Devils Come On Strong; Finishing With 7-2 Record Pre-season ratings of 1 were no help to PHS as it came back from losses to Auburn and Elkhorn to win the last four games and finish the season 7-2. Twenty seniors and twenty-one returning lettermen made for a strong founda- tion. The Devils opened their season with a win over Blair. The following week, however, PHS lost its 1 rating and the dreams of an undefeated season in a painful 10-7 loss to Auburn. Coach Bob Fuller brought his team back to win two in a row over Fair- bury and Gretna before dropping his second loss to undefeated Elkhorn. Once again, the Devils had to pull together after a tough loss, and they were up to the test. Plattsmouth racked up three straight wins against Norris, Waverly, and Platteview before traveling to Nebraska City for the final game of the year. After defeating Nebraska City in overtime the previous year, the Devils had to dig deep again for final win. Plattsmouth came back from 13-23 deficit to finish on top 25-23. Center Doug Heim. Split End Jeff John- son. Guard Mike Ondrak, and Quarterback Jim Heim take a well- deserved rest. 28
