BOYS SOCCER
( Continued from page 11 )
Morehead and Scheuerman were inducted into the St . Croix Valley Sports Hall of Fame last fall while Kurttila , Kogl and public-address announcer and long-time voice of Stillwater soccer Bob Bielenberg are included in this year ’ s class that will be inducted on Thursday , Sept . 26 at The Grand Banquet Hall in Stillwater .
• Bielenberg passed away in August at the age of 86 . He was a loyal Ponies supporter in soccer and many other sports . In a story following Bielenberg ’ s retirement from calling soccer games , Ponies coach Jake Smothers noted at the time : “ I ’ m 47 years old , so he ’ s been going at it almost as long as I ’ ve been around . Bob is the voice of all of our success . Bob has called every section winning goal we ’ ve scored . We ’ ve never won anything without Bob ’ s voice attached to it .
“ It ’ easy to keep time and it ’ s easy to call out who scored , but it ’ s about more than that with Bob because of his character and professionalism . He brings a level of tradition and nostalgia to the game in the present and that ’ s what will be missed next year . There will be somebody else next year who will call out our first goal and it ’ s not going to sound the same .”
• Former Stillwater players competing for college soccer teams include : Gora Gora ( Liberty ), Jeff Wacker ( South Dakota School of Mines ), Dylan Magistad ( Bethel ), Daniel Davila ( UW-River Falls ), Riley Buxell ( St . John ’ s ), Colin Vilme ( Crown College ), Ilya Lalich ( McKendree ) and
Blaine Batchelor ( St . Olaf ).
