Career Records
Willie Harper (1991)

Biography

No Fremont football player earned more recognition and set more records than the class of 1991s Willie Harper. A three-year varsity standout, and a member of two league championship teams, Willie shattered school, league, and section records at running back. As a junior Willie earned All-CCS honors, and 2nd Team All-State. As a senior Willie was named the CCS player of the year by the San Jose Mercury News, and was named a 1st Team All-State running back by Cal-Hi Sports Magazine. Willie’s 4,531 yards rushing, bested the previous Fremont mark by almost 2,000 yards. His 62 career scores are also a school record, 31 ahead of the nearest competitor.

Daryl Sadowski (1989)

Biography

Daryl Sadowski played in more games than any other Fremont Indian, 33 over a 3-year span, and put together an impressive string of statistical benchmarks. A consistent performer as a three-year varsity player, Darryl averaged 9 yards every time he touched the ball. His ability as a return man complemented his skills as a running back and receiver out of the backfield. Darryl’s finest moment might have been in the 1988 3A 1st Round Playoff game versus Branham, when he returned a punt for a touchdown, a kickoff for a score, and also ran one in as a running back. Darryl earned 2nd Team All-CCS honors in 1988.

Greg Hooper (1979)

Biography

Hooper was the last in a string of great Indian tailbacks in the 1970’s. Hooper’s dominating 1978 season was only the second time a Fremont back cracked the 1,000-yard milestone. In a nine game campaign, Hooper rushed for 1,100 yards and scored 9 touchdowns. An outstanding athlete, and student as well, Hooper earned a scholarship to Stanford University. While a fullback at Stanford, Hooper played in the same backfield with such Stanford greats as Darrin Nelson and John Elway. Like Armer and Harper, Hooper also earned All-CCS honors in 1978 as running back (as did offensive tackle Greg Reiley).

Rick Armer (1975)

Biography

The 1974 football team put up some impressive numbers, a 7-1 record, a share of the league championship, and the statistical exploits of running back Rick Armer. An amazing ability to score touchdowns in bunches, and nearly gaining a first down on every carry, Armer’s 1974 campaign was one of the most dominant in school history. The highlight of that season came versus the Sunnyvale Jets, when Armer tallied 6 rushing touchdowns, setting a league mark that would survive for more than 15 years. Armer was also an outstanding basketball and baseball player for the Indians. Along with teammate Keith Burcham, Armer was an All-CCS performer in 1974.

Mitch Mariani (1982)

Biography

A workhorse at running back, as a junior in 1980, Mariani was the third Fremont running back to reach 1,000 yards. His 208 carries are the most for a Fremont back not named Harper. After a promising start to his senior year, Mariani suffered a season ending injury. In 1980 the San Jose Mercury News named Mariani to its All-CCS 2nd team, and the DAAL coaches honored him with the Most Valuable Back Award.

In a game versus Mountain View for the league title, Powell gained over 300 yards, and scored 3 touchdowns. Jerrick earned accolades from the Mercury News and from the SCVAL El Camino Division coaches as well, the Mercury naming him a Special Mention All-CCS performer, and the Most Valuable Player Award from league coaches.
