An Improvised Team—A Winning Season ABOVE: Cleveland Johnson’s front door is clear as he heads for the goal line. RIGHT: Steve Connor comes up with the ball as his Buckingham opponents chase him. In this game, the Dukes de- feated Buckingham 34 to 0. 1978 proved to be a winning season for the Dukes as they posted a 6-3 record and placed second in the James River District. Part of this success arose from the fact that the team was under the direction of a new head coach, Mickey Lantz, who has a lot of insight into football and athletics. Coach Lantz along with Coach Buddy Martin really improved the overall team in skill as well as coordinating the winning spirit. The players practiced long hard hours for they were determined to win. This season was an overwhelming improvement over last year which saw the Dukes falling short with nine losses. This year, after their first game with Central of Lunenburg, the Dukes celebrated their first victory in three years! This was the first year that Buckingham had fallen to Cumberland since 1966, and the first time that the Dukes had ever defeated Powhatan in the his tory of sports. Twelve members made the all-area, eight members made all-district, three members made all-regional, and two members were honored on the all-state team. RIGHT: Lonnie Foster tries to swing around his opponent in the game with Buckingham. LEFT: Steve Connor makes a touchdown pass and helps Cumberland win in the Goochland game rounding up the score 15 to 14. BELOW: Its a tight game against Buckingham but the ball re- mains in the hands of the Dukes.
