Fall Sports Info
Seven Generals Hockey Players have experienced success on the AW Fall Sports Teams. Five are members of the Soccer Teams, a Football player and a member of the Golf Team.
Senior Zach Tansel is described by Varsity Soccer Coach Chip Smith as "a key contributor" as a Defensive Back for the Generals who are in the Top 10 of the Division 1 State Rankings. Zach was a First Team All Blue Division Defenseman in 2007-08 for the Hockey Generals. Junior Robert Witte, who is recovering from an ankle injury, is a key reserve for the Varsity Soccer Team. He expects to return to action in the second round of the state tournament. Sophomore Zach Ulrich played Forward on Junior Varsity until being moved up to the Varsity. Zach scored a goal for the Generals in the State First Round Game against Waite. Sophomore Michael Witte was another member of the Junior Varsity Soccer Team as a Outside Middle Forward. Michael was one of the JV's leading scorers this season. Finally Sophomore Chloe Spencer, the Second Team All NHC Blue Division Goal Tender, played Goalie (What else!) for the Generals Girls Junior Varsity Soccer Team. The team went 8-2-2 during the 2008 season and Chloe was in the net for every game.
Sophomore Center/Wing John Vollmar was a member of the Generals Football Squad. John, a defensive lineman, dressed for the Varsity games and played in two games. He was a regular in the middle of the JV's defensive line and returned an interception for a touchdown. We understand that John has "trimmed down" to 185 pounds and is in great condition.
Last, but not least, Sophomore Trevor Pieh was a member of the NLL Champion Generals Junior Varsity Golf Team. He carded an excellent season long average in the low forties for nine holes.

The first Varsity Scrimmage is coming up fast against Clay on Sunday November 9th at 4:00 PM. The scrimmage will be at the Team Toledo Ice House on Alexis Road. Clay is expected to be a serious contender for the White Division Championship this season.
Captains' practices continue on Mondays and Wednesdays and we have seen several new faces for the upcoming season. Goaltender and 2-time Letterman Senior Dan Koralewsi returns after backstopping the National Tournament participants Toledo Cherokee (U-16) last season. His teammate last season, and a 3 year Jr. General, Sophomore Forward Zach Ulrich begins his first AW season. He is currently playing on the Generals' Soccer Team. Senior F/D Adam Ankenbrandt who has played 2 years as a Jr. General and also previously spent time as Varsity and Jr. Varsity player for the Generals rejoins the 2008-09 team.
Sophomore and 3 year Jr. General Forward Chris Watkins joins the team after playing for the Monroe Jr. Ice Hawks last season. Sophomore and 2 Year Jr. General Trevor Pieh starts with the team after playing basketball last winter. Freshman Forward Aaron Podbielniak, a former Maple Leaf and Cherokee travel team member joins former Maple Leaf Travel Team player Matt Trautlein who can play Forward, Defense and can also play Goalie. Finally, Freshman and 3 year Jr. General F/D Michael Kaptur who has had Travel experiences for the Maple Leafs and BG Youth Hockey should add plenty of spark to the Generals.
This group will be added to at least 21 returning players from last year's Varsity and JV Teams. Additionally, the players, who will play this season, have accumulated over 80 years of Jr. Generals playing experience. There is more...it is expected that at least 13 Jr. Generals 8th graders will be ready to play for AW next season.
