the lack of experience showed itself. Num- erous offside penalties near the East Troy goal stopped Wilmot scores which could have given us the Victory. Baumann went over for our score. The remainder of the games during the whole season was a group of hard-fought encounters, but not until the final game of the season against Burlington did the team really get to moving. We beat the Demons twenty-seven to nothing. We finished the year in fifth place in the conference stand- ings. Coach Handke's B team or hamburg- ers had a five - win - one - loss record and should combine with this year's A squad holdovers to build a good team next year. Junior end, 'Wally Partenheimer, re- ceived all-conference honors and junior guard, Jim Elwood, tied for all-conference at his position, but since he was a junior and the other boy a senior he was placed on the second team. Jim was also named as player of the year for this area by the Burlington Standard-Press. Captain Jack LaMeer, fifth highest scorer in the league, and senior center, Wally Rosentreter, were given honorable mention by the sports writers.
