The coaches and players looked upon the 1976-77 season with high hopes and dreams. But those hopeful visions never quite materialized as their final record stood at 5-7-1. The predominantly senior squad could not get on track the first half of the season losing six of their first seven contests. The prob- lem seemed to lie in the area of the goalie where opponents scored at will. After a personel switch which bmught senior for- ward Randy Cody into the nets, the team preceeded to put to- gether a string of impressive victories. It began with back to back shutouts against Western Hills 11-01 and Mariemont 01-01, and ended with a second place finish in the Metropolitan league. wmwewwe Coach Ernest A. Wagner D. Helton R.

G. Cole Coach Hlad DA Nielsen I. Neidhart T. Tobias The 1976 season was one Mr, HIad and his golfers would rather forget. Their many losses were due mainly to inex- perience in tournament competition and general inconsis- tency. Mr. Hlad has great expectations for next years team as the entire team returns. Junior James Neidhaxt was awarded the most valuable player award. 25
