SPIRIT While other students were enjoying the last precious moments of their summer vacation before returning to school, the WMC football players were practicing daily in the hot and humid weather. For man freshman their first college experiences were sweaty and straining. This went on for several hours a day. The returning football players as well as the new members were eager to learn more new skills and improve their old ones. They wanted to make this a memorable season. The team players truly worked well together and strived to play their best. The head coach Tim Keating, the twenty-third coach in the team's history, helped keep spirits and enthusiasm levels high. Before coming to WMC he worked at Georgetown University, De Paul University, University of Pennsylvania, Rice University, and Wesley College. Therefore, his outstanding coaching experience and the support of the eight assistant coaches enabled him to lead the Green Terror to many victories. The freshmen players had no trouble adj usting to the complex plays with the aid of the experienced senior Green Terrors including Scooter Banks, Bruce Cotter, Brian Perrier, Mark Rutkowski, David Eilers, Matt Humphrey, Mike Rough, Carl Vontobel, Chris Arther, Barry Blaurelt. The three team captains, Humphrey, Perrier, and Vontoble were key players with experience and physical ability. Although the upper class men were generally the more experienced players some freshmen demonstrated their excellent athletic ability on the field as well. Freshmen quarterback Ron Serrnarini led the league in pass efficiency and quarterback ratings. Freshman cornerback Marivn Deal led the team with six interceptions and nine pass breakups. Freshmen nose tackle Tom Selecky had an outstanding year plugging up the middle. These three freshmens aided the team in touchdowns, interceptions and tackles. Also, Larry Headen boosted the special teams of the Green Terrors. The WMC football team worked as a team to finish the season with some exciting unforgettable victories. Their dedication and experience were the keys to the Green Terror's success. 1996, Football Team: Top: Ken Nunnelee (Equipment/Contest Manager).
