Everyone knows that if you don’t win the first game VARSITY RECORD SCORE you don’t win them all. The first game proved to be US THEM the hardest or at least the closest of the season. It LeRoy sparked the first unbeaten and untied season in 20 16-13 years. The team was only the third to do this in the Mahomet-Seymour history of F.D. football. Chants of “We’re No. 1” and 12- 0 “We are best Around” were to be heard at every game. Mansfield There were so many Tartar fans that Fairbury’s side of 52- 8 the field was always jam-packed. Why even the bleach- Deercreek-Mackinaw ers collapsed at Heyworth because of the number of 37-14 people. Heyworth This was our first year in the Sangamon Valley Con- 41- 0 ference and were given a dark horse ticket which later Farmer City materialized into a first place trophy. We were extreme- (Homecoming) 12- 0 ly strong defensively and exceptional in the scoring Deland-Weldon department. We were rated 9th in the state for schools 22 0 under 500 and two players Jeff Grace and Warren Cox Fischer received a special mention and honorable mention res- 42-20 pectively in the state. The season was a real tribute to Octavia Coaches Feely and Winn who put in a tremendous 28- 0 amount of time and effort in coaching some of the best players this school has seen in a long time. 22
