DIANE K. ENDRES BALLWEG ’71 Servant Heart Award Edgewood is proud to acknowledge one of its own as an outstanding, caring person, an extremely generous philanthropist, an enthusiastic life-long learner and a hardworking teacher and civic leader. After graduating from Edgewood High School, Diane attended Edgewood College, where she earned a degree in special education with a minor in math. She worked as a special education teacher in Oregon, but she loved music, and a decade later received a bachelor’s in music education from UW-Madison, which led to several music teaching positions at the elementary and pre-school level as well as through UW-Extension. She also taught music independently, creating her own business, the Perfect Octave Music Studio, in 1980, where she had students from kindergarten to their 80s, and she developed a pre-school program and presented seminars for adult pianists. Another of her projects was founding and directing a youth choir named “Chosen Few.” Diane has served on the boards of the Madison Boy Choir and Wisconsin Youth Symphony Orchestra and was also active in the Madison Area Teachers Association. Her love for the arts has always been prominent, and truly came to the fore when she made a decision to become involved as a major benefactor. Under her leadership, her family’s Endres Manufacturing Company Foundation has grown substantially and Diane’s first substantial personal contribution was $3 million toward the Great Performance Fund, a campaign launched in support of the Overture Center in Madison. Diane is responsible for significant contributions to the theatre renovation at Edgewood High School, to the expansion of Edgewood Campus School, and was the lead donor on the dramatic Visual and Dramatic Arts building at Edgewood College, “The Stream,” which she asked be named for its location and view to nature rather than for herself. Subsequently, the theatre in the building has been named in her honor. Diane’s list of philanthropic and service affiliations, not even including those with which she has worked in the past, encompasses several dozen arts, aviation, manufacturing, music, and educational organizations. Among them are the International Women’s Foundation, Porchlight Capital Campaign chair, the National Arts Board from the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., Women Moving Millions National Association, UW School of Music Board of Visitors, A Fund for Women Executive Council, Greater Madison Area Chamber of Commerce Board and Public Policy Committee, Merlin Mentor for Business Entrepreneurs, and EAA Young Eagle Flight Leader. Oh yes, about that last affiliation. In addition to working on a master’s degree in educational administration that she earned from Edgewood College in 2007, Diane spent the early 1990s through 2006 pursuing another passion: flying. She acquired progressively sophisticated certifications in aviation, first as a private pilot and finally, in 2006, as an advanced certified ground school instructor. In 2000, she founded the Aviation program at EHS and has been the instructor for the courses since then. Diane founded Friends of Morey Airport (Middleton) and PROPS (Pilots Recycling Other Pilots’ Skills) and has served on the Middleton Airport Commission and Technical Advisory Committee. Diane has been an active member of the Jaycettes and Jaycees, volunteered with the Girl Scouts, served as the chair of the Junior Miss Scholarship Program, is a member of the Edgewood Athletic Association and E NCORE for the arts at EHS, held the EHS Development Director position, served on the Edgewood Board of Trustees and several committees, including some as chair, and continues to oversee the Endres Manufacturing Company Foundation as its president and as a company board member. In 2000, Edgewood High School presented Diane with the Dominican Award for Service to Humanity and in 2013, Lewis University in Romeoville, Illinois, awarded her an Honorary Doctorate. Diane remains active in her personal interests of traveling the world, music, flying, reading and writing, and entertaining, and takes joy in the accomplishments of her children, Ben ’95, Sam ’97 and Katie ’07, and her grandchildren.

DAVID L. STEIN Alumni Appreciation Award Dave Stein recently completed his term as chairman of the Edgewood High School Board of Trustees, serving in that capacity during a period of transformation of the school’s facilities and several successful years of fundraising. He notes, “I’ve been fortunate to be part of Edgewood during some exciting times: the school continues to maintain a strong reputation for academics and co-curriculars, remains on very solid financial footing, and is investing in its future. I’ve been particularly impressed by the two school presidents with whom I’ve worked—Judd Schemmel and Mike Elliott—and my colleagues on the Board of Trustees. EHS is also blessed by the sponsorship of the Sinsinawa Dominicans and the seemingly never-ending support of alumni, parents and financial benefactors. It’s truly a special place.” Dave joined Edgewood’s Board in 2010 and assumed the role of chair in Fall 2013. He was a member of the Board during the search for a new president and has been critical to both the successful transition and the school’s rapid progress during Mike Elliott’s first years. Dave was always willing to assist in any way he could while serving on the Board. He established a committee to begin defining and developing a plan to increase recruitment of students of color and has been a involved in a key role in the past year as Edgewood has conducted an exploration of the possibilities for a future capital campaign that could have a major impact on the school for years to come. He has been available for consultation and has worked on projects for the school early in the morning and late into the night. Dave’s wife, Jenny, a 1980 alumna, has also played an active role at the school, supporting a wide range of activities and as a member of the Edgewood Parent Community group of volunteers, including serving as the president, 2012-2013. As an executive vice president at Associated Bank since 2005, Dave has been influential in steering financial support and sponsorships from the bank for events from Edgewood in the Community day of service to the Northwoods Golf Invitational and Wilke Golf Outing to Trivia Night to theatre programs. He and Jenny are equally generous in their personal giving to Edgewood High School, with leadership gifts as Four-Front Parents, support of the E NCORE fine arts donor group and other contributions that earned them a place in 2014-2015 as new members of the Diamond Court level of Edgewood’s Crusader Court. Previous to working for Associated Bank, Dave held leadership roles at JPMorgan Chase, 1989-2005, and before that at First Bank System (now USBank), 1985-88. He holds a bachelor’s from St. Cloud State University and an MBS from Northwestern University. Dave currently serves as a trustee of the State of Wisconsin Investment Board (SWIB) and has also devoted his time and talents to civic, health and arts organizations in Madison. He was on the board of St. Mary’s Hospital Foundation 2007-2012, including a term as president, the board of the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, 2008-2011, including service as treasurer, and the board of Madison Repertory Theater, 2007-2010. Dave and Jenny are dedicated, active members of St. Maria Goretti Parish. They have four children, all of whom have attended or are currently at EHS: Kate ’12 (currently senior at Northwestern University); Peter ’14 (currently a freshman at University of Notre Dame); and current EHS students Evy ’16 and Claire ’18. A number of other family members on Jenny’s side, including her mother, Ruthann Rocca Grantham ’54, are graduates of Edgewood High School. Dave says, “Edgewood has been a fantastic experience for our family, especially our four children. Jenny and I continue to be amazed by the school’s dedicated faculty and staff. Edgewood is big enough to attract outstanding teachers, maintain a first-class fine arts program and field highly competitive sports teams, yet it is small enough to give students the opportunity to try everything and allow parents to really get to know each other.”

SR. CONSTANCE P. FAHEY, FSM ’54 Dominican Award for Service to Humanity Sister Constance joined the congregation of the Sisters of St. Mary in St. Louis Missouri, in March 1954. She has responded to a call to minister in a variety of roles in health care over the last 60-plus years. Early on, she served as an administrative technologist at St. Louis University Hospitals, Cardinal Glennon Memorial Hospital for Children, and Mercy Hospital in Champaign Urbana. While in St. Louis, she also attended St. Louis University, earning a bachelor’s degree in medical technology and a master’s in education. She followed those with a master’s in administration from Central Michigan University in 1976. In 1977, Sr. Constance moved to South Carolina, where she established a School of Medical Technology and directed the Pee Dee AHEC educational program for allied health professionals working for McLeod Regional Health System in Florence. At the request of Bishop Unterkoefler, and in collaboration with several committed laypersons, she initiated Mercy Hospice to serve terminally ill persons and their families in Horry, Marian and Georgetown counties. Sr. Constance returned to St. Louis in 1981 to assume the position of executive director of the SSM Health Care System’s Central Office, involved in the planning and establishment of the System over a period of years. Beginning in 1986, she served as a System regional vice president and coordinated the closing of Mt. St. Rose Hospital, the establishment of SSM Rehabilitation Hospital and the construction of St. Joseph’s West Hospital. She also served on the Board of Directors for the newly established Hannibal Regional Medical Center. After working to help coordinate the reunification process of the Sisters of St. Mary (SSM) and Sisters of St. Francis (OSF) congregations to form the Franciscan Sisters of Mary, Sr. Constance served on Leadership Team for eight years. She earned a PhD from St. Louis University in 1993 and, upon the completion of her congregational service in 1995, she returned to South Carolina to assume the executive director position at Mercy Hospice and Palliative Care in Conway. She also participated in and provided leadership, as president 1995-2008, to the diocesan organization of women religious (WRISC) and established a parish nurse program in St. James Parish, Conway. During her second stay in South Carolina, Sr. Constance was instrumental in establishing a transitional home for homeless women and children under the auspices of Ocean View Baptist Church in collaboration with the City of Myrtle Beach. She also provided consultant and educational services and volunteered on the boards for several non-profit organizations serving Horry County’s marginalized persons. As a consultant to the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine Foundation, she assisted women religious with grant writing and fundraising. She was active in her parish and was an organist for St. James Catholic Church and Holy Lamb Lutheran Church. Sr. Constance acquired a Sursum Corda certificate in spiritual direction and, upon retiring from Mercy Hospice, collaborated with another Franciscan sister to establish the Wholeness Holiness Retreat ministry. Among their clients were African women religious and their ministry partners who are dealing with the devastating effects of poverty and the AIDS epidemic in Zambia. In 2010, Sr. Constance relocated to Janesville, Wisconsin, and continued doing spiritual direction, conducting retreats for missionaries working in Zambia and fundraising for several African missions. Today, she offers her services to St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital, advises on spiritual direction and participates in Janesville’s Catholic Church community life. Sr. Constance’s 10 brothers and sisters also attended Edgewood High School graduating between 1957 and 1974. A number of other relatives, including some of her siblings’ spouses have attended EHS as well. Sr. Constance notes, “I am very grateful for my Edgewood education which prepared me well for the rigors of the Jesuit educational process. I am also thankful for the inspiration of the Dominican sisters and their understanding. They were very supportive of me as a young person coping with being the eldest of many siblings and surviving the everyday realities of being a teenager during the less complicated days of the ’50s.”

MARGARET BERIGAN M CKINLEY ’64 Mazzuchelli Award for Service to Christian Education Margaret Berigan McKinley began attending the Edgewood four-year-old kindergarten, following in the footsteps of her older sisters and brother, and never left the campus until she earned her bachelor’s degree from Edgewood College where she would also do post-graduate work in later years. In fact, since 1924, there have been very few years when a Berigan or McKinley extended family member wasn’t in attendance or employed at Edgewood! Two weeks after college graduation, she married her high school sweetheart, Dennis, who had just finished his first year as music teacher at Edgewood High School. Margaret began her own teaching career in 1968 at St. Bernard Grade School in Middleton. When her first child was born in June 1969, Margaret decided to be a stay-at-home mother, but this did not curtail her devotion to Catholic education. Among many activities, she served on the Education Commission at Our Lady Queen of Peace (QP), on the QP Council, including a year as president, and on the Queen’s Guild Board. She has been a parish choir member, worked parish festivals and volunteered at the Veterans Hospital. She coached the QP cheerleaders, was a Cub Scout den mother and Girl Scout cookie chair, chaperoned trips and acted as theater house manager at Edgewood. While raising a family, which also included being a foster parent, Margaret worked in retail (part-time, then full-time), making it possible for her husband to stay teaching in a Catholic high school. Three of her children—Rick, Terri and John— are alumni of both QP and EHS. When her fourth child, Erin, passed away at 7 months old in 1985, Margaret and her family felt the compassion, prayers and support of Queen of Peace and St. Maria Goretti parishes and Edgewood. When Margaret was hired to be librarian at Queen of Peace School (by former EHS principal, Steve Bolser) in 1995, the library was housed in a “glorified closet.” She was charged by Bolser to oversee the expansion of the library into a substantially larger new space. Because of Margaret's background in the retail furniture business, she was able to maximize the new footage by ordering appropriate furnishings. She also oversaw the introduction of computers into the library, two different electronic catalog/check-out systems, and expansion of the book inventory. Margaret spent much of her summer vacations ordering and reading new books for both student and classroom use and cataloging them. During the school year, her evenings were filled with reading new books and preparing book orders. Both summer and school years often included coursework at UW-Madison, Edgewood College and Viterbo University. Margaret’s greatest joy as librarian was acting as a “grandmother” to all the students, especially the younger ones. She loved filling the display shelves with books appropriate for the seasons of the natural and liturgical year and decorating the library with posters, signs, Beanie Babies, etc. to create a welcoming environment. While reading to the younger students she developed the skills of holding the book facing the students with one hand, turning pages with the other, reading the story with (of course) the proper expression/emotion, and keeping an eye on 20 munchkins—all at the same time. She would go the extra step to make a book interesting. In the fall, she would make a trip to the market to purchase one of as many varieties of apples as possible so she could use them when she read a book about apples (which eventually ended up in apple pies!). She never missed an opportunity to turn an event into a learning experience: when a funeral with military rites occurred at the church, she would explain what was happening, and why , in a way the young students could understand. A measure of Margaret’s success is the many, many notes she received throughout the year, from students and parents alike, telling her how much the children loved library time. It was common for one of her young students run over and give her a big hug while she was shopping. While Margaret retired at the end of the 2014-15 school year after serving for 20 years (the longest serving librarian in school history), she leaves a legacy in a generation of students whom she dearly loved.

Andrew and his wife, Kathleen, have three sons, Daniel, William and Nicholas. Andrew says, “I will always be grateful for my time at EHS. I had the opportunity to learn from two fine musicians— Dennis McKinley and Ann Nelson—who were also great people and role models for me. I also had excellent teachers in many other subjects, who often went beyond their job descriptions to give me the best possible preparation for adult life, both in academics and Christian values.”

LEO J. COOPER, JR. ’39 (posthumous) EAA Athletic Hall of Fame Leo Cooper ’39 earned 7 varsity letters playing football and basketball in his high school career. He started all four years on the football team, was a member of the undefeated 1937 team and was captain of the team in the 1938 season. In basketball, he was a starter in his junior and senior years. Leo began attending the University of Wisconsin-Madison and was a member of the football team in fall 1939, but illness forced him to withdraw from school and then life got in the way of his returning to his studies. That, however, did not prevent Leo from leading a remarkable, fulfilling life of service to others. He was a person who had learned early on that life wasn’t always fair. It was his grandmother who raised Leo; his mother died following his birth. Leo’s father moved from Madison to Janesville to continue working on the railroad, leaving Leo without a strong older male in his life until he met Coach Earl Wilke at Edgewood. It was a friendship that would last throughout their lives, with “Coach” watching out for Leo throughout his teen years—giving him rides home through the rough Irish bootlegger territory of Madison’s 4th Ward, providing advice and steering him through good times and bad. When Coach Wilke died, the relationship they had developed was so strong and special that Leo felt he had lost his father. It was their bond that cemented Leo’s affection for Edgewood as a whole. In 2000, when Edgewood celebrated the accomplishments of the undefeated football teams of 1937, 1939, 1944, 1945, 1946, 1947, 1955, 1957 & 1962, Leo was in attendance and remembered the event as holding particular meaning for him because he and his son walked out onto the field together, having both been members of undefeated teams. Throughout his life, Leo remained active in sports, including more than three decades of pitching fast-pitch softball and bowling. He was the CYO boys’ coach at St. James Parish in the 1960s and was a manager for women’s fast-pitch softball from the mid-70s to mid-80s. It was his life of beyond the athletic arena, however, that truly distinguished Leo and earned him a previous award from Edgewood High School, the 2001 Dominican Award for Service to Humanity. Leo exemplified the times when a blue- collar worker by day could be a major player in the community by night. In addition to being a switchman for the Milwaukee Road for 40 years, he had a long and distinguished career dedicated to public service. Leo served as a member of the Madison City Council from 1963 to 1971, serving two terms as its president. In 1971 and 1973 he made unsuccessful bids for mayor against Bill Dyke and Paul Soglin respectively. However, in his eight years on the City Council, Leo introduced and co- sponsored more legislation than any other city official in Madison’s history, and he saw 97% of this legislation passed. Leo’s ability as an able administrator was evident when he served on the Board of Estimates, the Madison Redevelopment Authority, the Madison Housing Authority, the Housing Relocation and Welfare Study, the Madison Police and Fire Commission and the Governor’s Steering Committee for the State Office Building. Leo was also on the Board of Directors of the Bayview Foundation, which sponsored low-income housing units in the Greenbush area where he grew up. He was president of the Holy Name Society of St. James Church, served on the Parish Council as a member and president, and was a lifelong member of the Knights of Columbus. Leo, who had a delightful sense of humor, loved to laugh and party. He loved his wife of 60 years, Emma, who died in August 2001, shortly after Leo’s own death in May of that year. He loved his five children, all of whom graduated from Edgewood: Dennis ’60, Catherine Hlavacek ’62, Leo III ’63, Mark ’67 and Joseph ’69. He also dearly loved his grandchildren (including EHS graduates Jessica ’88 and Adam ’91, the children of Leo III) and great-grandchildren.

HUBER ’54 EAA Athletic Hall of Fame Dan Huber ’54 was an outstanding student and three-sport athlete who excelled at football and track, but was particularly distinguished for his basketball skills. In his senior year, Dan led the 1953-54 basketball team on an 18-game winning streak, finishing the regular season with an 18-1 record and the entire season at 21-2. The team finished in third place in the Catholic State Tournament and Dan was selected to be a member of the Catholic All-State Basketball First Team. He was also named to the Capital Times “All-City Five” First Team as a guard along with teammate Jim Holmes, at center; Phil Pittz was included as a forward on the Second Team and Coach Wilke was named a Co-Coach of the Year. Dan’s teammates chose him for the honor of Most Valuable Player. In remembering the season, Dan says, “We had a wonder team and everyone on the team deserves to be recognized for that special season’s accomplishments.” Dan served as captain of the track team and also won the E Club Award for the person who had done the most for the organization during the previous year. Following high school, Dan attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison where he was in the ROTC program and a member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity. He graduated with a degree in business administration as a distinguished military graduate and commis-sioned officer in the U.S. Army. His military service included six months of active duty as a captain in the transportation corps and an additional seven and a half years in the reserves. Dan married Patricia Peterson in October 1958 and together they had four children: Mary, Elizabeth, Daniel and John, and now also have 13 grandchildren. Dan joined Cargill, Inc., a corporation based in Minneapolis but engaged in global agriculture and food processing in 80 countries and listed as the nation’s largest privately held company for nearly three decades. He progressed up the ranks, spending most of his career in grain merchandising/trading in the U.S. and abroad, before being named president of the Commodity Division in 1980, then president of Cargill International in 1985 and president of the Worldwide Agricultural Sector in 1990. Dan moved to Singapore as president of Cargill Asia Pacific in 1995 to oversee Cargill’s development and operations in 16 countries throughout the region. Along the way, he had to deal with grain embargos, an oil crunch and the Asian financial crisis. “It’s been a wild ride,” Dan said on his last day at Cargill, “but in the end, my work was my hobby because I’ve enjoyed the people and the business so much.” By the time Dan retired from the company in 2000, he was a member of the company’s six-person Office of the Chairman, directing global activity and growth. Throughout his career he was active in trade associations, including the National Grain and Feed Association, the Chicago Board of Trade (COBT) and the Southeastern Poultry & Egg Association. He also served for 15 years on committees of the Long Cove Club. He has earned the Distinguished Business Award from the University of Wisconsin-Madison Business School and the “Significant Sig” Award from Sigma Chi. Dan retained his COBT membership even into retirement, during which he has raised cattle at his Elk Pass Ranch in Colorado and buffalo at his farm in Redfield, South Dakota. He continues to enjoy outdoor activities, coaching, meeting with friends and family, watching Badger games and serving as a lector at St. Francis by the Sea Catholic Church. In his acceptance letter, Dan said, “Coach Wilke was a mentor and role model whose values and approach were a significant influence on my development and preparation for life. He taught us the fundamentals of competitiveness, team play, hard work, continuous improvement, to always do one’s best, and to win or lose with honor. Playing three sports under his coaching and leadership made my high school experience very special.” He continued, “I also recall Fr. Doherty’s address at our commencement ceremony included this inspirational quote which I have carried with me to this day: ‘Have the courage to be different.’”

He has completed 10 marathons and 10 half-marathons, has competed in the Crazylegs Run for 15 years, consistently finishing in the Top 25, was a Boston Marathon qualifier in 2010, a Wisconsin Ironman finisher in 2011 and 2012, and has also completed 7 half-Ironman triathlons. The Brauns have two children, Nicholas and Mason. David concludes, “There is not just one definitive moment that defines my overall experience at EHS. It is a collective feeling of so many experiences that define what being an Edgewood Crusader is all about. What is amazing is that to this day, when former teammates and coaches get together, we can all instantly flash back to that moment in time. We debate the lists of EHS all-time top lineups, top teams, top players, the list goes on and on. My most lasting impression, though, is the family environ-ment Edgewood instills. At the end of the day, the wins and losses, the stats and the awards all fade away, but the memory of time spent with teammates and the bond and mentorship developed with coaches is what lasts and what I remember most.”

GARY THORNTON EAA Athletic Hall of Fame Few coaches in Edgewood High School history can match Gary Thornton’s record of longevity and dedication to his athletes. In addition to his career as a physical education teacher at St. James School in Madison since 1974, Gary has been a coach of track and cross country teams for nearly four decades. Beginning in 1977, he coached the girls’ track and cross country teams at East High School before Edgewood was fortunate enough to hire him as coach for the Boys Track team in 1981. Two years later, he also started coaching the Girls Track Team and the Girls Cross Country Team, positions he holds to this day, though he has not coached the boys since 2008. Gary attended UW-Madison with the help of a four-year athletic grant for track. He lettered in cross country and track from 1966 to 1970 and earned the award for Most Improved Runner in track in 1968. In 1969 he received the Amateur Athletic Union All-America Award for his partici-pation on the 2-mile relay championship team in the California Relays held in Modesto. Gary completed his undergrad-uate degree in 1971, then worked for Madison Gas & Electric for a brief period before joining the faculty at St. James. He also earned a master’s degree from UW- Madison in 1976. While Gary was coaching at East High School, his Girls Track Team won the 1977 State Championship and Gary was named the Madison Pen and Mike Club/Bowman Sports Foundation Winning Coach. His coaching talent translated to the Edgewood teams as well. In the years that Edgewood competed in WISAA Division 1, 1983 –2000, girls won 40 individual championships in track and cross country. Among his notable runners were previous EAA Hall of Famers Molly McClimon Watcke ’89 and Lisa Junck MacDonald ’91, both of whom were named Wisconsin Female Track Athlete of the Year by Gatorade Circle of Champions/ Scholastic Coach Magazine. McClimon and Crusader boys runner, J. Kelley Delaney ’82, went on to earn collegiate Division 1 All-American honors, and Delaney was a member of the 1985 NCAA Wisconsin National Championship cross country team. The Edgewood girls have been represented in every State Track meet since joining the WIAA and have sent an individual to the State Cross Country meet in 2004 and 2005, with entire teams attending in the years 2010 through 2013. In 2014, Ave Grosenheider ’15 and Amy Davis ’15 made it to State cross country, where Amy won Edgewood’s first WIAA State Individual Champion title in the sport. In total, there have been seven Division 2 State individual titles and one State relay team championship since joining the WIAA. Gary has always been more likely to promote the achievements of the runners he coaches, but he has also earned numerous distinctions of his own. In 1998, the Wisconsin Track Coaches Association named Gary District 8 Coach of the Year. The Wisconsin Cross Country Coaches Association recognized him for leadership of Conference Championship awards in 2010, 2011, 2013 and 2014. The WCCCA also named Gary WIAA Division 2 Cross Country Coach of the Year in 2013 after his runners earned Conference, Sectional and State Champion titles. The Madison Sports Hall of Fame has twice cited Gary and his teams for Special Achievement: after taking the Division 2 State Team Championship in Girls Track in 2002, and again in 2013, for the Division 2 State Team Championship in Girls Cross Country. Edgewood High School recognized Gary for his service and commitment to the cross country and track programs following 30 years of service, a milestone he reached in 2011. Edgewood High School is proud to recognize Gary again and thankful for his many contribu-tions to the Crusaders athletic program. Gary and his wife, Kathleen, have been married for 45 years.

1990-1991 EDGEWOOD VARSITY BOYS HOCKEY WISAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM EAA Athletic Hall of Fame There was promise in the air as the Boys Hockey season started in Fall 1990. The solid core of eight senior skaters who headed the team had played on WISAA Championship teams of the three previous years and were hungry for an unprecedented fourth consecu- tive title. They were backed by a strong squad of ten juniors with eleven sophomores with three freshmen ready to move into the ranks. The Crusader force was led by coaches Ken Keryluk and Steve Rothering. Hopes and confidence continued to grow as the Crusaders repeatedly and decisively vanquished opponents by margins of five or more goals. The team’s only loss in a 27-1 season came late in regular season competition when Middleton skated off the ice with the win in a 3-2 heartbreaker. There were plenty of other highlights to celebrate however, including double defeats of Madison West and a pair of wins over Sun Prairie, one of which earned the Crusaders the Blue Line Championship. In the Midwest Tournament, the Crusaders continued their conquests, narrowly taking down Marist High School of Chicago in a 6-5 nail biter and then fending off another Illinois opponent, Mt. Carmel High School, 2-0 to capture the tournament title. They also brought back the title of IHSHL Champions. At the WISAA State Tournament, the Crusaders reasserted their authority and left Marquette out in the cold by turning in a definitive 5-2 win to take the Championship for the fourth time in as many years. Goal achieved, and then some. That wasn’t the end of the glory, though. The 1991 Crusaders were named Wisconsin’s top-ranked high school team and then shot into the National Sports News Service national rankings at the #4 position, the only Wisconsin team to make the Top 20. Of the team’s members, 11 went on to play college hockey, including three of them at Division 1 schools. It was a memorable season capped with distinguished recognition, and a true moment of pride for all in the Edgewood High School community.
