See story elsewhere on other Warriors named and complete conference information Recognition Sight The Warriors held their annual school recognition night last night (Tuesday) for the varsity, junior varsity and freshmen teams The most outstanding receiver trophy went to Jon Owens Dave Wollman was awarded the outstanding linesman trophy and the captain's award, a gold star for his letter jacket, for leadership and good mental attitude The awarding of the outstanding back trophy was a tough decision Coach Hal Traviolia said he had "two backs that he wouldn't trade - ' and that together they made 2,500 yards of the team's total of 2.900 The two players were so close, in fact, that coach Traviolia could have flipped a coin, but he finallynamed Mark Smith as the recipient of award Due to a vote by the letterman's club, the most valuable player will not be announced in any sport until the big ail-sports recognition night next spring Adding a bit of humor to the recognition was the lineman's dream award, which went to John Fisher The award was for his big interception during a game and his "decisiveness" after he caught it The award was the movie film of his return Freshmen Indefeated The freshmen were undefeated this year with a 7-0 record, they've had only one loss in the last two years The squad outscored its opponents 125-48. and was coached by George

The team realized early it was a "marked squad ” Coach Traviolia said, "the fact that we

were able to do so remarkably well stems from the desire of these young men ” Wawasee played and thought as a team all season. There were no individuals The team’s feeling, according to Traviolia was "We win .

CISCO CATCH — Elsie Bontrager and Russell Homan of Milford are shown above with Cisco which they caught last week. Many persons claim Cisco does not exist in this area. Miss Bontrager and Homan offer their catch as evidence that they do exist. The pair netted 33 of the fish and are holding the largest ones which came from Waubee Lake. Others were caught in Lawrence Lake. Homan explained the white fish (Webster describes it as herring of the Great Lakes area) won't bite on a book, unless a fish eye is used, so the deep water fish is netted. The netting season is November 1 to December 31.
