Rockets Open Football Season At Hartley
The Rock Valley Rocket football team opens its 1977 campaign Friday night in a non conference game at Hartley. Coach Les Hansen says the Rockets will work on timing and special teams while monitoring senior running back Don Van Otterloo who sprained an ankle. Starting spots on offense appear set, with Curt Dykstra or Ed De Vos at tackle, Bruce Bunch at the other tackle, Al De Vos and Rick Koldenhoven guards, and Mark Bauman at center. The backfield likely features James Miller at quarterback Van Otterloo and Terry Van Maanen at running back with Joe Kosters at wingback and Kim Boon Paul Anderson at ends. Pat McNamara could return soon from an ankle injury. Opinions on Hartley vary with local coaches noting Hartley as experienced and capable, Marty Guthmiller as a threat, and West Lyon predicting a dark horse with a strong JV presence.
