Four returning lettermen, David DeCamp, Harlan Weingart, Jerry Wyatt, and Douglas furnished the experience. Freshmen and inexperienced upper classmen were called upon to play leading rolls from the very first game. The freshmen lettermen who were called upon for leading rolls were: Duane Suckstorf, Mike Sullivan, Mickey Anson, Larry Sparr, and Rodger Nelson. Other upper classmen who lettered are Billy Green, and Ronnie Zierke. Meadow Grove felt their lack of experienced depth when in contact with some competitors who were heavy on experienced upper classmen. Noting the progress from the first game with Platte Center to the final with Oakdale, it was evident that the next years are going to balance the losses Meadow Grove suffered while gaining valuable experience.
