......................... CROSS COUNTRY REVIEW by Keith Schutter The Moeller Cross Country has just finished a very successful year. This Cross Country team, led by co-captains Jeff Schutter and Phil Helgeson, was one of the better, if not the beSt, in Moeller's history. The J.V., at times led by either Mark Luehr· mann or Larry Behan, along with the freshmen and Mark Momper, had a very fine season also. This year's freshmen were coached by Scott Kuhr and Tim Huitger, who did fine jobs in coaching the young runners.

The same day, the J.V., led by Mark Luehrmann and Ed Biddleman, came in second out of five teams at Oak Hills. . St. Xavier handed the Crusaders their first loss in a dual meet competiton in a close race that ended 24-31, in favor of St. X. The J.V. team lost an even closer race, 27-29.

The GCL meet boosted the morale of-the team after a terrible performance the Saturday before. The varsity, led by its co-captains, came in fifth in the League. The junior varsity, led by Larry Behan, came in fourth. Mark Momper, who came in second in the GCL, led the freshmen to a third place in the League. Mark's time was the best ever by a Moeller freshman. The sectionals, which were the last meet for many runners, proved to be an excellent race. The co-captains qualified for the districts. Tim Baltes, Steve Gavin, Jeff Koehne, John Naayers and Mark Luehrmann rounded out the varsity team which finished eighth out of a field of seventeen. In the district meet, Phil Helgeson and Jeff Schutter both ran a very respectable race as they took 86 and 116 respectively, against some of the best runners around.

The freshmen showed their hard work in their first meet, as they knocked three minutes, thirty-seven seconds off the previous freshmen time at the Rog r Bacon Invitational. Mark Momper, Jim 0' Leary, and Nick Fago led the freshmen in this fine performance.

The Mt. Healthy meet was a disappointment to the Crusaders, even though the over-all time was the second best in Moeller's history.

• •••• November 22, 1978 ; __j

Junior Keith Schutter ran 10:49, which placed him thirtieth over-all. Jeff Schutter ran an out· standing race after coming back from a sickness.

The Crusaders were hampered by injuries throughout the year. After a bad performance at Colerain, they came back to win the varsity and J.V. race against Milford, Loveland, and Glen Este. Jeff Schutter and Phil Helgeson took second and third in the race. John Naayers, Keith Schutter, and Jeff Koehne took fifth, sixth, and seventh to help out in the win. Junior Steve Gavin and sophomore Dave Wentz finished almost in a tie for first place in the J.V. race.

In the same meet, the varsity knocked four minutes, eleven seconds off their time from last year's runners. Jeff Schutter, !'hil_ Helgeson, and Keith Schutter all turned in fine performances. Tim Baltes also helped out the Crusader effort with a good run.

Moeller's Athletic Director, Mr. Gerry l'aust, announces that the Fighting Crusaders will host Brother Rice High School of Binningham, Michigan next September 21, at Nippert Stadium. Brother Rice has won 24 straight games and is a contender for that State's championship title this year. Moeller might also include Massillon as a season opener next year if negotiations, now underway, can be worked out.

The All-Star Meet, which was the last meet of the year for the few runners left, proved to be a fine race. Seniors Jeff Schutter and Phi I Helgeson ran an exceptional race. Jeff finiShed seventeenth. Keith Schutter ran in the junior race as the GCL junior division team won their race. Larry Behan, who ran in the sophomore race (which included the top sophomore runners in Southwestern Ohio) finished in the top 23 in his first All-Star Meet. The Cross Country team finished their year with a 4-1 dual meet record, and a very fine showing in the GCL league meet, the sectionals and the districts, as well as the All-Star competition.

by Don Knight On a frosty morning, breath steaming from under lines of shakos and feathered bush hats, hundreds of high school musicians from the ·tri-state area competed in Cincinnati's first Music Bowl at Nippert Stadium.

Moeller's Marching Crusaders, in their first contest performance, and after many hours of practices and after-school rehearsals, took to the field. For their performance the band was rated "Excellent" on their showing. They scored 75 out of a possible 100 points. Preliminary competition began at 9:30 AM and continued until 3:00 PM. Finalists were determined in both a Division A and a Division AA. The distinction was based on the number of musicians in a band. Trophies were awarded for first, second and third places. These, plus four other bands, were selected to be part of competition for the finals .

. ··+s<~'""-Milford High School emerged the winner in this competition, ·and thus they won the right to represent the State in the Orange Bowl parade.

Moeller's student body can take pride _in setting mother school record in the year's Fall Festival. The students brought in $39,320 in their ticket sales this year. T11e senior division led the school with 259.2%. The juniors brought in 231.3% of their goal; the sophomores turned in 216.3%; and the freshmen. brought in 191.7% of their goal.

Mr. Jack Conway, Moeller's band director, was very pleased with the band's performance. He pointed out that even though this was the first contest the band had entered, they managed to excel over many more experienced bands in the competition. On October 22 the Marching Crusaders again entered the field of competition. This time they travelled to Dayton for the ChaminadeJulienne Marching Band contest. The contest

was held at Dayton's Convention Center. The band pulled down another "Excellent" rating in the Dayton competition. The Crusaders were one of only five bands to be so designated by the judges. The band is presently in the midst of a paper drive and would appreciate student. support in thiseffort-:"Contact a member ot" the band or Mr. Conway if you would like to help the band. Someone will come to pick up your papers each month. There is no cost for this service, so let us haul your papers away to help the band.

=-=~ Father Krusling, our principal, has dane a tremendous jab auer the past eight years in making Moeller High Schoal··tops in Academics. Athletics, religious and mara/ train· ing. Through Father's guidance Moeller's excellent reputation has grown nationally and is considered one of the premium Catholic boys high schools in the country. We want to thank Father for his great guidance and hope that he remains as principal for many years to came.

HISTORY OF FOOTBALL AT MOELLER HIGH SCHOO!-

Moeller is going into its sixteenth year of Varsity Football with 140 wins. 16 losses and 2 ties. Playing in the tough Greater Cincinnati League and having played outstanding outside the league opponents. this makes the record eveh inore spe.ctacular. This year's team will have 30 returning lettermen from last year's team. Two of these boys were starters on a team ·that was 12-0-0. There are many gaps to fill and a lot of boys must come through, and if this is done, Moeller will have another fine football team. This year's team will be out to maintain the great tradition of winning football at Moeller. Moeller is also very proud of its academic achievements in the past 1 5 · years, as well as its well rounded athletic programs, offering nine other varsity sports.

In basketball the GCL has produce<! such coaches as John Dromo, who moved on from success at St Xavier to · still more success as head coach at the Univ~rsity of Louisville; Bill Cady, a St. X product who coaches at La-

Salle and, more recen:tly, Paul (Hans) Frey of Elder, who has made his Alma Mater a powerhouse ·in the state: · Cady, Berning and Faust are also their school's athletic directors but the real veter. ans in that position are the Rev. Alan Heet, now in his 28th year as Roger Bacon's athletic boss, and the Rev. . Edward Rudemiller ~ "Fa-ther Rudy" - who captained the Elder football team in 1949 and has been directing the school's athletic program the past 16 years. In/the early years· the solidifying force ih the Greater Cincinnati League was the legendary Brother William J. Schroeder of Purcell.

Meticulous, considerate, mild-mannered and efficient, the late Brother Bill practically personified Purcell. Levelheaded and even-tempered. he was the principal link between the Catholic league and the other schools in the area, as competition g'rew steadily between them. He served as secretary of the league for many years and came to be regarded as the source of information about the league. . Moeller's recent domination in football is not unusual ·for the GCL. Such powerhouses tend to develop and then wane - in cycles in the league. First, Purcell ruled the GCL grid roost from the mid-1940s through the

late -1950s, when Roger Bacon's Spartans climbed to the top and held sway for 10 years - until Moeller came along. To an extent, these cycles have been' fed by external factors as much as by anything intrinsic at the schools. Population_ shifts, the advent of the two new boys schools (and districting changes that went with them) have probably contributed as much as coaching skills. Originally the Greater Cincinnati -League, when it was fotined in 1928, consisted of the four Catholic boys schools in the city at the time: St. Xavier, Elder, Roger Bacon and Puryell. . That year was the first for

Faust Calls Winner For Moeller: A 71-Yard Draw Play For·6:.! '· j<'

BEREA, Ohio-All those folks who Utfnk Moeller High School football coach Gerry Faust Is not a capable strategist have another thing com~ I rig.

'' After three quarters which saw I Moeller In control all the way, St. Ed I 'q'tlarterl;lack Dennis Lavelle unle~ashed a barrage of passes which quickly closed the gap to 10-8 with 7:S4 to play. · I With the Crusaders racing third and eight at their own 29-yard line,\ Faust called tline. When play resumed Rlck Neal, who rushed 20 ·times for 163 yards In the game, took oV on a draw play and went 71 yards for a touchdown to give Moeller a commanding 17-8 lead. ··"Yeah, I called· that play," Faust beamed.

The Crusaders then moved 26 yards on six plays to St. Edward's 33, but failed again when Larry Gates' pass to Tony' Hunter was broken up on fourth down. ONCE AGAIN, Moeller's defense held the Big Green Machine; and Hunter returned Lavelle's punt 36 yards near the end of the first period to Ed's 42 .. This time, Moeller was not to be denied. Twice, penalties set the Crnsa.rlers up with t.hird-and-loni situations, but each time Moeller r came up with a first down. With third and six at St. Ed's 38 after an Illegal motion penalty, Oates gained five yards up the middle on a .. broken play then Joe Lima hit right tackle for four and a first on lourth and one.

THREE PLAYS later, Eric Ellington trotted around right end for the last five yards, and Wayne Morri~ son's extra point made it 7-0 with 9:03 remaining In the half. Moeller failed to cash in on another opportunity, however. Mike Suter intercepted Lavelle at his own 35 mid~ay through the second period, then Moeller moved 43 yards on elght plays, including 18-and-14 yard runs by Neal and Dave Thurklll. But another motion penalty stopped the Crusaders at Ed's 22, and Morrison's 38-yard field goal attempt was wide left.

Bijt Morrison did get a chance to boot one through late in the third quarter. Gruber intercepted a Lavelle pass to set Moeller up at the St. Ed 29 midway through the quarter: This time a penalty helped Moeller, as Ed was called for encroachment on fourth and four at the 23. Moeller moved to the two, but was callec:Uor delay of game on second down a,nq had to settle for Morrison'S 24-yard field goal and made it 10-0 with 3:52 left in the period.

Moeller Too Much For Dallas BY TERENCE MOORE Enquirer Sports Reporter

Nippert Stadium was filled with fanfare Friday nigt,t. Ohio Gov. Ja:nes Rhodes. A nationally-acclaimed parachute act. And then there -..as a high school football game which ended Cincinnati Moeller 37, Dallas Jesuit 7 The battle matched two teams highly-acclaimed in their respective states. And if ':.he contest Indeed indl-· cates the quality of football between the states of Ohio and Texas, Moeller won the war and quarterback Larry Gates grabbed most of the battles (with a little help from. receiver Tony Hunter). GATES, A talented 6-foot-5. 185 pounder, and Gatef, who Is 6-6 and 213 pounds, hooked up time and again. The two were the key culprits on ·the drive Gates thought broke the Texans' ba•:k. It came late In the

seeond quarter with Moeller leading, 14-'1. "There were 58 seconds left and we went into o~r two-minute dnll," he said in the aftermath of Moeller celebrations. "Tony went out and caagr.t a couple of key pas.oes e.nd that diG it." Well, not exactly. The Moeller d::-ive started on the Crusa•jer 37ya~d line and ended 63 yards la~r in the Jew1t enc zone. Gates fired a 27-yard pass to running back Eric Ellington. . That. put the score at 20·7 (21-7 with ':.t.e extra point). And it sent Jesuit tack to Its locker room trymg to figure out hov to stop the Yankee oHen~e and defense. Moeller finished the flr:st half with 1'1:: total yards, 49 consisting of Hunter catches, while Jesuit. ended with a.n aggregate 115. CRUSADER COACH Gerry Faust wa s hI> usual garrulous se 1! afterwards. His Moeller team manhandled a Jesuit unit which seemed disciples of Woody Hayes' old school

of offense: nm, run, and run some more. "They're a really good team, just a great team. But I'n just plea~ed that our kid& could rebound from last w-eek (a 13-12 loss at Princeton)," Faust said. "I think we proved today that Ohio football is pretty good, huh?" Yes, they C!id. Starting wtth tne opening series. Dalla.s coach Gary Pasqua. who • :;aid he would throw a few surprises into the game, did so from Minute One. Jesuit booted an onslde kick. The Crusacers marched 55 yards ror six points on runs by Rick Neal. Moeller scored acaln when G-at,!"s hit Hunter In the corner for. a. Z7y~rd score .. That even~;,ually pushed the lead to.l4-0.

Ken ~!.abler (•h" •.wo-minute, er, 58se::onc drill) and that switched the mome::1tum to Moeller for the rest of the game. Mo::nents into the third quarter, kicker Way:1e Morrison got the Crusaders more points, a :schoolrecord 49- yard fletd goal. Jesuit then st.owed thoughts of ending the Moeller massacre by march.ng from Its own 2a to the Moeller seven. · All :hat did was give the Crusader defense more "ime to sh:ne, beca.:Jse Lucido was nailed on a fourth and long sltuatwn ba(!k en the Moeller22-yard l:ne. Moeller added 13 more points on an 88-:;.ard drive and defensi•e end Jerry Kyne's sprint to the end zone on a fu::nble recovery.

BUT JESUIT got Its veer offense moving In the second half. Quarterback Mike Lucido hit Keith Forster coming out of the backfield wi~h a 27-yard pass. Moments later, Gates d!d h:s imitation ot Oakland Raider QB

Darell Jenkins . . I've said it plenty of times before, and I think it is importan(enough to bear repeating again. , "There is no high school football, like , Texas, high school football." And you can .·quote me on that. 1 · So what if the self-proclaimed (and the . now defunct "Prep . Magazine" proclaimed) " national high school champions at Cincinnati ~Moeller thrashed the Jesuit Rangers, 37-7, last Friday night. What does that prove? . That a large powerhouse from ~he East can defeat a small Texas· private school? .What an accomplishment. Sure Jesuit is powerful, but only in their ·own league. I imagine that if Jesuit played Highland Park, Odessa Permian or Teniple . they'd be beaten just as bad or worse than · what Moeller was able to beat them by. Jesuit was not the best Texas representative, despite what the Moeller coach . . tricked himself into believing. · Moeller had Jesuit outclassed by a long shot. The Cincinnati squad suits up ~ peo. pie for home games. They· have ~ coaches .and ~ managers to keep. things running smoothly, while Jesuit has to get by with just three coaches, and a pair of managers to keep their affairs together. Moeller had to cut !)(!' piayers the first

;~t ~~:t:t<1:n~ile Jesuit had to recruit a. ,: · from the Rang:ff 9a.ad to help 'them round out the sauad. ·

we were gomg to send Jesu"it as our Texas rep, why didn't we just send the Presidio· bunch? They both had the same chances · of beating this high power. But as good as this Moeller team is, I don't think they could stay in the same stad-· him with a great Texas club. Maybe I'm just.' a "braggin' Te:?Can, but its hard to imagine a· team that could ,beat the Tyler John Tyler state champions ·of 1973 with Earl Campbell. It's also hard to imagine· a team that could ·have .beaten Plano's club last· vear. The greatest thing about these Texas teams though, is the fact ~hat the players come from the surrounding area in which · they live and go to school. The Moeller kids come from all over the state to play for them, not just one certain area. If the Texas all-stars were to play the Ohio all-stars I'm afraid I'd put my money on · the Texas squad. 'I've always wished that the· state cham- , pions of each state would play for a national title, not one that was just voted to a team by a group so-called experts, out one that had. to be earned through a tournament in some way. That would be 'the real test to see where· Texas high school football is today. Until last week, the Moeller team had won 32 straight games, but were finally defeated, 13-12, by Princeton Private School. Their coach said the players weren't quite ready for this game,· because they were looking ahead to the Jesuit team. Vl~ tQ\<J I'm sure if Moeller offered the deluxe •trip they gave Jesuit io an Odessa team, or Highland Park they probably would have accepted and shown Moeller what high school football is all about. But all the Moeller coach really wanted was to say that' he and hj~ boys had defeated a Texas school, despite the weakness of their program. I'm pretty sure that evtm this year's Ir-j ving Tiger group could give the Cincinnati school a contest they would not soon forget. It would teach them a les.son. u
