Falcons perch on top of Litratings for 8 weeks G reat football teams have become a hallmark here and the 1977 squad was no exception Graduation losses and an 11-1 record made the previous season a tough act to follow, but an inexperienced team ma- tured quickly and demonstrated lots of desire and spirit that carried them through a fine season and made the Falcon followers proud. SHAWNEE — The first game of the 1976 season was on August 27, 1976 at Shaw- nee ' s home field. The young Falcons took little time to get things rolling. The team was off to an explosive start and totally de- feated the hapless Indians, 66-0 while using eight different players to cross the goal line. MALE — The Falcons invaded Manual Stadium for the first time of the season to meet the Bulldogs Again, the offense was in high gear, reeling off nine touchdowns one after another The BD machine did not stop until it had racked up 61 points while giving up only a two-point safety in the closing minutes The Falcons ate up a season high 272 yards on the ground while burying the out-manned Bulldogs by a final score of 61-2. WESTERN — In the first real test of the season, the team was to face county rival. Western, for the unofficial Dixie area championship After a slow start, the Falcons trailed the Warriors by 3-0 at the half But the omnipotent BD attack wound up with 551 yards total offense while scoring three second-half TD ' s enroute to a 19-3 beating of the Rockford Green. IROQUOIS — At Pleasure Ridge Park, the Black White squared off against a vast- ly improved Iroquois squad The team dem- onstrated a devastating aerial attack, hitting on 20 of 31 passes for a season high of 306 yards The defense again re- mained tough, picking off two Raider passes and. for the fourth straight time, did not allow a touchdown. A total team effort wielded a 32-0 decision After accepting the handoff. fullback. David Lally. is stopped by a tough St X defense BELOW Sidelined after a knee operation, defensive halfback.

DESALES — On September 25th. the Fal- cons landed at Iroquois Stadium to face Catholic rival. OeSales. in the annual Keg Game The spunky Colts could try only in vain to undermine the hopes of the Falcon forces as BD ripped its way to a 25-0 shellacking and a perfect 5-0 record ATHERTON — The surprising Rebels were well-prepared for this first District match against the proud Black White The Falcons had to scrap for every inch of ground and the defensive team had to pick up to hold Atherton until the offense could get going When the smoke cleared. BD pre- vailed 14-0 BUTLER — The neighborhood rival. Butler Bears, were not exactly having a good season, but as always, they were primed and ready for a good stiff fight against the unbeaten Falcons. A mere 7 points was all BD could muster against a stingy Butler team in the first half, but a third quarter explosion buried the home-standing Bears 26-0 A super goal-line stand held Butler for 7 plays inside the five-yard line before a runner could penetrate the goal line for only the first time in seven games against the Falcon defense The final score showed the Falcons easy victors at 26-7 DOSS — One of the most thrilling game in recent years took place before 2 500 screaming fans at the Doss High Stadium. It was an afternoon to remember when former BD assistant coach, Dan Leasor. sent ' ! his inspired Dragons against the No 1 -rated Falcons BD scored early after a Doss miscue. but from then on the game was a defensive struggle with neither team able to take an advantage With 11 36 remain- ing in the game, a Dragon pass found the end zone and the game was knotted at 7 a piece Regulation play ended and the school experienced its first overtime garne »• 38 FOOTBALL
