Last-second error costs Panthers game

fThe Old Timer

The long trip down US3I or SR2S, to Rochester, has almost always been a nemesis for North Wood, and the 1985 trip was no different, as a sleeping Zebra offense awakened to score on three of five Panther turnovers, and upset North Wood, 28-21, for Friday’s Northern Lakes Conference win. The fourth turnover proved to be the most costly for the Panthers. North Wood, on a super Ken Helmuth interception, took possession on their own 27, with just 29 seconds remaining in the game, and the score tied at 21. The play called for a back to go wide Ih the flat, then cut upfield. Coach Jim Andrews, reporting to the Captain's Club on Sunday morning, stated, “It worked against Bishop Luers In the play-offs last year, but I just made a mistake in calling It In this Instate.”

The pass was picked off by linebacker Brian Green, who rambled behind a wall of blockers, untouched, into the end zone for the win. “They came to play”, analyzed Andrews. “They were hungrier than we were, and completely shut down our dive play and the run. They controlled the ball and did the things they had to do. By the time our kids realized they were In a ball game, Rochester had built their con'.fidence, and It was too late.” North Wood was forced to play catch-up ball all evening, and, after tying the score, could never take control of the contest.

Managers are vital to program

The Old Timer Who assiciated with a football program gets yelled at the most? There are persons who have to keep all the equipment in top condition at all times. And, they make sure when the bus rolls, that each player has his equipment, that all medical supplies are loaded, and that water buckets and bottles are aboard.

They will assist with taping before and-or during a game. If there Is an injury during a game, they will assist the doctor on call, by getting ice, tape, or, 11; needed, a stretcher. You must admit that this job Is an Important one. The function of managers is to keep the team going--whether by fixing equipment, helping with jnjured players, or running water during a timeout.

Panther managers are Nathan Ross, senior; Jeff Bollman, senior; Duane Miller and Randy Eash, sophomores ( who work with the JV and assist with the varsity). They share their thoughts about being a Panther manager. From Ross, "For me, it’s a privilege to serve the football program any way I can. We get to share in the highs and lows of the seasonfor everyone pulls together as a unit.” Jeff reports, "Since we have a great tradition of football at North Wood, I want to do what 1 can in my part of the program. I especially enjoy the excitement of last year, and am hoping for the same and more this season.” Randy states, “Well, it’s being a part of the team. It’s the great tradition of North Wood, and the hopes of better achievements this season.” Duane remarked, "It’s a lot of fun, being part of the team.
