The Buffs carried off one of their best season's ever. Their record wasn't outstanding because of a few star players, instead it was fantastic because they were an entire team that had the desire to succeed. As Coach Hiester said, The trademark of the Buffs this year was the dramatic improvement of the whole team. Improvement was a good word to describe the Buffs' football season. With every game, the Buffs became stronger and improved from the following game. They built confidence in themselves and this confidence resulted in the form of victories. The victory against Overland was probably the most exciting game the Buffs played in their regular season. Both teams were strong and both played well. But there was no denying the excellence of the Buffs and Smoky Hill triumphed. It was definitely a big win for them. Some of the exceptional players included Terry Jones who played defensive end, Jeff Knabenshue who played half back, and Brad Robinson who played the position of defensive tackle. These three players added strength to the team. But it was a team effort used in winning the games. The Buffs had a winning season not because of a few outstanding players, but because many young men set goals for themselves and reached them, Coach Hiester concluded. 184 Football Buffs Dominate Smoky Hill first down against Hinkley.
