The Woon- socket Redmen successfully defended their P. F.C. Crown in the 1964 season. As the Red- men strode from the field afterscalping the Gann VaI ley Buffalos 47-13, they knew they had wrap- ped up their fifth straight conference title. That Parent's Night tilt was also the 26th consecutive win for the Redmen. The Big Red had several outstanding per- formers for the season: Jim Collignon, thestate's leading scorer; Ron Berens, Mr. Inside for the Red and White; Quarterback Darwin Reider, de- fensive end; Jim Larson, offensive center; and team leader in tackles, Terry Hendrick. This was a team that believed there was only one way to play, and that was to win! The Redmen defeated Beadle County Conference Champ Wessington 31 -0 to open the season. 14

IN EIGHT-MAN FOOTBALL Big Ron Berens puts his toe to the opening kickoff. Homecoming Game. All-Stater Jim Collignon races for another TD versus Kimball. t Three grim all-staters and their mentor: Ronald (Cassius) Berens, Terrence (Hoop the Stoop) Hendrick, James (The Man) Collignon, and Coach Ralph Weddle. Berens and Hendrick also served as co-captains. After knocking off Plankington in a hard-hit- ting contest the Redmen faced the Kimball Coyotes on Ki-Yi Day. The Redmen trailed 20-1 4at half but roared back to take a 39-20 decision. Coach Weddle's charges then swamped White Lake and Mt. Vernon by huge margins, and Doland in an 11 -man tilt. Woonsocket's defense contained the Wheelers' running attack while Jim Collignon carried the offensjve machine, and the Redmen were victors once more 13-6. The Redmen ended the season with impressive victories over Stickney, the Lincoln Loggers, and Gann Valley. The Redmen were selected the Number ONE Eight-Man Team in South Dakota by the Sports Department of the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader. 15
