2007 Bronco Football Banquet...


The Western Michigan Bronco Football team held it's annual Football banquet Sunday December 9th inside the downtown Kalamazoo Radisson hotel.

The list of awards goes like this:

John Gill Award: Anthony Gephart

Mike Gary Award: Nick Saad

Community Service Award: James Blair

Outstanding Special Teams: Jim Laney

Outstanding Offensive Player: Brandon West

Outstanding Defensive Player: Anthony Gephart

Outstanding Team Player: Jamarko Simmons

A very eventful banquet filled with alot of promise from next season. These seniors had been through alot after going 1-10 in their first season at WMU.

Coach Bill Cubit it seemed couldn't thank them enough for their support and unwavered professionalism within the program.

He talked about how just under 30 guys had less than 2.0 averages when he took over and now 34 have over 3.0...which is really an incredibly statistic considering the amount of tutoring that was available then and still is now.

This banquet centered on the Seniors and what they have done for the program but it also looked forward to next season and getting the underclassman fired up for 2008.

If you were sitting in the banquet room at the Radisson you had to get a feeling that the players are expecting special things in 2008 and it began Sunday night with sending the Seniors off.

Should be a fun year in 2008 for Bronco fans.
