Marg, Brad (All-State Team - 1977)

Brad Marg, Neillsville’s senior defensive lineman, has been named Honorable Mention on United Press International’s All-State team.

The All-Cloverbelt Conference player was also named to the first team in the defensive line for the Channel 7 All-Star Team by WSAU-TV of Wausau, and to the second team defense for the All-Northwest Football Team sponsored by the Eau Claire Leader Telegram.

The 6-1, 215-pound senior was nominated by Coach Harlen Sunsdahl based on three year’s of work. “This year we had other linemen who did good, but I took three years into account,” said Sunsdahl. “I think he earned what he got through all the weight training, running, and yearly summer football camps he’s put in,” he said.

Marg, captain of the 1977 Warrior squad which won the Eastern Cloverbelt, has earned three varsity letters in football. A part-time starter for the 1975 State Title team and a regular ever since, Sunsdahl tagged him “an extremely strong, physical and rugged player.”

Marg is the fourth consecutive Warrior to receive All-State notices. Roger Huth was an honorable mention in 1976, and Jeff Vine was named to the first team and John Donahue to the second in 1975.

Said Sunsdahl, “The best compliment I can give him, is that a coach very much admires loyalty from a boy towards his coach and program. Brad exemplifies this best.”

Dave Dux, Neillsville’s 1,000-yard gaining running back, was Honorable Mention on the offensive teams if both All-Northwest and the Channel 7 All-Stars.
