Freshmen Hold Opponents Scoreless In 1983 The 1983 Freshmen Tigers football team put their names in the record books as they went the entire season without surrendering a single point. The Freshmen started their season at the Belleville West Jamboree, which is always a challenge because the Tigers play much larger schools. However, in spite of the odds, Dupo was unbeaten by their three opponents-Belleville West White, Belleville West Maroon and the Sparta Bulldogs. The Dupo Jamboree followed and once again the Freshmen won over three opponents. Waterloo, Madison and Pinck-neyville fell to the fighting Tigers. Regular season play began with a victory over the Central Cougars, followed by an easy win over the Waterloo Bulldogs. A tougher challenge appeared to be with Triad, a traditionally hard to beat team. However, the Tigers forgot about the Knights’ tradition and went on to win their ninth game of the season. The squad’s next opponents were the Madison Trojans, a team the Tigers faced in the Dupo Jamboree. Once again, our Freshmen were victorious. The Freeburg Midgets were the only team that could keep the Freshmen Tigers from having an undefeated season. This final match of the season was played in the rain and in almost total darkness. The game ended in a 0-0 tie, leaving the Freshmen with an unbeaten, unscored on record for 1983. This winning squad was coached by Robert Mason and Jon Rehg. Cocaptains were Jeff Plunkett and Mike Ryan. Young Tiger claws his way for more yardage. 1983 Freshman Football Schedule Belleville West Jamboree Regular Season Belleville West Maroon Won 16-0 Central Won 30-0 Belleville West White Won 16-0 Waterloo Won 33-0 Sparta Won 8-0 Triad Won 22-0 Dupo Jamboree Madison Won 20-0 Pinckneyville Won 14-0 Freeburg Tie 0-0 Madison Won 16-0 Waterloo Won 8-0 SPORTS 19
