North will focus on offense
By Darran Fowler
Senior Editor
The North team, at limes, will have a
coach on-and-off the field at Saturday’s 32nd
annual Shrine Bowl, which will start 1:30
p.m. at Memorial Stadium.
Dick Stein of Chadron, who served as an
assistant in the 1986 Shrine Bowl, is the North
team’s coach. Stein’s son Kevin is one of the
North’s two quarterbacks.
“It’sreal special to have him here,” Coach
Stein said. “It’s a real advantage not only
because he’s my son, but because I’m bring
ing my own quarterback with me who knows
the system. And when he’s your son, he’s
worked with you and knows the offense that
much more.
“It’s like having another coach out on the
field. He knows the way I operate.”
The North’s other quarterback is Lans
Brown of Blair. Stein, the coach, said both
Brown and Stein, the quarterback, have
“excellent arms.”
Coach Stem, whose Chadron learns throw
about four or five times a game, said the
North was effective throwing the ball in its
scrimmages. He said the North’s game plan
calls for more throwing.
“I think in this type of game you need tc
put the ball in the air,” he said. “That’s whai
the people like to see is the ball in the air, and
it’s a lot more fun for the kids to do ai
practice.”
Besides, he said, ‘‘the running game is
coming, but it’s not where we want it to be.”
By passing more, Stein said he hopes to
sec more offense at this year’s Shrine Bowl.
* ‘ Most games arc defensive struggles,” he
said. “We’d like to put a lot of points on the
board, and wc like to think we have the kids
capable of doing that, but we haven’t put in a
whole lot of offense.”
On defer..*, at the team’s training camp at
York College, Stein said he was impressed
with the capabilities of linebackers Ray Longo
of Creighton Prep, Peyton Wayne of Omaha
Burke and Nebraska-rccruit Terry Connealy
of Hyannis.
“Wc probably have three great lineback
ers that arc very mobile and that helps defen
sively,” he said.
Stein’s assistants arc Duane Spalc of Grand
Island Northwest, Dan McLaughlin of Nor
folk and Mike McCabe of Atkinson West
Holt.
The North lost 17-7 last year, ending a
five-year winning streak.
Both »cam’s exchanged films of last Sun
day’s major scrimmages. “Wc know the
South’s capabilities,” Stein said.
I South team plans to pass
dj uarmn rowier
Senior Editor _
If passing is the name of the game, so, too,
could be tuinovers.
Coach Marty Going said the South team
expects to throw 40- to 50-percent of the time.
In addition. North coach Dick Stein said his
team was “passing really well offensively,”
and it also expects to throw regularly.
“Probably with the good chance of more
passing, there is probably a good chance for
turnovers, and that should make it pretty
exciting,” said Going, who worked as an
assistant in the 1986 Shrine Bowl.
The 32nd annual Shrine Bowl game is
1:30 p.m. Saturday at Memorial Stadium.
The South won the 1989 Shrine Bowl 17-7,
which ended the North’s stretch of five-straight
victories.
Going, of Millard South, said both teams
are implementing a passing game, probably
because it is easier to establish than a running
game.
“It’s a lot easier gelling a passing game in
in a short period of time,” he said. “There arc
probably some less liming techniques in
volved there.”
He said the North’s defense really will
decide his team’s ratio of pass-to-running
plays.
“A lot of it depends on what the defense
gives and what’s working,” he said. “Hope
fully we’ll find something that works.”
Going said the team’s strength lies in its
defense.
“Our linebackers and defensive line, wc’rc
really good there, and I wouldn’t trade Calvin
Jones at running back either,” he said.
Part of the South’s running game will
consist of Jones, a Nebraska recruit from
Omaha Central, where he was regarded as
one of the top running backs in the nation.
“I know players and fans enjoy the pass
ing, but I think it would be fun if Calvin Jones
broke a couple runs,” Going said.
He added that the North has two capable
runners in Greg Hays of Elkhorn and Jason
Williams of Creighton Prep.
The South coaching staff, including assis
tants Ray Henning of Norris, Rob Hanger of
Sutton and Marlin Tcrwilliger of Grant, did
have a few pleasant surprises during its team
training camp at Doane College in Crete,
Going said.
Going said strong safely and wingback
Matt Wibbels of Central City was “outstand
ing ” during camp. He said he also was im
pressed with place-kicker and punter Ty Ste
wart of Omaha Westside.
