Each year incentives are offered to motivate the

her 1/2 hour of teaching time. Congratulations Abby and thank you

Three-3HDWIRU.QLJKWV¶)RRWEDOO
By Brent Kucera, head coach
The 2013 season was another one to remember with a lot
of great memories and lessons learned. From the first
game of the season to the last game, I would say that we
were a completely different team. Players figured out their
roles and did what was needed for the team. One of the
highlights of our season was beating Cathedral in triple
overtime at the Homecoming game; this is a game that will
always be remembered! Other highlights included winning
our second straight Conference Championship which was a
huge accomplishment. Prior to this, it had been 37 years
VLQFH6W0DU\¶VKDGZRQRQH)HZ.QLJKWVIDQVZLOOIRU
get the amazing way we won our state quarterfinal game
against Lester Prairie/Holy Trinity with a score of 20-14.
We drove 90 yards in 10:38 and ended the game on the 1yard line without scoring. It was also a great accomplishment to get to play in the Dome before it was torn down. It
was incredible to see the team running around on the field
two hours before the game. We were the only ones on the
field. Those are memories the team will never forget.
Coach Matt Andres and 'XVW\ 0DQJHQ ¶ have
really changed the mentality of St. Mary's football. Coach
0DUN6LPRQ¶ has helped to turn the lineman around.
We averaged 215 pounds on the front line. The linemen
were led by senior Andy Steffl, son of 'DQ ¶ and
Lisa, who was a scoring threat as well. He had a receiving
TD and an interception for a TD. That is impressive considering he is 6'4" and 260 pounds. It was great to see a
player actually wanting to be a lineman now and not just a
QB. That shows how much Simon has done.
All of the recent success has been great to be part of. I
still look back to the 2011 season and give that senior
class credit for getting this program on the right track.
They gave this program the motivation and confidence it
needed to reach its potential. Shortly after our last game
this year, the team was in the weight room already working for next season. We are setting high goals for ourselves again. We will be a senior dominated team. It is up
to them to get this team motivated for another great season!
Our coaches and players amassed many well-deserved
awards. Andrew Steffl earned the title of Lineman of the
Year, Play of the Year (pick 6 vs. Springfield during playoffs), the Charlie Hale Award, All Conference and All
Journal Team. Junior Carter Krzmarzick, son of Clint
¶ and Kelly, was awarded Defense MVP, Leadership,
All Conference and All Journal Team. Junior David Surprenant, son of Scott and Judy, was awarded Offense
MVP, All Conference and All Journal Team. He also had
a career game with 250 yards on 34 carries. Senior Mike
Hirsch, son of 7RP ¶ and 6KDURQ 6LPRQVHQ ¶,
was awarded the Charlie Hale Award and All Conference
Honorable Mention. Senior Nathan Lax, son of Randy
and Diane, and juniors Lucas Heiderscheidt, son of
7HUU\¶ and Shelly, and Brandon Helget, son of Bill
¶ and -HQQ\ %UDXOLFN ¶, were also named All
Conference, with senior John Brandl, son of Doug and
Deb (Schueller ¶76), as All Conference Honorable Mention. Helget was also included in the All Journal Team.
Sophomore Kodan Kosak, son of *DU\¶ and Shelly
*URHEQHU¶, was named Most Improved, while junior
Cody Gilliland, son of Rick and /RUL 0HUW] ¶, was
Rookie of the Year.

Sister Kay Wagner
Many of you may remember her as Sister Kay Francis.
Sister Kay resides in La Quinta, California. However, last
summer, %ULDQ ¶ and &KULV 0H\HU ¶ %UDXQ were
fortunate enough to schedule a visit with Sister Kay while
she was at Assisi Heights the same week Brian had a doctor
appointment in Rochester.
Sister Kay was Brian
DQG &KULV¶ IDYRULWH
teacher and she remembers them vividly, excited to hear they married. Reminiscing as they
paged through the school
scrapbooks that Brauns
brought along, Sister Kay
fondly remembered her
students, as she wondered where they were
and what they were doSister Kay, Brian & Chris Braun.

Thank you to Brian and Chris for providing this opportunity to update everyone on Sister Kay Francis and her years

What grade did you teach and when? I felt so blessed to

Grade School in Sleepy Eye. The first two years I was there
(1972-1974), I taught second grade. The first year I taught
in a traditional classroom. The second year, Mrs. Lillian

of mine was very special. All of the teachers and staff were
so good to work with. We developed a great support system
filled with much sharing, fun, and dedication.
What is one of your fondest memories from your time
here? ,WLVYHU\GLIILFXOWWRQDPH³a´IRQGHVWPHPRU\IURP

One of the big highlights for sure was the opportunity to
design, work on and build an ungraded, open classroom
that provided the children with opportunities to be so creative and individually challenged to move through the years

and I were able to be available and had the opportunity to
provide guidance and assistance to each individual child
according to his/her needs. The whole experience was so
exciting and fun and fulfilling for teachers and students
alike.

The impact that St.
0DU\¶V KDV KDG RQ P\
life has been and continues to be very powerful.
First of all, for many of
us Sisters, I think, the
first place we minister at
IS our favorite place! I
know that is true for me.
The memories stay so
vividly alive. Being a
teacher is absolutely the
best experience if one ever changes careers. I became a
social worker after my teaching experience not because I
GLGQ¶W OLNH WHDFKLQJ EXW EHFDXVH , ZDV EHLQJ HGXFDWHG WR
be a social worker before I was asked to teach so I said yes
and took a break for 8 years to teach in Sleepy Eye, and
then went back to continue my studies to finish my education to be a social worker. Even in Social Work and Pastoral Counseling, I always would draw on the skills and
experience of being a teacher. God blessed me abundantly
to lead me to a very unexpected reality of being a teacher.
I thank God that I was gifted with the experience of teaching the most wonderful children and living in a very, very
special place, Sleepy Eye, and working with the greatest
staff and people in our parish. I hold you all in love and
prayer. May God bless each and every one of you. Many
thanks for who you are and how you blessed my life.

fishing and spending time with his family.
His presence in the office, hallways and lunchroom, as well as the kitchen, will be missed, but not forgotten. May God
bless him now and always. He has been a faithful servant. May Jesus Christ be praised in all we do and are.
