As coach Rick Bohne enters his 13th year as coach, he's hoping for a lucky season . . The Crusaders ended a good season last year with an ll-1 record and a first-place finish in the Greater Catholic League. Is an encore in store this year? While Bohne said he hates to use the cliche, he's "gu~Jrdedly optimistic" about the upcoming 1 season. It could be a great year or the team could â&#x20AC;˘ struggle, depending on how the inexperienced players perform, he said. Moeller lost five seniors, including two starters, Bohne said. One graduate, Neil Lykins, captured the individual Division I state championship last year. Another loss was Chris Larbes, an all-city, all-league player last year. Returnees include senior starters Scott Gelhot, Scott Sweeney and junior starter Nick Wunder. Other returning players include senior Rob Ward and junior Jeff Silber. Bohne said the three returning starters serve as anchors and leaders for the rest of the team. The fourth and fifth players need to build up their consistency if the team wants to compete as in past years, he said. Junior varsity players from last year who will compete for varsity playing time include seniors Jackson Garn and Bob Moeller, junior Dan DeBrunner and sophomore Steve Wallace. Moeller puts a lot of weight on league matches against rivals St. Xavier, Elder and LaSalle, . Bohne said, leading to the GCL tourneyJ;.<>-<j-.
