Faust rem.ains dedicated man

Gerry Faust hasn't changed much over the years. That boyish face of his looks much the same as it did when he played football at the University of Dayton 20 years ago. The raspy voice still suggests that he has an eternal case of laryngitis, and his enthusiasm is still reflected in a rapid-fire speech delivery as he shifts his weight constantly from one foot to another while talking. He was always one to make the most of an opportaJdtJ. In eollege. despite a wounded knee that foreed him to walk Dke Chester of the old "Gunsmoke" TV show, Faust did the bulk of the quarterbacking for a Flyer team that eompUed a 8-3-1 record under Coaeh Bud Kerr. In 1960, when he was offered the job of coaching the football team at Cincinnati Moeller High School, Faust made the most of that opportunity as well. Today his team is the reigning Ohio Class AAA champion. In 13 varsitJ seasons, Faust's Moeller teams have eompUed an astonishing 118-18-2 record. Five times tbe Crusaders have been unbeaten in the regular seasoa. How has aiJ..of this been possible? Faust attributes it to good material, organization and dedication. And when he talks about a dedicated athlete, he isn't referring to a young man who merely has perfect attend· ance at practice.

Success doesn't mean popularity Yesterday, as guest speaker at The Agonis Club's weekly luncheon at Suttmiller's, the 40-year-old Cha.minade High School product outlined the program which has made winning football a tradition at Moeller. "One advantage we have Is that we're an all-boy high school," he said. "Our players don't have so many distractions. When school Is out, they go straight to practice. There's really nothing else to do except get a bottle of pop ••• and we don't allow that in the locker room." Faust has 11 (yes, that's right, 11) assistant foot· 'baJ1 eoaehes at Moeller. The freshman and sophomore teams have three eaeh, and five serve as varsitr assistuta. Oae of them is former Daytonian PhU Gigllotta. WbUe Moeller's student body of approximately 900 is only half that of eross-town rival Elder, finding players has 110t been a problem. "We had 140 out for the freshman team this year," Faust said. "We kept 75. Once you get a program rolling, you ean see what happens. We carried 61 on our sophomore squad and 66 on the v.arsity." · Faust is envied and even disliked by many of the Cincinnati high school coaches because of Moeller's athletie success. ~me of the guys in the dJstriet don't llke me llecause a lot of kids go to publle grade schools in their cllistricts and then eome to high school at Moeller," he admitted. "And I don't dJseourage them from coming. l'lley're erazy if they don't eome to Moeller. "We get two phone calls a week from parents w~o want to know how to enroll their kids at our school. We're a Catholic school, but we have about SO non-catholics in school. we· had about 15 non-Catholics on the football team."

Short hair part of regimen How does Moeller achieve its gridiron suecess? Faust thinks there are a lot of reasons. He thinks the school's year-round fitness program is a big factor. He is of the opinion that discipline is another. "t think discipline is essential In athletics," he said. "We're very tough on our kids. Yet we believe we're fair. You ean't just tear a kid down. You, ean ehew him out, but five minutes later you have to pat him on the back if he does something well." Like Sparky Anderson, Faust insists that his players keep their hair at a reasonable length during the seasoa. What's his idea of a reasonable length? "Like mine," he said. (Gel'l')''s hair length would be aeeeptahle in one of the milltary academies.) Yesterday, just a month after the eonelusion of the football season, Moeller's athletes resumed their fitness program. Supervised by students, the program is open to all students - athletes and otherwise. It ineludes drills to improve agillty, fiexibilitJ, strength anclspeed. One of Faust'$ latest gimmicks is ballet lessons one night a week from January to April. "You eannot belleve how ballet lessons help a kid's agility," he said. "We tad a basketball player who couldn't dunk the ball. But after two ballet lessons, he could."

There's something about Christmas that puts a great many •.hings in perspective. "Peace on Earth, Good Will to Man." ··siknt Night ... :· •:t al. arc explicit messages for all who desire to listen c;!reful'_\' and even more importantly. put the words into practice throughout our daily lives. Memories of the midwinter season of happiness and merriment shall live forever on the mind of this reporter. particularly in the area of high school atbletics. The month of December is a most important period for colleges and/or universities as they screen available prep pigskin :alent a11d make their final selections. Likewise. for the h~gh school gridiron mentors. It is a vitally important time. in their effort~ on bel1alf of individual players who will be graduating in June of '76. Financial aid. scholarships. etc .. are additional rewards which a secondary school coach can savor after he has played his kc\' role in helping one of his men attain an opportunity t~ begin ;•. college education. How do t!,·:se young men differ from the average. "run of the mill .. graduate o•· our nation's high schools? While pondering this oue'lion. ''~le . to mi~d~!!~~ . . .. the tune 1 first · (he the son of Mr. H.E. "Sonny Burn<:. 'vice President and General Manager of the Cincinnati-based Rounsaville organization) it was obvious that l :·''as not an average high school student. Out-going. person:;,ble. pcised and confident. Mike personifies how "young peop!e should act and behave.'' The good looking 200 plus poUivJer for Head Football Coach. Gerry Faust. is only one of man; members of the lid:hampionship team who has and/ or "i'' benefit from ath~participation and eventual grant in aid. F 'Jr:hermore. tht! numerous grads of Moeller who also earned (in. the opinion of Coach Faust) football scholarships after ha' ing completed :heir careers at the Montgomery Road school de no· ~epresent deviation from the norm. The norm for Gerry faust and hi~ coaching staff and Moeller High School, has long been athletic scholarships. Some 151 young men have been awarded fiuam:ial-assistance for their prowess on the athletic '"tlelds of strife" during the first dozen years the school has been in operation. "Brothers's": "we are very very close." Mike told NIP. "The whole team feels a special closeness: there's a lot of pride and willingness to sacrifice." "Our coaches are more than just coaches": ''there is a respect between and among the players for the coaches ... as well as there is between and among the . coaches fc>r the players." All one has to do is talk with any player who has graduated after" wearing the blue and gold of the Fighting Crusaders" to re-affirm that the comradera exists. ;\like Burns is one of four co-captains who served the '75 team. It has been part of the Moeller tradition that the letter winners of the previous year elect two from the offensive unit and a like 111J!llber from the defensive corps. The Moeller football bro~ cllurc talked about Mike. John Crone. Pat White and Rob \\''inhlin: "Once again, we arc fortunate to have four out~t.;ndll1g lc:adcrs chosen hy tht:ir teammates to carry on the leaders-hip necessary to hav.: winning football." Senior. Mike ·.It

Bums, is not the average, "run of the mill" student who will receive their "sheepskins" in June. Moeller High School, is obviously not the average. "run of the mill" high school which strives for educational as well as athletic quality. Mike probably will never forget his three year stint under Gerry Faust at Moelle~. Playing in the "shadow" of all-stater Jeff Curry during the 1974 campaign only served to prime the former linebacker for the season just completed. And what a season it was. Another Greater Cincinnati League crown (achieved after having won their 32nd consecutive regular season game, over Elder. 17-0 at Riverfront Stadium in the season finale); a top-rung position accorded the Fighting Crusaders by area coaches in the Metro Cincinnati Poll and the third post-sea~on playoff berth in the Ohio High School Athletic Association's Harbin Computerized Rating System. A "champion?" In every sense of the world. To pinpoint a key player in the 1975 exploits would be an impossibility. The poised. Junior Quarterback. Tim Koegel: Jim Pierce and Dave Condeni, two of the teams premier receivers; running backs Bob Massong and Steve Givens to cite only a few. Then, there was Mike Burns. The "power back" or "up-back" in the "!" formation or the middle-back ... in the old Tor "Tull house" backfield. That was Mike Burns. His 5.0 plus average per carry tells a pretty conclusive story ... had he been the #I running back. He wasn't. As a matter of fact. Mike notched two-scoreoints on a relatively few carries per contest. His forte: lockin . The big "power" man who opened the holes, was an' nominee for his abilities to fake and draw attention away from the "carrier of the leather." "I always took pride in my blocking: don't let your man out-think you, watch his legs ... not his body." Injuries have almost cut short a good football career for Mike Burns. In addition to having been rendered unconscious on several occasions during this past season. Mike has undergone surgery for cartilage damage to the knees. Participation in spring track is on the horizon for Mike Burns and then hopefully a shot at the Metro-Cincinnati East- West High School All Star Football Game in June. "Jeff Curry said it was one of his greatest thrills ... he really enjoyed playing in the East- West game ... now I want to do the same." A concentrated weight program occupies most of his athletic time now, but "there's still time for girls ... and just relaxing. You're going to have to be in great shape for college football." Mike told this reporter ... "and that's one of my goals during the winter months. I want to lift more than ever before." Moeller's Fighting Crusaders have another Burns on their roster ... he's Dave Burns. Mike's younger brother. "He · doesn't really know, at this time. if he really wants to play football," said Mike; "I've told him that to be a part of the Moeller fO<~tball program requires a lot of p~al s~a · e and dedicatiOn. He can be a good player." A 185; n 6-1. ave. listed as a Tight End this past season. can _well ve right into the starting line-up ... come '76. And. if he docs ... you can bet the influence 11is older brother has had upon him ... will have been one of tile key factors. Mike Burns wiH be a familiar face around the tracks this spring. throwing the discu~ and shot. He'll make that East-V•/est High School All Star Game. come June and then proceed on to the school of his choice. Excluding injuries. the name of Mike Burns will be listed among the Steve Niehaus's.

oeller, Readi g win . P st kicking contest .

·· A pair of sophomores teamed up to win the punting title while a junior kicker: got help from two seniors to capture a first in the place kicking division of the fifth annual Cincinnati Post kicking contest held yesterday at UC's Nipper Stadium. .. Ken Naber, the lanky specialist who helped Moeller to the state Class AAA football title, set a new scoring record of 840 points in taking the placekick title. His team included center

Punters were each given five kicks, the first three for distance and accuraKevin McCormick and holder Mark cy and the last two for distance alone. Dinkel. The place-kickers were awarded points· BRIAN BRUMMEIT, a chunky commensurate with the distances from sophomore from Reading High, aver- which they scored. Starting on the 10-y< · ·:ne they kicked from the left an c. • 1ght hash marks and from the center and then moved back five yards each time until they had three misses. NABER KICKED 11 goals, three of .them 40 yarders and another from 45 yards out, before he slipped on his final try.

"We went Into the year hoping one of them would take charge," says Princeton coach Pat Mancuso, who used to say, "It's unusual to have two quarterbacks, but they both do the job so we're glad to have them. "Now." he adds, "we're getting 100% out of both of them. The way it happened was a perfect the

Moeller, Elder,. LaSalle Winners By PAUL RAKEL Enquirer Contributor · Even after his team had rolled to its eighth straight victory in .the Greater Olncinilatl League Tripleheader finale by blanking Roger Bacon, 28-0, at· Riverfront Stadium Friday night, Moeller coach Gerry. Faust told his players to go around the ccmfines of the park and pick up· the scattered paper. "We had to keep our tradition going," he smiled, But what is becoming even more of a tradition is· Moeller victories. The Crusaders ·racked up 401 offensive yards and yielded just 97 in . crushing Bacon before 5820 fans. In the opener at Riverfront, LaSalle crushed st. xavier, 39-15, while Elder outlasted Purcell for a 13-0 win in the second game. , · . Roger Bacon had.only one prolonged march against Moeller, that on the opening drive of the game, but the Crusader defense stiffened and Moelier took over on downs at their ownll -y::~.rd line. ··

GCL ·Titans Clash r By DENNY DRESSMAN

Enquirer Sports Reporter Unbeaten and top-ranked Moeller, bidding for a third straight trip to the Ohio Class AAA state football playoffs, risks its 31-game ·regular-season winning streak against resurgent Elder, winner of six straight, tonight at Riverfront · Stadium. For the second year in a row the regular-season finale between these two teams will decide the Greater Cincinnati League championship as well as influence the final computerized state playoff ratings for AAA Region Four. Moeller leads Colerain by less than a point, 144.87144.12, in the next-to-last standings released Thursday. Also 9-0 and ranked second in the city, Colerain will have the additional goal of completing the first perfect season in school history when the Cardinals conclude at home Saturday night against No. 8 LaSalle, 4-4-1 overall but impressive while tying unbeaten Ket~ring Alter and. routing St. Xavier in its last two starts. /

THE LAST TEAM to beat Moeller in a non-playoff game (7-0 in 1972) and the only school other than Moeller to win a GCL football title since 1971, Elder will be. out to avenge a last-minute, 24-20 defeat in last year's game, which attracted· 18,750 fans to Riverfront Stadium. A similar crowd is expected tonight.. The Panthers, who turned their season around with a 13'-7 victory

over Fremont Ross after losing in the last minute to Lancaster and by one point to Woodward, are underdogs in most statistical categories. · But Elder has the leading rusher and scorer in senior tailback Elvis Clemons, who may be more valuable for the inspirational example he has set this season. Clemons has scored 66 points(ll touchdowns) whlle running for 746 yards in 180 carries, . . a 4.4 average. "In the past two years be's always had an injury, and he hasn't played as well when he was injured," first-year coach Ray Baehus says of Clemons. "He got banged !fP pretty good in our Woodward game this season, and came oft the field. "I .tOld him he had to realize that he was a captain this year and that a lot of people lOoked up to him. be:.. cause he was a three-year varsity player. I told him only he· could decide if he was hurt too badly to play, but 'that he should remember that he could. set a real example for the team by playing it he could. "Elvis," Bachus continues, "went back into the woodward game and the way he played made me admire him more than ever. He's kept it up all season. He's never been 100%, but he's been great." MOELLER'S LEADING rusher, Steve Givens; is symbolic of his team's success, too. Givens started the season as a flanker. and ranks third with nine catches. Since moving to running back, he has ga!ned' 524 yards in 110 carries. "We've made more changes dur- tng this season than ever in my coaching career," 12-yea.r veteran Gerry Faust explains. "We were I averaging four perso9nel or position 1 changes a week, and four weeks ago j we made s_even more changes. About half of them involve starters. ' · "Sometimes you have ~ make ' changes even when you're Winning," he continues. "We learned that a few years back when we lost to St. X · early in the season. We knew we needed to make some changes then, : but we won our first few games so ' wedidn'tchangeanything. Then we ! got beat. I "Up to this point we probably ! would have had the. same· record," · Faust analyzes. "But we wouldn't be improving every week. We've improved more over a nine-game span than any other Moeller teain. This one keeps getting better every week."

He was a sophomore third-stringer and th.e two quarterbacks ahead of him were injured. .. :~ }:le responded to the crisis by leading the ct•ders to a 21-20 victory over Fipdlay-the only· one-point gameMoeller has pla:9ed in the la$t two seasons-and went on to enjoy a sensational rookie season. It was so good, in fact, even M wondered if he could duplicate it, 'let alone improve on it, in his junior year. : "I thought about that a lOt," Tim admits. "I'd had: a pretty good sophomore year, and I waa wbnaermg if it was luck. I WDrried about it a Uttl~. I was just hoping it would turn out okay, that I could get better." ·· The 1975 regular season is complete now, and there's no doubt that Tim Koegel progressed. As a sophomore he completed 51 of 94 passes for 916 yards and 12 touchdowns. As a junior he connected on 84 of 151 attempts for 1148 yards and another 12TDs. . · . "We were looking for bigger and better things from him, and that's just what we got," q9arterback coach Phil Gigliotti says, speaking too for head coach Gerry Faust. '"Tim's been a phenomenally-consistent performer. He's come through in so many clutch, pressure situations. He has poise like no high school kid I've ever seen. He's amazing that way. . · : "Without a doubt," Gigliotti adds, "he's· the h'.st quarterback we've ever had. And we've had some real good ones." ;. ALL OF THIS is bad news for Findlay fans. TJleir Trojans meet Moeller in the semifinals of the Ohio Class AAA state playoffs Saturday at '1:30 p.m. at Dayton's Welcome Stadium, and it's a g'me Koegel has been waiting for-though not because the opponent, ironically, ls Findlay. : "Besides team goals, like winning the GCL, I wl).n~d to get back to the playoffs." he says. "I felt like something was missing when we lost last year. I wanted another chance." : Though he never thought of individual goals when the season began, Koegel broke several s~ool marks this fall. His 1148 yards are a singlesep.son high, and his 24 touchdowns and 2064 yards in two seasons represent new career marks at;Moeller. . r "As the year went on they started getting closer," he says, "and I thought more about them. ; : ; ; - - - ... ~· ~., 4 • ~ ..... ,!-!,·~·~-··' .~.-.,.~·r-.: ""·'*'i

Moeller's Tim Koegel ... improving on a great sophomore year I'm glad to have them." PERHAPS THE most impressive of Koegel's statistics 1s his interception ratio. A year ago he threw four in 94 attempts. T.his year only two Koegel passes have been picked ott in 151 opportunities. · · "I just try to throw to the receivers.'.' he explains. "A lot of my passes probably could have been intercepted, but the receiver either made a great catch or knocked the pass down before the defender could catch nt. "I've had real good protection, too," he adds. "With the job our offensive line has done, I haven't had to throw on the run very often. I've also learned when to hold onto the ball instead of forcing it. Last year !l threw some at the wrong time.'' JIM PIERCE iis Koegel's favorite target, haUling in 40 passes foc 547 yards. .,.. "He's probably better at getting open than · -. anyone else I've ever thrown to," Koegel praises. I , "He's a lot like Jim Kelly (the former Moeller star I ·i ~~00~ . ' l Koe~el has thrown to five other receivers, \ with jup.1or Bob Massong ranking second with 20 receptions. "He picks out tl:1e secondary receiver · better than any high school quarterbaek I've ever seen," Faust says. The 6-foot-4 185-pounder is more than a passer, though. Moeller'S running attack features thr~e b~cks with more than 300 yards, and Koegel s skill ll!nder center is at least partly responsi~ f ble. : "He has tremendous leadership abilities," F'au~t says. "The kids believe in him. They have confidence that the offense will move when he's on the field."

Strongmen Change Moeller Philosophy By DENNY DRESSMAN

Enquirer Sports iteporter DAYTON, Ohio-In the begin· ning the welghtltfting was just a part of the training routine Moeller's football players had to follow. But soon it became competitive, almost a sport in itself, and now it's changed Moeller's whole approach to stopping the other teall).. · When the unbeaten Crusaders take the field against undefeated Findlay in the semifinals of the Ohio Class AAA state football playoffs tonight at Welcome Stadium,· ,they'll throw the llghtest but strongest defensive unit 1n their · history at record-breaking Andy Schramm and the rest of the Trojan offense. . "We always had the feeltng we had to have those real big guys, like Steve Niehaus and Jay Ca.se, on our defensive line so people wouldn't run over us," defensive coach John Parker explains. "But a couple of years ago we moved a 185-pounder, Joe Ertel, to tackle and he amazed us; he was all over the field. That changed our thlnktng." MOELLER WILL start John Davis and Jim Gross at the defensl ve tackles tonight. Both stand a mere 5 -reet 11, Gross welghtng only 205 and Da.vts 210. But they're the top two wetghtlifters in school. "Davis can bench press 380 pounds and dead lift 560," Parker notes. "Gross is just a ha.lr behind t_lim. They're as strong, o~ stronger than bigger tackles we've had, but· they're smaller and quicker than most." Davis arid. Gross, who leads Moeller in tackles with 98, are two of seven Iron Man Club members starting on· defense. The others are end Ralph Perdrix, safety John Wllliams and linebackers Karl Woods, John Crone and Bob Crable. "To be a member of the Iron Man Club," hea:d coach Gerry Faust explains, "a kid has to have atleast 80% attendance during the weight program and enter the weightllfttng contest. Some guys won't enter the contest because they don't want to get beat real bad. It's getting better and better each year." . . . School champ Davis has taken it so seriously he's considering continuing competitive weightlifting after football.· "I'm thinking about entering a weightllfitng contest to see how I'd do," he says. "I enjoy it. I went through the four

Lakewood Fullback [., Moeller Problem ,.

By DENNY DltESSMAN En(tut~~ Sports Reporter One of the first changes 1\iike Currence made when he became head coach at Lakewood St. Edward two years. ago was switching a sophomore linebacker named Joe Portale to fullback. No one knew..qntU this season Just how smart th(t meve was. · .J'iO!t 11 6-foot-3, 215-pound senior who lo<P, arid runs like Larry Csonka, Portale (pranaiulced por-tally) trampled Ills way to the Cleveland-area scoring championshJp>th is tall with 20 touchdown.s-an even, fi.WO per game. He also rolled up 1209 ya,rds in 188 carries for a 6.4 average ln lelij;iliii:~st. Edward to lt.s ttrst unbeaten se~....... ever. ~ wanted a big kld inside;" Currence ex~lains, "so we tried Joe. He worked out reil well. He'll run a 4.9 1n the ~ any day ot the .week, and he's strong. He runs s""ai~l\ up, just Uke Csonka." t

: P'OllTALE, HOWEVER, won't be Moeller's only worry when the Crusaders f~J.ce St. Edward in the championship game of the Ohio hlgh school Class AAA state football playoffs Friday night at Akron's Rubber Bowl. He may not even be their biggest concern. ~~ou can always defense a great runnff'r1~~_:currence reminds himself. "Our quQ;rierback, Dan McHugh, has been our m~y. He's the main reason we're unClefeated. He can run; he can throw; he ca,hdQ it all. And he's smart." :\tcflugh completed 86 of 153 passes tor 1~1ards and 10 touchdowns. The yarda~1igqre would have ranked second in Ct.nclnllatl this season. He also ran 55 ti~sfor 233 yards, mostly on rollouts. • 1hree receivers caught '17 of those 86 ccle~!e:tlons-Blll Benik 30 for 399 yards,

..a.v,..avav

Chris Bova 24 for 392 and Dan McAvoy 23 for421. ST. EDWARD is a lot ltke its final opponent, Moeller. Both teams have ~ phistic~J.ted programs that replace semor classes of 30 to 35 players each year. St. Ed's only returning starters trom 19'74, tor example, are 200-pound offensive guards Danny Williams and Dennis Newman. · "They're probably our best blockers," Currence says, though 6-toot-6, 220pound Matt Mazur at tackle has cleared a few paths for Portale, too. · Tackles Brtan O'Doherty (6-3, 230) and Mike Boyle (6-3, 215) are the heart of St. Ed's defense, which allowed 110 points In 10 games. "The defense has not been publtctzed that much,'' Currence aaya. "Our two tackles have done IJ. real good job. The rest of our defensive players are good, all-around kJds, but I don't think I could single any others out." MOELLER AND St. Edward played two common opponents; Princeton and Cleveland St. Joseph, and the Eagles won more impressively In both casea. Moeller edged Princeton, 12~10, whtle St. Ed whiPped the Vikings, .22-6, in a fierce rain..; storm.. Moeller rallied past St. Joe, lZ-7, while St. Ed won tbatone,35-14. But Currence merely shrugs at such comparisons. "I think Moeller's gotten better since their Princeton game," he says. "It's not the same team I saw on. tum against Findlay last weekend. They ha:.d improved by the time they played St.. Joe. That was the best gam~ St. joe played all year. "I don't see a weak spot on their team," he adds. "I thought at the beginning they weren't playing that well. But boy, they are now."

Rate Moeller, St. Ed_Close By DENNY DRESSMAN

Eaquirer Sports Reporter Unbeaten Lakewood St. Edward has outscored 11 opponents, 345-117, and carries the number one ranklng tn both the Associated Press and United Preas lnternatlonal Class AAA state polla. Undefeated Moeller has rolled up a ~62 edge in 11 · victories, and carries the number two rating in the aame two polLs. Which team la better? It there's anyone anywhere with a special ln.slght into Friday nlght's 1 Ohio high school Class AAA state championship football game be· tween these Lw o powerhouaea, It's either Pat Mancuso of Princeton or Bill Outbrod of Cleveland St. Jo· seph, head coaches themselves. They scouted, prepared tor and lost to both state llnallsts th1l seaaon. But rdnce former toes quite often are future toea, too, most coaches are hesitant to provide publk scouting reports.. If they consent, their comments usually are more cau· tloua than eandld.. Thus, to put today's experts at ease, they~ been granted total annonymtty in their discussions of Moeller and St. Ed's. Their com. ments have been combined Into a composite comprehensive assess· ment ot the two titans that will meet in Akron's Rubber Bowl two days from now. Here's how they see It:

"IT'S PRETTY obvious that they're both outstanding ball clubs. We have two tine teams In the finals, and that's an Improvement. "St. Ed's plays a wide open style and they cover the whole field on offense, where Moeller concentrates on maybe a third of t.he field. Both of. them can throw well, but St. Ed's throws all ltlnds-50--yarders, 30yarders, rtve and 10-yarders. Moeller ' is pretty much in the 10-yard area. "Moeller has possession football as its main objective. They can take eight minutes to score a.nd you don't have the football In that quarter •very much, where St. Ed's will score ; In three p 1a y s or 11 v e plays-: ta.k e ·one or two minutes. "St. Ed's 1s an extremely strong and dlverslfled football team. Tb.ey ·have the personnel at the skilled 'positions to be very strong offensively. They have a.n outstanding .'fullback ln (Joe) Portale and a great ·quarterback .in (Dan) McHugh. .

"Portale 1a going to keep you honest In the middle, and McHugh ts an excellent. runnJ.ni passer. He throws well on the run. Then they have two quick ha.lfbacks wbo ~ &b!e to run wtde, and they have two good spUt ends to catch the football. And bOth ha.ltbaeks can catch lt. well, too. ..

Enquirer Sports Reporter AKRON, Ohio-It would he easy to underestimate the quality of Moeller's faceless running attack when compared with the IndiVidual brilliance of Lakewood St. Edward's Joe Portale, or even Findlay's Andy Schramm, last week's opponent. But Crusader fullback Mike Burns adVises against that. The 6-foot-1, 200-pound senior even suggests the ground game could be the decisive weapon when unbeaten Moeller, rated second in both ftnal Class A A A wire service state polls, challenges top-ranked St. Ed in the championship game of the Ohio high school triple-A state football playoffs tonight at 7:30p.m. in the Rubber Bowl.

successive fourth down gambles in a desperate 12-play, 63- yard scoring drive that cuUhe Moeller lead to 1412. . A 34-yard pass from McHugh to Bova - on a fourth-and-tour situation - produced the touchdown. "I almost. blew the game right there," admitted defensive coach John Parker. "I went to a shortyardage defense, a six-five. I th<mght sure they'd run that big guy (Porta.le) or try a screen. They made a great call and we didn't have a cha.nee against tt." Parter redeemed himself moments later by calltng the llnebacker blitz. "WE'D ONLY run Jt once the whole game," he said. "We had to try something to slow them down. I'd love to say it surprised him (McHugh) and caused ltlm to tumble, but I think he was Just over anxious. "We didn't even practice the blitz all week,'' Parker mused. "We didn't think we could blitz on them because they're always running wide." Moeller led all the way after a scoreless first period, taking the lead on a. one-yard smash up the middle by fullback Mike Burns who scored both touchdowns - and a placement kick by Ken Naber, who converted twice for the winning margin. It was only the second time all season that St. Ed had tallen behind. St. Ed reduced the lead to 7-6

with a nine· yard pass from McHugh to Bova 39 seconds before halftime. That was another incredibly qu.tck drive for the Eagles, who used only 50 ·seconds to go 63 yards in seven plays after a Moeller punt. Moeller scuttled a.n attempted two-point conversion pass with a heavy rush that forced McHugb to throw In to the gtound. Alter the game Bt. Ed coach Mike Currence second-guessed himself. · "It I had It to do over again, you better believe I'd kick tt," he sighed. "You just watch next season; I'll kick arter every touchdown." A PASS interception by Bill Long preceded Moeller's s~cond touchdown drive, which was a commentary on the game in Itself. Moeller alternated Bums, Bob Massong and Steve Givens-who rushed for 11.7 yards In 24 carries on the night with 52 coming on seven tries In this match.

Enquirer Sports Reporter t\KRON, Ohio - Before coming here to play favored Lakewood St. Edward for the Class ·AAA state football championship Friday night, the Moeller football team stopped off in Canton to visit the PmFootball Hall of Fame. · Appropriately, most of the players enjoyed films of the New York Jets' Super Bowl upset of the Bal~imore Colts more th.an anything else.' · "T watched it over and over," quarterback Tim Koegel smiled after Moeller had pulled its own upset by beating St. Ed, 14-12, before 14,846 at the Rubber Bowl. "A lot of guys did. I was mainly watching Joe Namath. I think it helped all of us get ready to play." Running back Steve Givens, who led a heroic ground attack with 117 yards in 24 carries, agreed on the value of the visit, though he concentrated on a different rum. · "!·watched some of the great running backs," he said, "especially Jlm Brown. Seeing those guys makes you want to run like that." IT TOOK more than mere inspiration, of course, to. beat the team that won both wire service stat.e polls. Moeller coach Gerry Faust credited change in offensive line technique with helping the running game succeed ~o spectacularly. "We opened up our splits this week," he said. "We felt if we spread our line a little and jw;t got a piece of their defensive men as they charged, it would make our running mo.re effective. It really worked. ''Tiley jumped in to a four-four defense for a while," Faust continued, "but we knocked thein out of it in a hurry. We know how to run on the four-four; we use that defense ourselves the time." Moeller's own defense was out- · .standing, everi though St. Ed finish:ed with a 14-12 edge in first downs and a 258-239 lead in total offei1se. Fullback Joe Portale, who gained· more than 1200 yards in the regular season, was limited to 99 on 20

carries, though he did gain another 32 yards on a pair of screen passes in the Eagles' first touchdown drive. . St. Ed quarterback Dan McHugh, who completed 12 of 19 passes for 147 yards and both Eagle TDs, was under heavy pre~sure all night. Moeller defenders Jim Gross, John Davis, Joe Humphrey and Don Rohiis each had a sack for losses totaling 43 yards; Bill Long intercepted a McHugh pass to set up Moeller's second touchdown and Bob Crable recovered a McHugll fumble to save the game. "THEY PLAY an outside game and werely on our quickness,'' explained linebacker John Crone, who made numerous important st:ops on Moeller's side of sc~immage. "We had to get good pursuit to stop their quarterback and the passing game. "They presented a lot of problems for us," he added. "This past week of practice was unbelievable. It's the hardest we've worked In my four years at Moeller." Moeller's only costly defensive mistake was pass inter:ference by John Williams, who made up for it with a clutch punt in the final minute. St. Ed had thrown two successive incompletioris from its 3'1 in the closing seconds of the first halt when Williams bumped receiver Bill BenJk for a drive-sustaining 15-y'ard walkof1'. The two screens to Portale and two passes to Chris Bova made it 7-6, "lt was way over: his head so I slowed up a little/' Williams sal d. "The te f said I went up the guy's back. The coaches didn't yell at me so they must not have thought it was a real good call, eit,her." MOELLER QUARTERBACK Tim Koegel complet.ed a season low 4for-9 passing, but.two of the completion:-;-a 24-yai·der to Dave Condeni and a 12-yarder to Bob Massong-were the big plays in the Crusaders' first touchdown march. "The ball was kind of slippery; and the cold made It harder to catch it,'' he noted. "I'm glad we didn't have to throw more."
