Puppies Prove Powerful! Puppies proved powerful in the 1982 Football Season. Coaches and team worked well together to make the year a success. Mr. Rick Smith commented that the entire team was outstanding. He stated, From the first day of practice to the very last hour, they worked hard together and played hard together.
