JavelinaJavelina Hash Hash By Fred Nuesch, Coordinator of Athletic External Affairs ONE OF THE highlights of the sports year will come Nov. 15 when the Javelina Hall of Fame inducts its newest members. Four individuals and three teams will become a part of a Hall that includes some of the most successful coaches and athletes in the history of college athletics. The individual inductees are Sheila Dotson, a two-sport standout in the early 2000s; Cal Hutzler, a football player when the Javelinas had just come under the direction of coaching newcomer Gil Steinke; Ed LaTouf, an All-America football player during the late 1980s, and Anthony Phillips, who was a standout All-American in track and field as well as football. The teams are the 1969 and 1970 track and field units and the 1991-92 men’s basketball squad. Both track and field teams won Lone Star Conference championships and finished fourth in the NAIA national meet in 1969. The 1991-92 basketball team won the first-ever LSC title for the Javelinas and finished third in the NCAA Division II regional playoffs. The Javelina Hall had its first inductions in 1972 and has been a model for other colleges. THE JAVELINA FOOTBALL team makes its final road trip this weekend and it’ll be the shortest of the season.
