Torzon. D. Dohmen, J. Under second year head coach Jed Rood, the fighting Discoverers compiled the best football record since 1964: six wins, two loses and one tie. With only four lettermen returning, CHS was predicted to have a two and seven season. Leadership by the seniors and top effort by the underclassmen proved this to be wrong. Top rivals Fremont, Big Ten Champion, and Grand Island inflicted the only two loses. The Discoverers finished with the best record in the Big Ten Conference. They upset Lincoln East, the seventh rated team in the state, in the Homecoming game and tied Beatrice, the tenth rated team. Two of the most exciting games of the year were against Omaha Bryan and Norfolk. With one minute and ten seconds left in the Bryan game, a fourth down and fourteen situation, Stu Bullington connected with Neil Klutman on a pass for the winning touchdown. In a similar situation against Norfolk, being fourth and twenty-nine with twenty-five seconds left to play, Stu Bullington again threw a pass, this time to Mike Tigges, who raced in for the winning score.
