Coack Kelly Camp has several i returning senior lettermen to rely f on and he says they, are being, pushed hard by some excellent juniors. Among those juniors is a 6-foot-4 transfer student from Elgin Mike Hpgen who will get some time at Ught end. .Voted by his teammates as the hardest worker during the off-sea­ son, special teams captain Tom Shadle will return at linebacker and fullback. This is the first time the Indians have had a special teams captain and this is the result of the weight-training program instituted after last year's losing season. Tom is not big, 160 pounds, but Camp says he's strong enough to compensate for his lack of size. John Jennings, who did not see a 1<K of action last year, is working out at center and linebacker. Jen­ nings was a varsity wrestler at 155 pounds and is also strong. Kurt "Rocky" Beyer was the In­ dians starting cornerback last year. This year he's been working at that wot as well as linebacker. Said Camp, "What you notice immedi­ ately about Beyer is his wreckless abandon. He's strong, he's quick $id aggressive. The kind that leads by example. Kurt kept his shape tnis summer by attending national guard boot camp and Camp says he'll see a lot of playing time.' Jim Bimmerle will return at full­ back and tailback this year. He was seriously injured in last year's game in the rain at Richmond, but seems to be in good shape atad ready for action. Defensively, he may see some time at inside linebacker. One of the bigger men on the team, he weighs in at 195 but Camp says he's quick, changes direction well and hits hard. Bimmerle is a team captain. Nick Bokowy was a special teams player on the junior varsity squad last year. Camp said Nick is looking good in practice in the defensive backfield. "Nick is constantly im­ proving," Camp said. "He's got good speed and he'll really stick you." Chis Wilson, a 5-9170-pound honor student, excited Marengo fans last year with his impressive broken- field running from the taUback spot. He's fast, has good hands and Camp says they'll be utilizing him from the slotback position on counters this year. Jeff McCarty is a perienced defensive back. laid McCarty will be used at eind, but his forte is defense, defensive end, McCarty can stick with anoyone coming out of the backfield and break up the big plays. Ron Heinberg got a lot of playing time last year at defensive guard. With his experience and added size and strength, Camp has him work­ ing at center and linebacker. Camp said he's expecting outstanding per­ formances from Heinberg. The Indians have a good situation at quarterback. Returning quarter­ back C.J. Graves is competing for his job with Kevin Shelton, who led the sophomore team so ably last year. Camp has Graves working at full­ back and outside linebacker as well. "He's a strong kid, and at 6-foot-2 easily stuffs a basketball. He goes about 185 pounds." Graves and Bimmerle are the In­ dians' co-captains. Jeff Serensen, at 6-2 and 220 pounds, was an all-conference de­ fensive lineman -- the Indians on- lyall-conference pick last year. He'll play tackle both ways this year. "Along with his size and strength goes a lot of agility," said Camp. Jeff is expected to be a ma­ jor influence in the Marengo line. Returning letterman Mike Hertel who plays tackle both ways drew special praise from Camp. "At 180 pounds, he's not excep­ tionally big, but he's very strong. What is so impressive about Mike is his fine technique. At this point, Mike has impressed me the most." In-^ajldition to returning letter- men, CaftYD made note of other player he ejects big things from this season. Kevin Shelton has prov­ en himself to be*a good scrambling quarterback with a strong, accurate arm. Camp has him working at defen­ sive safety. Dave Bowen is looking good at split end and cornerback. Bowen has good hands and very good INDIANS-Page 15 They are all very serious and business-like in practice. Attendance has been excellent. We're a bigger team this year and I'm excited. Kelly Caiftp By Steve Peterson Herald News Service HUNTLEY -- Some say the work ethic is not what it used to be. But don't tell that to the Huntley High School football team. "I've been coaching for 10 years and I've never had a team that's worked harder," new Redskin men­ tor Eric Mychko said. Mychko takes over after former coach Larry Kahl won just three games over two years. The Red­ skins are coming off a 2-7 season and Mychko, who was an assistant at Huntley for three years before taking over the head job, admits having his squad forget the past is a top priority. "We have to get the kids believing they can win," Mychko said. "In the past there has not been a winning attitude. We've been pushing the winning attitude since the first day. The kids have a super positive men- tak attitude." If Mychko and the Redskins are to return to the land of winning, they will have to start on the road. Hunt­ ley has three road games to open the season -- at Winnebago, South Beloit and Hampshire -- before hosting Genoa-Kingston at Lindsey Field September 13. "The first three games are impor­ tant because they're against teams we can beat if we play well," Mychko said. The Redskins return seven letter- man from last year's team. The team's top two runners, Larry Basel and Todd Ream, will both be back to amass yardage. Ream injured his ankle in basket­ ball, but Mychko says Ream should be at full strength by the season opener. Mychko has promised a more open attack on offense. "We're not going to stay in the same set. We'll try the first few games to stay with the basics until we know what we know. We'll show variations. I like to throw and we'U throw in any situation," Mychko said. Eaxctly who will be guiding that open attack is a question mark, though. A three-way battle for the starting quarterback job has been shaping up since the first day of practice. Senior Scott Kunde is being chal- langed by sophomore Mike Reyn­ olds and junior Mark Bauer. After a week of practice, Mychko indicated Bauer has the upper hand. "Now after one week, he is look­ ing the best," Mychko said of the 5- foot-9, 165-pounder. "He has taken over the leadership. He runs the offense well and is a good thrower." Mychko said Kunde "runs the of­ fense weU but is a little weaker on passing." Of Reynolds, the new head coach says, "He throws the ball well but is a little weaker with the run." Depth and experience may be trouble spots for the Redskins this year. Huntley has a 21-player ros­ ter, making any injury critical. Ju­ niors dominate the roster with 12, while eight players are seniors and one is a sophomore. "We're two deep in the backfield, but if we have an injury to the line, we'U be hurting because we don't have anybody to replace them. Right now we have five offensive linemen," Mychko said. The Redskins wUl be adding an­ other player when Dan Erath re­ turns from New York after compet­ ing tfith the Elgin teener Pony league basebaU squad in a national tourney.
