| A stout defense led the A's to the 3rd
championship game in five years. Ken Connell, the OHC Defensive
Player of the Year, had 96 tackles and established the career
yardstick at 288 tackles. The MVP was Tom Crone, who was tops
in blocking and second (95) in tackling. Justen Briggs, the best
offensive player, had 685 yards rushing and 46 points, although
only playing five games due to an injury. Art Caudill was the
Most Improved, and Clell Cox won the Special teams award. It was
the 1st year for the Bille Harpster Spirit award, and Ellen Saccomen
and Martha Crone were the recipients. |
