Moeller Reclaims State Crown->

35-ll

The Cincinnati Enquirer

COLUMBUS, Ohio-Moeller is back on top again. It was just Uke old times Sunday at rainy Ohio Stadium, where the Crusaders smashed Canton McKinley, 35-11, to win the school's seventh state football championship. The Crusaders, as in their days of yore and Faust, made a farce of the Division I title game and reclaimed their position as the undisputed king of Ohio prep football. Senior tailback Tony Jackson rushed for 176 yards and two touchdowns to lead Moeller, which finished 13-1 and culminated a bittersweet season. Critics said Moeller had one of its worst teams ever, but the res1Uent Crusaders laughed last. "This one," said a beaming Moeller coach Steve Klonne, "is the sweetest yet. It's de!lnitely better than '82, because we weren't supposed to be here this year." In 1982, rookie head coach Klonne took the powerful John Shaffer-Hiawatha Francisco Moeller team to the state title and the Crusaders were named mythical national champs. Moeller hadn't been back to the st.at.P t.ltle game since, a long drought by Crusader standards. They weren't supposed to make it here this year, since 20 of 22 starters graduated from last year's team. "In '82, we had such a great team that the only thing I had to do was not screw it up," said Klonne. "These guys this year ... they have so much character. Every one of them is a winner." Mistake-prone Canton McKinley, which !lnished 12-2, will attest to that. The game had been rated a tossup coming in, but Moeller pounced immediately and led the whole way. On the second play from scrimmage, the sllppery 5-foot-9, 177-pound Jackson sprinted 77 yards down the right sidellne for a touchdown. It was 7-0, Moeller, just 50 seconds into the game.

HON. BILL SCHUETIE OF MICHIGAN

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Thursday, December 19, 1985 Mr. SCHUE'M'E. Mr. Speaker, like her husband, Mrs. Nancy Addleman has served the people of her community well, and I commend her for her active involvement. Nancy Addleman's activity in the General Federation of Women's Clubs of Michigan culminated with her election as president ·of the Big Rapids Intermediate Women's Club.· During her presidency, the club was elected club-of-the-year in the State of Michigan. Her activity in this organization also gave her the opportunity to become the assistant director of the Hugh O'Brian Leadership Seminar held at Central Michigan Univer8ity in 1985. Nancy Addleman was also active in the Girl Scouts of America. She and her family were long, active members of the United Church in Big Rapids, MI. In addition to holding her elected position in the GFWC. Nancy Addleman's leadership capabilities were also recognized by the people of Mecosta County, for she was elected to the Big Rapids School Board and rose to the presidency of that board. Although the people of her community will miss her, it is with great pleasure that I recommend 1\frs. Nancy Addleman to the people of 1\fissouri.

Mr. Speaker, It Is with «reat pride that l take this opportunity to express my conlflltulations to An:hbishop Moeller High School regarding their seventh Division One State Football Championship. Their recent 35-to-11 victory over Canton-McKinley High School was impressive to say the least. This win illustrates the . hard work and perseverance of these players to be the best football team in Ohio. During the football s~ason this championship team had the strong support of their fellow students, parents and friends to achieve this coveted state crown. In my view, this kind of dedication is the hallmark of school spirit. Mr. Speaker. the Moeller High School football team has players from four different congressional districts. We all share their joy in this noteworthy accomplishment and wish them future successes. I have provided the names of this formidable organization for the consideration of my colleagues: MOELLER HIGH SCHOOL STATE CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL TEAM 1985 VARSITY PLAYERS

TAX REFORM

HON. BARBARA A. MIKULSKI OF MARYLAND

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Thursday, December 19, 1985 Ms. MIKULSKI. Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday night, by voice vote, the House passed the 1985 tax-reform bill. I have always belie\'ed voters have the right to know where their Members stand on issues. I don't think Members of Congress should e•·er hide behind a voice vote. I supported the bipartisan majority to keep the tax-reform steam engine on track and allow it to pick up more passengers. I belin~ the principle of tax reform is important. I believe that tax fairness is essential. And I believe our efforts to achieve these goals must continue. The tax bill passed by the House has good news and bad news in it. The good news is that it compresses the number of tax brackets, increases personal exemptions, keeps deductions for State and local taxes, does not tax fringe benefits, clost>s loopholes, and has a minimum corporate tax to ensure that corporations that profil off demoncracy help pay the cost of democracy. But there is bad news in the tax bill, too. In fact, there are several parts or the bill that cause me great alarm, and which I tried during the last fe)IV days to 'correct through parliamentary · initiatins. I hope these concernK will he correctt>d in the Senatt>.

'Another .t·rancisco Hasks In Limelight BY TOM GROESCHEN The Cincinnati Enquirer

COLUMBUS, Ohio-Moeller ·fullback Shawn Francisco, known ~to most as "Hiawatha and ~ D'Juan's brother," enjoyed his day ;'~in the spotlight as several mem, : bers of the media sought him out after the game. Francisco, a 5-11, 183-pound senior fullback, gained 66 yards on only seven carries and scored a touchdown (a 55-yard run) in . Moeller's title game victory Sund;ay. ,. Wearing the No. 43 that his · brothers made famous as Moeller ~ilbacks, Shawn was never accorded the acclaim of Hiawatha f:Lnd D'Juan, who are both now at ~otre Dame. :, : "I had my own job to do," a ·smiling Shawn said shortly after the final gun.

Moeller's 7th Title 'Sweetest' BY TONY PUGH The Cincinnati Enquirer

While state football championships have become a routine occurrence for Moeller High School alumni, several former graduates said Sunday's 35-11 thumping of Canton McKinley was probably the sweetest ever. It wasn't until the Crusaders upset Princeton two weeks ago that the stigma of an early-season 33-14 loss to Alabama J.O. Johnson was wrestled from the team's shoulders. After Sunday's victory, fans at Barleycorn's in Montgomery said the school's seventh state title was more a victory over · adversity. "I THINK they're probably the most notable Moeller team because they've got so much character," said Barleycorn's bartender Joe Lima. "They lost early, but bounced back." A 1979 Moeller graduate and member of the school's state championship team that year, Lima served as a volunteer coach for several years after graduation. He said Sunday's victory was special for him because he helped coach many of the team's key players when they were freshmen. "They're really hardworking and dedicated," he said. Three Moeller graduates who attended Sunday's Bengal game at Riverfront stadium kept tabs on their alma mater with a small portable television set. While the Bengals cruised to a 45-27 victory over the Houston Oilers, Doug Rodenfels, 28, Pete Byrnes, 27, and Mark Bechtold, 28, were watching the Crusaders hold off Canton McKinley. "THAT'S DIEHARD fans for you," Byrnes said. "Notre Dame couldn't bring one home for Gerry (Faust), so Moeller did." "After that loss to Alabama, they didn't look that good, but they looked real good today," Rodenfels added. Paul Barron, 25, a '78 Moeller graduate, said he, too, was concerned about the once-invincible Crusaders early this season. "It just wasn't the same team I had seen in the past," Barron said. "They just weren't together at the beginning of the year. They weren't really that impressive, but they pulled things together." business of reconditioning old golf balls, had special interest in Sunday's game. It was that Canton McKinley shut out Bacigalupo's team, 13-0, in the 198ln state finals. After Sunday's game, Bacigalupo made a special effort to find his successor, current Moeller coach Steve Klonne. The two embraced, and Bacigalupo had only two words for

Klonne. "Thanks, Coach."

•••

MOELLER'S PLAYERS were at a high emotional pitch before the game. . "It was just like Princeton all over again," said quarterback Scott Schaffner, referring to Moeller's 24-12 upset victory in the regional finals two weeks ago.

Said wingback Ray Hilvert, an offensive co-captain, "At the pre-game senior meeting, we reflected on the four years we had together and what this all meant to us. A lot of guys really opened . up with their feelings. It was pretty emotional." "We played from the heart," said tailback Tony Jackson. "This was our four-year goal, to be able to stand together in the end zone . here as state champions in our · senior year. It's an indescribable feeling."

•••

LOOKING FOR keys as to what , made Moeller the state champi- ·. on? How about the running of Jackson, who didn't start until the eighth game of the year but led the team through the play- i offs? : How about Schaffner, a junior who took over as quarterback at mid -season and played like he was a young Dan Marino? And how about the Crusader , defense, which allowed a school · record 156 points in the regular season but was a terror in the playoffs, allowing only 11 points per game? For that matter, how about everybody?

•••

CHECKING THE final Crusader ' stats: Tailback Jackson finished with 178 carries for 1,432 yards and 16 touchdowns. Quarterback Schaffner completed 111 of 195 passes for exactly, 1,600 yards and 18 TDs. Wingback Hilvert didn't catch ' a pass Sunday, but finished with 51 catches and 11 touchdowns this year and is Moeller's all-time leading receiver with 90 grabs. Defensively, safety Vada Murray had a city-record 13 interceptions (all in the regular season). Murray, plus linebackers Doug . Bates, Tim Marklay, and Chip Carney and defensive linemen Tony Dawson and Todd Neiert all had well over 100 tackling points.

Moeller - First-year coach Dan Ragland appears to have the potential to field an outstanding team during the 198586 season. The Crusaders have an above-average inside game with Joe Semrad, 6-7; Vada Murray, 6-4; Andy Meyer, 6-5; and Doug Bates, 6-5. But the guard position is the big question mark and could determine the success or failure of Moeller this seaon. "We don't have any out·standing players," Ragland commented. "We are looking for floor leadership, better defense and rebounding from this group."

• Moeller-h!ters ltke to tntnk so and, grasping at any straws that hit th!! floor, produce evidence that In 1985 there are finally signs of erosion In the c 1ty's/state's/natton's/world's greatest high school football team. The Crusaders are ranked No. 1 in Ctn .. ctnnatl for about the m1lltonth straight year and this pre-season are rated ninth In the country by USA Today. At first glance, Moeller doesn't seem the Invincible monster It usually Is. FOR INSTANCE: • Despite perfect (10-0) regular seasons In 1983 and 1984, Moeller both times fatled to survive the first round of the state playoffs. Since the Division I state playoffs began In 1972, Moeller had never previously gone more than one year without reaching the state finals. g Matters deteriorated somewhat on the underclass levels In 1984, as Moeller ha,d _strings of seven straight Greater Ctn-

clnnatl League reserve titles and six straight GCL freshman titles snapped. The reserves had a 4-4 record, the school's worst Jayvee mark since 1966. The freshman were 4-3, the worst frosh record since 1971. • This year, the Crusaders must make up for grad1,1atlon losses wlitch took 20 of 22 starters, Including Enquirer Co-Players of the Year Mark Kamphaus and D'Juan Francisco. This may seem Uke a huge overhaul, but the school's talent pool has overcome- such 1osses before. Moeller had to replace 20 starters In 1~83 and still went 10-1. Suggest that·, Moeller Is sUpping, and head coach Steve Klonne-a bodybutldlng enthusiast who st111 looks as If he could whip most of his linemen-doesn't get upset. Klonne, a _mUd-mannered man off the field, Is Instead amused. . "Some peop~e _think we shouldn't be

No.1?" Klonrie asked rhetorically. "We love tt. Print that." . _ . - KJ.ONNE IS using: the snll!e remarks a motivational tool. "We hear all over the place that we're gettable this year, and we talk to our team about It every day," said Klonne. "Everybody thinks that because we gral1uated some big names, we won't be as good. But I would still rate us first because we've · won 13 of 14 city titles." The two "name" players who return to start-wide receiver Ray Hllvert and safe-· ty Vada Murray-say they can't understand why this year should be any differ· ent. · "There's still no excuse why we won't have a good football team again," said Hllvert. "Instead of having the superstars at a couple of positions, we'll have players with average talent at all positions. That will make us a tougher team overall." Said Murray, "We put It upon ourselves to go undefeated every year, and I think we can again. We're still going to go for the national title." (Please see MOELLER, Page B-6)

, Moeller is what several coaches described the "mystery" team for 1985. While everyone agress that Moeller ts the team to beat coach Steve Klonne has som~ big shoes to ftll with the loss of 20 starters, including quarterback Mark Kamphaus and running back D'Juan Francisco. But it appears that the Crusaders have adequate replacements in key positions including Offensive tackle Ed Ennis, defensive tackle Tony Dawson, 'defensive back: Vada Murray, center Trevor Ryals and runntng back Ray Hilvert. .Quarterback is up for grabs with senior Tom ·Nicholson battling Junior Scott Schaffner for the starting role. Tailbacks Bryan ·Murphy and Tony Jackson and fullbacks ~?cott Marshall and Steve Gahr will handle the running assignments. , Ray Hilvert is the only experienced receiver, but watch for Ken Konrad, Jason Papes and Shawn Francisco to devel-· op quiqkly. The 44 Defense again wm be the cornerstone or the Crusader defense. While the linebacker corps has been depleted Chip Carney, Todd Netert' Larry Rytel and Nick Vonder~ haar appear to be adequate replacements. The defensive line ts big ai¥t strong again. Seniors Dawson Steve Wets and Mike Sturgt~ and juniors John Gallagher Bob Powell and Jim Loga~ should lead the way.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE B-1

HOW GOOD is Moeller? Here are the school's major achievements through its 22-year history: • Overall record of 219-20-2. • Five national championships. • Six state championships. • 13 city championships, including six in a row. • 16 Greater Cincinnati League championships, including 12 in a lrow. Moeller has won 56 straight GCJ. games since 1972. \ i 10 undefeated teams. • 68-game regular season win•ning streak. Etc., etc. Cheak the record, and you'll understand why local coaches aren't looking for Moeller to buckle any time soon. "MOELLER WILL never be down," said Pat Mancuso, whose Ptinceton team has been the only club able to consistently compete with Moeller in the last decade. Princeton, though ranked No.2 in the city again, is ironically ranked

Describing the whys and ahead of Moeller in the USA Today pre-season national rankings. wherefores of Moeller's success Princeton is fifth and Moeller can be simultaneously simple and complex.

How does Moeller do it? Is first in the city, then the state, there a mad scientist who cranks and finally the nation.

At Moeller, the bitterness st11111ngers over a 10-7 opening round playoff loss to heavy underdog Centerv1lle. The game was played in pouring rain, and many Moellerites stand by their claim that if the field had been dry, it would have been a different story. WITH ALL that in mind Moeller heads into the season with teeth gritted. Going with its tradition of playing top national competition, the Crusaders will bus 100 mlles to the Hoosier Dome Saturday night to meet Indianapolis Cathedral, which is judged by wire services as Indiana's best prep team in Class AAA.

Players CONTINUED FROM PAGE B-7 lege coaches. Two-year starter; excellent student. Doug Kley, TE, Oak Hills, 6-4, 230-His size means he could be moved to guard In college.

One of three monsters on a rugged Middie front line, all of whom will command college attention. Brad Kuehn, K-P, Western Hills, 5-9, 165-The area's top kicker. Strong legged-veteran of two varsity seasons. Continually booms field goals of 50-plus yards in practice and hit a 47-yarder In a game last year. Bob Lachtrupp, TE, Elder, 6-6, 215-He may be built like Kellen Winslow, but still has a Jot to prove. Does show lots of promise, and could be a real find if he improves. Mark Lehman, OT, Colerain, 6-4, 230-0utstanding pass blocker, quick feet, quick off the ball. Enters third year as a starter, unusual at a big school such as Colerain. Being heavily scouted, especially by Big Ten and SEC schools .. Terry Mays, LB, Withrow, 6-.2, 220-Strong, quick, tough and durable, and has just the right size to play college ball. Presence is such that opposing offenses probably won't run his way too often. Len Mcintyre, TB-S, Roger Bacon, 6-0, 186-Strong runner, very aggressive with 4.5-4.6 speed. Fine all-around athlete. Second-year starter at free safety. Dennis McLean, TB, Elder, 6-0, 1!10-Showed promise of greatness by scoring three touchdowns In a game versus a tough St. Xavier team In '84. Good speed. Doug McKinnon, T, Hamilton, 6-2, 232-He'll most likely be a guard in college. Good straight ahead blocker with decent quickness. Mike Meece, WR-S, Madeira, 6-6, 205-Size and overall talent has him being heavily recruited by the likes of Ohio State and Notre Dame. Strong, good hands, runs crisp routes and rarely makes mistakes. Speed Is 4.7.

Rick Mileham, G, Mariemont, 6-3, 248-The most heavily-recruited player In coach Tom Crosby's eight years at Mariemont. First-team all-state player, good quickness, strength, and aggressiveness. Over 30 big schools have called, Including Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio State. Mike Mom per, LB, St. Xavier, 6-2, 190-A real terminator against opposing running attacks. Has pretty good speed (4.8) for his size, also one of the strongest players on his team.

Mike Rapien, DT, Elder, 6-5, 235-Strength is usually never in question with a fellow of this bulk, and Rapine fits the mold. Also moves well, which should merit him a hard look from the big schools. Reggie Redding, DT, Forest Park, 6-4, 272-Has deceptively good speed and good agility, and all the ingredients to make It at any major college. Will anchor the Chargers' defensive line.

precious few of either this season since they have little depth and fewer bodies than in recent years. Not a fearsome team on paper, but the Spartans have seasoned seniors In several key positions and their Greater Cincinnati League schedule can only toughen them. Tailback Len Mcintyre and guard Jim Huxel lead the way. 8. SYCAMORE: After 21 years as an assistant on both the prep and college levels, Ron Corradini assumes his first head coaching job. With the Aviators, he inherits a strong tradition and lots of bodies. Several key skill people graduated, but holdover quarterback Mark Pavlech is one of the city's best. Aves should finish several games over .500 again. 9. ELDER: Coming off Its worst season (2-6-1) in many years, the Panthers' main goal this year will be to restore some wounded pride. With a general lack of experience and depth, it seems Elder may be a year or two away from regaining Its status as one of the best five programs in town. With a strong defense and decent talent at the offensive skill positions, the Panthers could surprise. 10. OAK HILLS: The loss of QB Skeeter Obert, RB Jim Hebert, and WR Maury Bibent to graduation leads coach Ed Jackson to believe the Highlanders are looking at a 5-5 season. Oak Hills fans would rather see 8-2 or 9-1, but that probably won't happen. Tight end Doug Kley (6-4, 235), TB Bill Kurtz and quarterback Rick Haucke-a transfer from LaSalle-will be the keys to the offense. Here is a league-by-league look at this year's races. Five of the leagues-

Cincinnati Hills, Cross County, Eastern Metro, Metro county, and Western Metro-will begin their first seasons of play. Teams are listed in order pf coaches' pre-season prognostications: CINCINNATI HILLS LEAGUE: 1. CAPE; 2. Wyoming; 3. Mariemont; 4. Deer Park; 5. Loveland; 6. Reading; 7. Indian Hill; 8. Madeira; 9. Finneytown. CAPE and super-runner Carlos Snow are given the edge here, but Wyoming, Mariemont, and Deer Park-all with strong traditions-should make this a four-team race. Loveland and Reading seem to be a step or two behind the upper division, while Indian Hill, Madeira, and long-suffering Finneytown will probably have to be content to slug it out for the final three spots. CROSS COUNTY LEAGUE: 1. Norwood; 2. Forest Park; 3. McNicholas; 4. Northwest; 5. Walnut Hills; 6. Amelia. Coming off a 9-1 season, Norwood rates a slight edge over a rebuilding Forest Park team. McNicholas, defending Division Ill state runner-up, could well be the sleeper team here. Northwest and Walnut Hills are only given outside shots at contending. Amelia, moving in from the Clermont county League, may get roughed up a bit against a stronger schedule. EASTERN METRO INDEPENDENT LEAGUE: 1. Sycamore; 2. Withrow; 3. Milford; 4, Anderson; 5. Turpin; 6. Glen Este. Sycamore, long a power on Cincinnati's east side, is rated a solid choice to win this new league. Withrow, with a huge turnout of players, could well become the team to beat. Milford has adequate talent but will probably have to settle for third place, Anderson, Turpin, and Glen Este had a combined record of 5-25 last year and will battle for fourth place. GREATER CINCINNATI LEAGUE-1. Moeller; 2. LaSalle; 3. St. Xavier; 4. Roger Bacon; 5. Elder. Moeller hasn't lost a GCL game since 1972. Enough said. The other fellows will once again compete for No. 2, and it aooears too close ·to call between La-

Brian Williams, CB, Moeller, 6-1, 175-A real head-hunter who can run like A) a qeer, B) a gazelle, or C) a cheetah, choose one. Has been timed at a sizzling 4.38 seconds In the 40, accomplishing this while wearing a helmet and running on a grass surface. A real firebrand and tough hitter. Curtis Williams, LB, Princeton, 6-4, 190-Has great mobi!lty, good quickness, good reads, good knowledge of the game. Very Intense player. Roz,ell Winters, RB, Forest Park, 6-0, 198-Winters can flat lay it out, with 4.4 speed. Has had some Injury problems but it he can keep his health, he's a majorleague prospect.

Poll CONTINUED FROM PAGE B-7 are facing a murderous schedule, as defending state runner-up North Canton Hoover, Princeton, Middletown, and St. Xavier are Included. There are quality players such as LB Dave Abbott and OT Mark Lehman, but few proven bodies in either backfield. Add the fact that as many as eight soJlhomores could start, and you'll understand why Kocica Is s,outing a few more gray hairs t se days. . LaSALLE: The Lancers fooled Saturday morning quarterbacks with their surprising 8-2 season a year ago, but won't be able to catch folks unawares this time. LaSalle might start sluggishly since returning QB Doug Shields Is expected to miss a few games because of injury. Capable backup Mike McMahon Is ready to step in, and If he performs, the Lancers should have enough to handle anyone ... except maybe Moeller, which LaSalle has never beaten In 22 meetings. 6. AIKEN: Coach John Young pleads that his team Is ranked over its heac,t "They're just going on our name," said Young, whose team roughed up the old Public High School League for the past four years and is 50-24-5 in Young's eight-year tenure. Six returning offensive startersreceivers Lonnie Watkins, Ray Smith, and Dixon Edwards and backs Rick McNeal, Lamar Gooch, and Tony Bates-all have sprinter's speed. Tough schedule Includes first two games with Princeton and St. Xavier. 7. ROGER BACON: No team can afford too many mistakes or Injuries, but the Spartans can aUord

Salle and St. xa,vier. Roger Bacon lost several key people and can't be considered a realistic threat. Elder comes off its first winless GCL season In nearly 30 years, and league coaches see the Panthers at the bottom again. GREATER MIAMI CONFERENCE-1. Princeton; 2. Middletown; 3. Lima Senior; 4. Lakota; 5. Hamilton; 6. Fairfield. Princeton, which has won or shared every league title since the GMC was born in 1967, is considered a shoo-in to win again. Outside of that, you might be able to shake 'em out and let 'em fall. Any of the other teams are given a shot at second place, with Middletown, Lima Senior, and Lakota probably a bit stronger than Hamilton and Fairfield. METRO COUNTY CONFERENCE-1. Colerain; 2. Aiken; 3. Western Hills; 4. Oak Hills; 5. Mount Healthy; 6. Woodward. Talk about a dogfight; this is almost certainly the strongest of the new divisions. Colerain and Aiken are seen as neck-and-neck for the top, with Western Hills and Oak Hills both decent but probably out of title range. Mount Healthy is rebuilding, and Woodward could take a pounding as it is a unanimous last-place choice. MIAMI .VALLEY CONFERENCE-1. Summit Country Day; 2. New Miami; 3. Lockland; 4. Cincinnati Country Day; 5. Landmark Christian. (Batavia has joined MVC but won't play league football games until 1986). New Miami broke Summit's mini-streak of two straight MVC titles last year, but the Silver Knights should snatch the title back. Lockland could scramble things as a darkhorse. CCD and Landmark probably won't contend. WESTERN METRO LEAGUE-1. Greenhills; 2. Harrison; 3. Taylor; 4. Hughes; 5. Taft; 6. North College Hill. Greenhills is a runaway favorite to win here, with Harrison solid at No. 2 and Taylor third. The bottom three teams are trying to shake losing traditions. Taft was 3-7 last year, while Hughes "nrrNr.H w<>r<> hnth n.tn

The Dolly Cohen National Scholar Athlete and Leader Award was conceived in 1967 by John Wiethe and was established this same year by the late Dolly Cohen. The Award is a Scholarship for $1,000.00 for graduate work. Dolly Cohen was the only woman honored by the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame at its Awards Dinner in 1969, in New York, at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. This gave her the distinction of being America's first lady of football. Her many philanthrophies and efforts on behalf of the humanities, not only locally but on the national level are too numerous to mention. Honored by three Presidents of the United States, she goes down in history as one of the greatest women of our generation.

QB Frey, Coach Hubbard Win Honors BY TOM GROESCHEN The Cincinnati Enquirer

Greg Frey traveled where no Cincinnati prep quarterback had • ever gone. Ben Hubbard took I<'airfleld to heights never before attained. St. Xavier's Frey and Fairfield's Hubbard both had extra- terrestrial seasons and are The ~ Enquirer's Class AAA prep football Player and Coach of the Year, re~pectlvely, for 1985. 1•'rey, a 6-foot-2, 180-pound senior, completed 180 of 342 passes for 2,970 yards and 28 touchdowns as he led the Bombers to a 6-4 reeord. l''rey's yardage and touchdown totals are Cincinnati records for one season. He threw for 4, 702 yards and 47 TDs in his varsity career and set most St. X passing records. Hubbard, 49, directed Fairfield to its best season In more than 40 years. The Indians were 8-2 and earned a Division I playoff berth for the first time. Falr!ield rebounded from a 2-8 season In 1984 and 2-7-1 In 1983. FREY HEADS the all-city offense, which features five players from Division I state champion Moeller: running back Tony Jackson, split end Ray Hllvert, tight end Tom Bratten, center Trevor Ryals, and tackle Alan Shaw. Defensively, Moeller safety Vada Murray headlines the team. Murray had 13 Interceptions this year and 21 for his career, and earned first-team honors for the second straight season. Colerain linebacker Dave Abbott was also named !irst-team for the second consecutive year. As usual, Moeller and

BEN HUBBARD . . coached Fairfield to playoffs

Princeton dominated the all-star selections. Moeller, which won Its seventh state championship, had the five first-team offensive members, plus Murray and linebacker Doug Bates on defense. Princeton Is represented by three players on offense and three on defense. Running back Mike Brown, guard Terrill Hunter, kicker Doug Geverdt, defensive lineman Shane Curry, linebacker Curtis Williams, and defensive back Greg Mitchell made first team for the city champion VIkings.

St. Xavier's Frey shattered the city's major passing records as he confounded defenders for nearly 300 yards passing and three TDs per game. His most memorable night was a 487-yard passing effort In a 5642 loss to Moeller, whkh was the ninth best one-game passing total In United States prep history. "IT'S A great thrill being Player of the Year; I was really hoping to get It at the beginning of the year," Frey said. "After my first few games, when I saw what kind of stats I had, I thought I could do

it. B:Jt I never thought I'd have the kind of year I did." Sycamore coach Ron Corradlnl, a college assistant coach for 21 years before coming to Sycamore this year, said Frey Is big-time all the way. Frey threw for three TD passes In a 39-7 win over Syacmore in the first game or the year. "He has a strong arm, and he moves well," says Corradlnl. "He's quick enough to break the contain If you think you're going to Just rush him. He has what we call •good feet' to keep you out or trouble, and he throws on the run well. · Hundreds or Division I colleges have sent letters to Frey, who says his list. of visits will probably Include Ohio State, Notre Dame, Boston College, North Carolina .and North Carolina State. Georgia Tech and Holy Cross are also In the running, Frey said. "I want to go somewhere where I can throw the ball," he said. While I<'rey prepares to move on, Fairfield's Hubbard will stay and prepare !or what he hopes will be another glorious season. The Indians, picked to finish last In the Greater Miami Conference this season, shocked everyone but Hubbard In compiling an B-2 record. Hubbard had lots of competition In the Coach of the Year derby. Other candidates Included Moeller's Steve Klonne (Division I state champ); Princeton's Pat Mancuso (city champion); Taft's Dave Imboden (7-3 record, the school's first winning mark In 16 years); Greenhills' Larry Bauman (Division II state semifinalist); and Withrow's Dale Mueller (9-1 record, the school's best In 44 years).

FAIRFIELD-12

The Moeller Crusaders over came a slow start and defeated the Fairfield Indians 28-12 Saturday night at Galbreath Field in the first round of the state playoffs. The victory advanced the Crusaders into the regionals final versus the state's number one ranked team, the Princeton Vikings. Moeller began the game slowly as the Indians came out ready to play. An inspired Fairfield defense led by linebacker Tom Popplewell and cornerback Jamie McBee set up the first score of the game by partially blocking a Ray Hilvert punt. Quarterback John Curtis hooked up with tight end Steve Phillips twice, the second resulting in a 26-yard touchdown. Linebacker Jim Russell blocked Larry Steinberg's conversion and Fairfield led 6-0. The Crusaders retaliated immediately. Tailback Tony Jackson ripped a 60-yard run over the left side and quarterback Scott Schaffner hit Hilvert with an 18-yard touchdown pass. Hal Pisciotta's conversion put Moeller in front 7-6. •••••••••••••••••• The remainder of the half was a defensive struggle. The Moeller defense completely stymied the Fairfield attack. .

The Moeller defense continued to dominate in the third quarter. Indian punter Popplewell attempted to run on fourth down, but a tremendous hit by linebacker Tim Mark lay stopped him inches shy of the first down. Moeller increased their lead to 14-6 on a 38 yard touchdown run by Tony Jackson. Jackson put in 198 yards on 23 carries to a Moeller ground game that netted 261 yards on 40 attempts. Linemen Ed Ennis and Trevor Ryals paved the way for most of the yardage and protected Schaffner well in the second half after allowing four sacks in the first. For the game, Schaffner hit on 10 of 18 passes for 91 yards and one touchdown. The Indians narrowed the deficit to 14-12 with 8 minutes to go in the game on a 14-yard pass from Curtis, who completed 11 of 29 passes for 116 yards, to fullback Jeff Adki~s. Safety Vada Murray broke up the two-po1nt conversion pass intended for Popplewell to preserve the lead. Moeller returnman Hilvert, who led all receivers with 7 receptions for 63 yards, returned the ensuing kickoff 55 yards to increase the Moeller lead to 21-12. The Indians battled back behind the scrambling and passing of Curtis. Without a runn!ng game, Curtis had 78 of Fairfield's 86 rushmg yards on scrambles, the Indians moved to the Crusader 30. Defensive back Brian Williams ended the threat though by picking off a Curtis pass and returning it 25 vards to midfield. Moeller moved down the field behind Jackson and fullback Shawn Francisco, who _rus~ed for 92 yards on 13 carries, to the c~mchmg score. It came on a 6-yard run by Franc1sco and put the Indians away 28-12. The game next week will pit the number one and number two teams in the state, Princeton and Moeller. The winner will advance to the state semi-finals. b y Kevm . Bra1g .

BRING 'EM ON! MOELLER-24 PRINCETON-I 2 Saturday afternoon at Nippert Stadium, the State championship hopes of the undefeated Princeton Vickings were dashed. The Moeller Crusaders, backed by an emotional crowd, defeated the Nation's number two ranked team 24-12. The victory advanced the Crusaders to the State semi-finals against the Troy Trojans. The game began as a defensive struggle between the traditional rivals, but Moeller took a 7-Q lead on a Schaffner to Ray Hilvert pass of 13 yards one play after Doug Bates forced and recovered a Viking fumble. Schaffner, who completed 9 of 15 passes for 117 yards and 2 touchdowns, faked to Tony Jackson and rolled right and found Hilvert deep in the end zone behind Princeton defensive back Mike Boyd., The Crusader defense throttled the Princeton running game of halfbacks Mike Brown and Kevin Garrett. The Vikings ended the first quarter with minus one yard ru_~hing as linebacker Bates and nose tackle Tony Dawson controlled the line of scrimmage. The Crusaders increased their lead to 14-0 in the second quarter when Hilvert took a pitch out and cracked over his left tackle for a 1-yard touchdown. The key play in the drive was a 16 yard run by fullback Shawn Francisco to the one. Francisco contributed 84 yards on 16 carries to a Moeller ground game that netted 163 yards on 48 attempts. The Moeller defense continued to dominate the Princeton attack. For the game Moeller held Brown and Garrett, who had been averaging 258 yards a game to only 107 yards. Inside linebackers Tim Marklay and Larry Rytel closed up the middle and outside linebackers Chip Carney, Jim Knecht and Bates closed off the outside. Defensive backs Brian Williams, Greg Henry, Vada Murray and Mike Hunter held Princeton quarterback Bill Bates to only 5 completions in 18 attempts for 89 yards. Dawson and Iinemates Todd Neiert and Steve Weis continually pressured and sacked Bates all day. Moeller increased their halftime lead to 17-0 on a Hal Pisciotta 39-yard field goal following another Princeton fumble. Pisciotta's kick came with under a minute to go in the half and barely cleared the crossbar despite the heavy head wind. In the second half, the Princeton defense came around and began to stop Moeller. Defensive linemen Shane Curry, Bruce James and Larry Southall pressured Schaffner and contained the Crusader running backs. With 2 minutes to go in the third period, Garrett broke a 20 yard run for a touchdown ta bring Princeton within 17-6. Linebacker Tim Marklay blocked the extra point, however. The Vikings again forced a Moeller punt, one of seven in the game and marched down the field against a tiring Moeller defense to close within 17-12. The key play was a pass from Bates to Brown to the Moeller 9. Three plays later Bates hit flanker Marcus Jones for the score. The two point extra point was broken up by Marklay and Rytel. After putting together a pair of first downs, tailback Tony Jackson ripped off a 52 yard to the Princeton 11. Jackson ran for 97 yards in 25 carries, better that Brown or Garrett. From the 11, tight end Tom Bratten caught his only pass of the game of the clinching score. The Pisciotta extra point pushed the Crusader lead to 24-12 and turned out the lights on the Vikings with only 3 minutes to play. Moeller raised their record to 11-1 and will go on to the State semi-finals. Princeton finishes a very successful 1 ( ¡1 year. by Kevin Bra.UZ

MOELLER-21 TROY-10

The Moeller Cru~ders continued their march towards a State Championship by beating the Troy Trojans 21-10 Saturday night at Welcome Stadium. The victory, before over 11,000 fans, was a defensive battle. Most of the offense came from the running games as the pass was shut down. The inspired Trojans came out ready to play. Behind running backs Mike Delwiche and Larry· Giangulio, Troy took the opening kickoff and marched 70 yards on the ground to a field goal Todd Cruse booted the kick from 35 yards afte1 the Moeller defense shut down the potent Trojan running game. After an exchange of punts, the Crusaders set off on a ground march of their own. Tailback Tony Jackson carried on 7 of 10 plays and capped the drive with a 10 yard touchdown run. Jackson was most of the Crusader offense, carrying the ball 32 times for 180 yards. The Trojans bounced back to grab a 1o-7 lead early in the second quarter. Again Delwich did most the damage. The senior, running from the Trojans Delaware wing-T offense, had gained over 1,400 yards during the regUlar season and showed how he got them by ripping off runs of 33 and 18 yards. The second run resulted in a Troy touchdown and Cruse's successful point after put the Trojans up 10-7. Troy's powerful running game was able to grind out 246 yards on a Moeller defense that had limited Princeton to 150 yards under their average the previous week. Delwiche accounted for 128 of those yards, but the Crusader defense never let the Trojans get close again. The Crusaders battled back to take a 14-10 lead at the half on a 1-yard blast by Jackson. The big play in the drive was a 45 yard pass from quarterback Scott Schaffner to tight end Tom Bratten to the 4 yard line. Two plays later Jackson followed Trevor Ryals and Charlie Eckert into the end zone. Hal Pisciotta's second point after gave Moeller their 4-point halftime margin. The second half turned into a defense war. The Trojan running game had totalled 166 yards at the half but the Crusader defense held Troy to 80 yard~ on the ground in the second period. Defensive linemen Todd Neiert, Tony Dawson and Steve Weis led the charge that contained the Trojan attack. Defensive backs Greg Henry and Mike Hunter turned in outstanding performances in the secondary, limited Trojan quarterback Aaron Johnson to 2 completions in 14 attempts for 15 yards. The front three with "--~~ ... trArc: Chin Camev and Tim Marklay c~mtinually put pressure on Johnson, forcing hun ·to hurry his passes. · The Trojans also played tough defense in the second half led by defensive lineman Kevin Mescher and defensive back Jesse Olden. Troy shut down the Moeller running game tor a time and continually frustrated Schaffner. Specials teams played an important role in the game. Moeller had a chance to break the game open in the third quarter when Ray Hilvert returned a punt 85 yards for a score. The play was called back, however, and the penalty gave the Trojans new life. Terry King and Brian Clark performed well in covering kicks for the Crusaders frustrating the Troy retummen. Moeller put the game away with less than 2 minutes to go in the game when Schaffner hit Hilvert with a 36 yard touchdown pass. Schaff. ner was head to only 6 completions in 15 attempts but came up with big plays when the Crusaders needed them. Hal Pisciotta's extra point accounted for the final point in the 21-10 verdict.

¡THE CRUSADJ;R

'' RETURN TO GLORY!!! '' The sky was gray, the wind was howling, and the rain was falling at Ohio State Stadium in Columbus Sunday, but for ihe Moeller Crusaders it was a perfectly beautiful day. The Crusaders defeated the Canton McKinley Bulldogs 35-11 on the wet turf to capture their seventh state championship in the last eleven years. The victory was a total team effort as the Moeller offense piled up 320 total yards compared to McKinley's 193. The offense scored on three plays of 55 yards or better and the Moeller defense forced 5 turnovers, one of which was run back for a touchdown. Even your's truly contributed a tackle late in the game. The Crusaders wasted no time in jumping to a quick 7-0 lead. Two Tony Jackson carries and 50 seconds were all it took for the senior tailback to put Moeller in front. Jackson took a pitch and went up the right sideline for 77 yards and the score. The run was only two yards less than the championship game record set in 1974. HaJ Pisciotta's successful extra point put the Cmsaders up 7-0. The Bulldogs battled right back however. Led by the running of tailback Jeff Richardson and the passing of quarterback Brian Chaney, McKinley drove as far as the ¡ Moeller 30. From there Mark Smith drilled a 4 7 yard field goal with a stiff 20 per mile wind to cut the lead to 7-3. After forcing a Ray Hilvert punt on the next series, McKinley safety Chris Clax fumbled the kick and Moeller defensive back Terry King fell on it at the Bulldog 34. A few plays later Jackson, who gained 159 yards on 18 carries, dove over the right side for a 3 yard touchdown and a 14-3 Crusader first quarter lead. Once again the Bulldogs battled back. Led by linebacker Percy Snow, the McKinley defense began to stifle the Moeller attack. Chaney and Richardson, who gained 65 yards on 16 carries, led the Bulldogs twice deep into Moeller territory. Canton seemed to cut the lead to 14-10 on a pass from Chaney to wingback Jerome Perriri, but the play was called back on a clipping penalty. Smith then missed a field goal attempt into the wind and later missed another in the quarter. Linebacker Chip Carney and nose tackle Tony Dawson were key performers in stopping the Canton drive. With 24 seconds to go in the half, quarterback Scott Schaffner hit tight end Tom Bratten with a state

WE HAVE ARRIVED

championship game record 60 yard touchdown pass. Schaffner only threw 7 passes in the game, completing 4 for 102 yards and the touchdown. The catch was Bratten's only one also, but this was the play that broke th" P .. 1ldoi!S back. It gave Moeller a 21-3 halftime advantage and the momentum as the second half began. Moeller wasted little time in pushing the advantage to 28-3 early in the second half as Shawn Francisco, who gained 82 yards on 8 carries galloped 55 yards for the score. Hal Pisciotta's point after gave Moeller a 25 point lead early in the third period. The offense put on a perfect display of running football as the offensive line led by Trevor Ryals and Eric Bauman controlled the line of scrimmage. Schaffner threw only 7 passes and all time leading Moeller receiver Ray Hilvert was shut out, but the line and running game took up the slack. The defense, meanwhiJt solved the Bulldog attack in the second half and Canton could not mount a serious threat until after the second team came in. Dawson, Todd Neiert, and Mike Sturgis continually sacked Chaney and shut down Snow and Clax, who had run for over 800 and 700 yards respectively coming into the gume. Defensive backs Greg Henry, Mike Hunter, Vada Murray, and Brian Williams contained Chaney, who completed only 6 of 16 passes for 97 yards with one touchdown and one interception. The McKinley running game could only generate 96 yards on 3~ carries, most of it coming from Richardson in the first half. Tackle Steve Weis put the game away when he scooped up a fumble- by Chaney and rambled 47 yards for the score. The touchdown pushed Moeller's lead to 35-3. The Bulldogs were able to close the gap to 35-11 on a 14 yard pass from Chaney to Juan Taylor and subsequent two point pass to Taylor against the Moeller second team. Defensive back Terry King killed the Pups' last chance with an interception off a pass that was tipped by defensive back Eric Hounchell. Said Moeller defensive coordinatior Jim Lippincott of his game plan, "We were able to narrow their offense down to one play that could hurt us . tailback trap. When we' stopped that in the second half, we knew they weren't going to go anywhere." Many of the Moeller players were impressed with their McKinley adversaries. Said senior defensive back

Greg Henry, "Percy Snow was great. He played super both ways. He ran hard and made ahnost every tackle on defense. He was tough." Also Jerome Perrin was impressive, making 4 sacks at linebacker and catching 3 passes for 50 yards on offense. These efforts were not enough as Moeller dominated on both sides of the ball. The victory returned the state championship to Moeller for the first time since 1982.

Said senior Rick Eck, "We were freshman when we last won the state so we didn't really know what it meant. Now we do and it feels great. Especially $lee no one thought we could do it." Echoed fellow senior Jim Knepler, "Words can't exnrPs." how good this feels. You just have to experience it." After Sunday Moeller had experienced it. And how sweet it was. by Kevin Braig

SENfORS

''12TH MAN'' I don't mean to take ¡ away from our fine varsity football squad, but, Moeller fans, congratulate yourselves for your victory over Princeton. Moeller fans, you were the reason that Moeller had a 17-0 halftime lead. You were the reason that our defense shut down Princeton's running game. You were the reason¡ that Moeller stunned and silenced our critics. At the pep l'ally the Friday before the game, Head Coach Klonne told the student body that we were the 12th man, and that we would provide the difference. If I recall correctly, Prineeton 's side of the field was relatively quiet through the first half. It was not until Princeton had scored that their fans began to come alive. But, by then, both sides had begun to get enthused, and both sides were really

rocking! That is the way that all high school football games should be played, with both teams pumped up, and both teams' fans making some real noise for their team. But my point here is not that the victory doen't belong to the football team, but to both the football team and its fans. The fans were more than partially responsible for the victory because they got their team psyched up, pumped up. and ready. During the week before, at the rally, and then finally at the game, the 12th man showed its support and enthusiasm. So, take a bow Moeller fans, for, as Coach Klonne said at the rally before the Troy game, you were not only the 12th man, but "the 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th man. And you did a helluva job!" by Tom Bosco
