Very excited to wake up to the newspaper stating Tyler had made "dream team" for linebacker as well as for Class 5A!! Dream team was voted on by 38 area coaches. Class 5A - just the area. Awesome news for Tyler...just another reminder of how great of a season he had.
Excerpt from the article:
High school football: Cavemen lead Tribune's Dream Team
By MATT KOPSEA
Tribune Staff Writer
The Mishawaka High football team proved this season it was no one-hit wonder.
In addition to making it back-to-back Northern Indiana Conference and Class 5-A sectional championships, the Cavemen (12-1) also enjoyed their first undefeated regular season since 1980.
Just like a year ago, area coaches were impressed enough with Mishawaka to choose six players on The Tribune's 2010 Dream Team.
Leading the way for the Cavemen is senior offensive guard Michael Curtis, who achieved the high mark with 18 out of a possible 36 votes.
A two-time Dream Team member, the 6-foot-5, 310-pound Ohio University bound Curtis is the son of Mishawaka head coach Bart Curtis.
“We have rushed for 8,000 yards the last two seasons with most of it behind our left side where Michael plays,” said Coach Curtis. “He's a tremendous athlete who understands the game and what it's like to be part of a football family. Michael has definitely been a pleasure to work with both as a coach and a dad.”
Joining Curtis on the 23-man squad are senior defensive tackle Sebastian Cameron, senior defensive end Roberto Martinez, senior linebacker Tyler Reinoehl and senior defensive backs D.J. Strohl and Ben Versyp.
“All of these kids are team players with good football instincts,” said Coach Curtis, whose club lost 21-14 to Valparaiso in the regional final. “Everyone was on board with what we were trying to accomplish. That's the reason we had success and made it as far as we did.”
