It was a long hard fought year for the 11th Marines Football program. Finishing with its best record since 1998 and being the #1 ranked team on base, with a Northern Division Title and two playoff victories. Yet still the big game seemed like a ghost in the mist as the Base Championship slipped out of the grasp of the team for the second straight year in a row. Despite all that, 14 Cannon Cockers were named 2003 Golden Helmet Awardees. Two of those in my mind were the players of the year and they were RB Larry Lawrence and DT Michael Teachey, even QB Steven Phelps name could be thrown in their accounting for 90% of the teams scoring, never the less the award went to two great players from MAG-39 in Gary Crosswhite and Brister Packer, congrats gentlemen.
Here are the 2003 Golden Helmets for this year team:
QB-Steven Phelps(rated #1 QB on base during regular season)
WR-Larry Lawrence(early POTY candidate),David White(2nd consecutive G.H.)
TE-Javier Rivera(1st year in the league)
OL-Mario Rodriguez, Mike Steinhower(also a newcomer)
DL-Michael Teachey(also up for POTY),Brian Meyer(Avg 3.5 sacks P.G.)
LB-Kevin Scheop (3rd G.H. Selcetion in two years, earned two at LB and TE, was also Rookie of the year 2002)
DB-Nate Willis (2nd consecutive G.H.), Anthony Parker (veteran & consecutive G.H. winner), Jeremy Knutson
Punter-Chad Morgan (Team Record 68 yard Punt)
KR-Kenneth Pless
Although some were in my mind missed or over looked from the team as they always are, i believe that everyone on our great team deserves one.

Well that wraps up another year of Cannon Cocker Football, thanks to all of you who have followed and supported us. I am sorry we let another title slip away but I can guarantee that next year we’ll be right back at it looking to bring it home one more time. Congrats to all who made the Golden Helmets and those who were missed, keep your heads up and thank you all for allowing me to coach and contribute to the rising of a great team.
Good Luck and Semper Fi.
