Kicking his way to fame, Frank Conner who won recognition from Sports Illustrated, with the help of Dennis Gray, holder, etches a state record of booting four field goals against North Miami. UNDEFEATED!! Enthusiam runs rampant as fans feel the ecstasy of victory. Fans, team, and cheerleaders whoop it up sharing the soaring of the Eagles to celestial heights as twelfth in the state of Indiana. crowds thunder, roar as eagle IRONMEN twelfth in state As the clock ticked off :03, :O2, :O1, :0O, a roar exploded, the season smashed to an end with the scoreboard reading Oak Hill 46, Eastbrook 0. The crowd thun- dered their approval with, Undefeated. Number one defensive team. Twelfth in the State. While the fans roared, applauded, cheered, the team carried their Coach, Jim Law, off the field to the locker room. However two worlds existed in those moments . . . the happy jubiliant world of the fans . . . the sad wistful world of the players. Although the Golden Eagle ironmen wrapped up the conference title by de- feating the Southwood Knights 59 to 7 two weeks earlier, the only team to score against them, and had forged to a perfect record of nineteen consecutive wins, the dressing room wasn't all laughter and cheers after the game. A feeling of sadness gripped the team who broke all records, who met every challenge, and who were now champs. This was the final game. They should feel the ecstasy of winning a battle, but they were sad, no longer would the tie of teamwork hold them together as a unit. For this final moment they wanted to hold onto this feeling of oneness of unity, of a team. Coach jim Law finally said, I haven't been tossed in the shower yet. We're champions! Celebrate like champs! The dam burst, and cheers, laughter, and tears filled the lockerroom. The moment of sentimentality left in its place the excitement for an old fash- ioned bonfire celebration that captured the spirit of both the fans and the team. So ends another football season with victory all over the scoreboards and in 1970 in the tie of teamwork. varsity football 69
