Individual efforts were also apparent during the '69 season, Senior tailback Tim Roewert was credited with 1,211 offensive yards while scoring 98 points. His per- formance gained him All-State Honorable Mention inthe Omaha World-Herald, Cap- tain Ed Dubas was the team defensive leader with 99 tackles, Senior center Terry Imus was credited with 73 tackles, Dubas won the weekly Head-Hunter defensive award four times, Imus wonthe award three times, 1969 SEASON REVIEW Opponent Loup City 6 Ravenna 16 Centura Genoa Shelton Wood River Gibbon David City Burwell Denotes Lou-Platte Conference Games Coach Barry Miller huddles with senior quarter- back George Palmer during a time-out at Loup City.
