McManus, Pidermann To Be Co-Captains

Since he's been back in Hanover, Dartmouth coach Buddy Teevens has waited until the end of spring football to hold the vote for football captains. But with an important offseason of strength training and conditioning ahead, Teevens has opted to have captains and leaders in place over the winter.

Elected by their teammates were:

• Offensive Captain: Receiver/quarterback Tim McManus, a junior next fall
• Defensive Captain: Safety/returner Pete Pidermann, a senior next fall

The captains will be joined by a "Leadership Group," from each class. Chosen were:

• Juniors: Safety Tony Pastoors, quarterback Alex Jenny, tight end Carroll Papajohn, (senior) safety Kyle Cavanaugh
• Sophomores: Defensive end Alex Charles Bay, offense lineman Alex Wodka, linebacker Matt Oh (Sorry Charles. Too many Alexes on the brain ;-)
  
• Freshmen: Corner Shawn Abuhoff, linebacker Aaron Limonthas

Green Alert Take: The choices for co-captains are terrific. The decision to choose captains (and the Leadership Group) at this point can only help the team during a long and critically important offseason for the Big Green.
