Cardinals almost had a aood vear Bttmm Joint Satljj Journal Saturday, November 8, 1980 Page 9 By JIM KRUEGER Journal Sports Writer The 1980 season wasn't a particularly good one for the Pacelli High School football team but on the other hand, it could have been a lot worse. The Cardinals' 5-5 overall record fell far short of the previous two seasons (10-1 and 8-2) while Pacelli's 3-3 record in the Central Wisconsin Catholic Conference was good for third place. But Pacelli did shut out four of its opponents Portage, 29-0, Eau Claire Regis, 27-0, Wausau Newman, 55-0, and Wisconsin Rapids Assumption, 15-0. The Cards' other victory came over Lakeland Minocqua, 39-29. And in each of the Cards' five losses, Pacelli was no more than a touchdown behind at halftime.

Pacelli lost to Escanaba, 30-15, Chippewa Falls McDonell, 13-7, La Crosse Aquinas, 27-14, Menomonie, 7-0, and Marshfield Columbus, 29-0. "You can't be satisfied with a 5-5 season," said Pacelli Coach Bob Raczek. "The goal we strive for each year is to win every game. We didn't reach that but we did lose some tough games. "I think only two teams we lost to were better than we were Escanaba and Columbus.

We were just as good as the other three except we made some mistakes which cost us victories. Overall, I'm pleased with what we accomplished. There are many teams that would be happy with a 5-5 season. "As we started out, we lost some fine athletes from last year through graduation. During the course of the summer, we also lost two others through transfers.

So we didn't have a great abundance of talent in skilled areas but we came a long way. "The key was the development of our line areas. We were inexperienced there and we tried a lot of different personnel. We finally got things settled in the middle of the season and from then on, the guys played well together. That was a big reason why we had three shutouts in a row." Turnovers at inopportune times plagued the Cards all season.

Pacelli lost the ball 25 times to 23 for its opponents but in the Cards' five losses, Pacelli turned the ball over 19 times to just 10 for the opponents. "The turnover total was about normal," said Raczek, "but when we made turnovers, other teams took advantage of them. In previous years, we were the ones who took advantage of the other team's mistakes. And those are the kind of breaks you need to win championships. "We were in every game at halftime.

But then in the second half, we couldn't control the football because of the turnovers. We had chances to beat McDonell and Menomonie in the last minute but then we lost the ball. With a few breaks here and there, we could have been 8-2." The key to the Pacelli offense was the development of the line. "We had only one experienced guy back," said Raczek, referring to center Mike Bemowski. "It took a lot of hard work but these guys finally came around.

Our pass blocking was pretty good most of the season. "We had over 1000 yards receiving and all of our receivers did a fine job. None of them have great speed but they showed the ability to catch the ball in traffic. "Jim Rogers was our only back with any varsity experience and he had a fine season." Rogers led the team with 755 yards rushing and also led the team in scoring with 84 points. "Jon Brilowski came into his own in the last three games," said Raczek, "as he had 270 yards.

I look for him to continue that next year. "Jeff Soderberg at quarterback played hurt most of the year (wrist injury) and that hampered him. But he had a good year as he completed 45 percent of his passes for 903 yards. The biggest problem he had was 11 interceptions. That's something he'll have to work on." Raczek was pleased with the way his team was able to move the ball but said his biggest disappointment was in the Cards' inability to score from in close.

Defensively, the Cards were hampered by inconsistent tackling. "We didn't do a good job of gang tackling," said Raczek. "We have to improve on our tackling next year. We had too many games with poor tackling, which resulted in long gains for our opponents. "We weren't able to settle on our line and linebackers until toward the end of the season.

We were winding up with one or two guys out of place, which resulted in long plays. We had some good people in the secondary but not outstanding. When backs broke through the line, we didn't have the personnel to stop them before they got a long gain." While there were some bleak moments this season, Raczek a bright future for the Cards. "I'm looking forward to next year," he said. "We'll have a lot of fine athletes coming back.

We have a fine bunch of sophomores, four of whom started at one time for us and lettered. Defensively, we started six underclassmen and they'll all be back so that will help. "The junior varisty team was 7-2 and those kids got a lot of valuable playing time. We also had some good-sized athletes on the freshman team. We hope they can give us some depth next year." Raczek listed Brilowski, Soderberg, end Ken Eul, tackle John Rechner, guard Brad Roberts and tackle Tom Lila, all juniors, as some of the experienced players he will be counting on next season.

"Despite this 5-5 season, I think we have an excellent program going," he said. "In the last 10 years, we're 75-25-1, with five conference championships and that shows success. "With four evenly matched teams in our conference Assumption, Aquinas, Columbus and ourselves it's hard to be No. 1 every year. It's hard for one team to dominate.

But we're going to work hard in the off-season to get back on top."

The Bucks, who had a 10-game winning streak snapped by Detroit Tuesday night, built a 16-point lead in the second period before settling for a 56-50 advantage at halftime. The Celtics roared back in the third period to forge in front and then lead by as much as six points, 85-79, four minutes into the final quarter. the Bucks battled back as Junior Bridgeman scored 12 points and then pulled out the victory on two free throws by Bob Lanier, one by Marques Johnson and two by Quinn Buckner in the final 61 seconds. "I thought we played well down the stretch," Milwaukee Coach Don Nelson said.

"We kept our composure. They were jamming the inside on us, so we had to shoot from outside and they started falling for us. "No, I don't like to beat my old team. I just enjoy beating them because they're a good team and we're a good team. Sometimes luck plays an important part in this game." After Bird's two free throws, the Celtics had one final shot when the Bucks threw the ball away on a pass-in.

Boston moved the ball to Eric Fersten, who shot from the baseline as he was whacked by Lanier at the final buzzer. "Yes, I thought our man was fouled, but there's nothing you can do about it," said Boston assistant coach K.C.

7th Annual Central Wi By DAVE O'HARA AP Sports Writer BOSTON (AP) With three seconds remaining and the Milwaukee Bucks in front 102-99, Larry Bird of the Boston Celtics went to the line for two free throws, made the first and tried to bounce the second off the rim. In effect, Bird missed. The ball took a bounce and fell through the basket. The Bucks then held on for a 102-101 National Basketball Association victory Friday night, boosting their record to 12-3, "That's the type of night it was one in which you try to miss intentionally and can't do it," said Boston Coach Bill Fitch, who was ejected by referee Wally Rooney on two technical fouls in the third period. "Of course, it's hard for Bird to intentionally miss the second foul shot," Fitch explained.

"It's not only that he has to miss it, it's how he misses it." the championship next week against the winner of today's game between Mosinee (10-0) and Coleman (9-0). Reinert's 1-yard touchdown run gave De Forest a 13-7 lead early in the second quarter, and De Forest broke open the game with two more touchdowns in the last 1:10 before halftime.
