Six Grizzlies named to All-Conference Butler County ' s Grizzly football team began the 1978 football season with high hopes and a new head football coach in Fayne Henson, who came to Butler County from Garden City after spend- ing five years as the offensive coordinator for the Broncbusters. With a young team and the slot-I offense, Butler County got off to a quick start with im- pressive wins over Pratt in the season opener by a score of 38-7 and Haskell by an overwhelming 40-0 margin. Butler County picked up its first loss of the season in its third game when Fort Scott dumped the Grizzlies 39-21 . The Grizzlies cele- brated a homecoming which included a victory by its football team by beating the Conquista- dors of Dodge City 17-8. Following that, the bottom fell out for Butler since it lost its final six games of the season. The final 3-7 record equaled the record of a year earlier, while the six game losing streak was the worst for Butler County since the 1960 season when the Grizzlies lost their final eight games of the season. On November 17 all the coaches from the Jayhawk JuCo Conference gathered to choose the all-conference teams. Six Grizzly football players made either first team, second team or honorable mention. Dion Fellows and Ron Fellows were the only Grizzlies to make first team as both were named to first team offense. Ed Sker l and Darryl Boucher were named to second team defense. Brad Hogland was named honorable mention on defense. Steve Markwell received honorable mention as a kicker. D. Fellows ::MMLfk gws] ■ I . h.
