Football Coaches Under the tutelage of these coaches, the Blue Devils captured their sec- ond Central Ohio League championship in two years. They, along with the team, gave the. fans and students one of the most exciting seasons in many years, climaxed by a final game triumph over a hard-fighting Lancaster squad. Beginning in mid-Au- gust, the coaches began the grueling practice sessions that conditioned and pol- ished the team into the precision machine that took the title. Besides guiding the squad on the field, they serve as counselors and character builders for many of the players dur- ing and after the football season.
