1969 Eagles football

Success on the gridiron had eluded us. Our first year, we played B-Team ball only. We fielded a varsity squad in 1968…

Despite their heart and efforts, that team was winless.

The next year, 1969-1970, was radically different!

A Winning Season

Playing with mostly the same players under new Coach Phil Knight, our Eagles defeated six of ten opponents. What a year; what a team!

Each member of that team was a standout. Still, the team leaders included Larry Harrison, Jimmy Bennett, Gary Titshaw, Andy Godwin, Billy Harvey, Jack Head, Jimmy Payne, Glynn Harrison, and Steve Pogge.
