Team Compiles Second Unmarred Record The members of the 1969 gridiron gang exemplified the Bulldog spirit as they extended their undefeated streak to 26 games as well as making an enviable contribution to OHS athletic history. Seven victories and two heartbreaking ties were recorded by the 42-man squad of Coaches Gordon and Workman. On the roster were listed nine seniors, eight juniors, eleven sophomores, and fourteen freshmen who earned their school the second-place conference football honors. For the second consecutive season state recognition was also achieved; the Bulldog’s final status was number nine. In addition to the near-perfect varsity record the B-team, too, was able to remain unbeaten. Behind a powerful running game coupled with a tenacious defense, the Osceola team enjoyed much crowd support at all games. The backfield, using a combination of power and speed, accounted for nearly 2100 rushing yards and a total team average of over 5 yards gained per carry. The defense, too, was a major factor as it held the opposition to 937 yards and five points a game. Individually, the Bulldogs also received a number of honors; five boys were elected to the annual Golden-rod Conference team. Seniors Leo Potter, Marvin Simonsen, and Evan Wieseman were awarded offensive positions; defensive spots were held by Wieseman and juniors Dick Wyman and Lynn Boden.

Cagers Display Constant Determination Coach Don Bartek’s 1969-70 OHS basketball team compiled a mediocre season record of nine victories and 10 defeats. Plagued by injuries to top men throughout the year the Bulldogs, however, managed to bring home the third place Goldenrod Conference tournament trophy. In addition, the team finished in a tie for third place in league standings with its 4-3 record. Thirty-seven boys reported for workouts each evening; before pre-season squad adjustments were made this was one of the largest groups ever to participate in the prorgam at Osceola High School. Final team statistics revealed that the Bulldogs maintained a 39% shooting accuracy, a 64% free throw average, and grabbed a total of 774 rebounds. Contributing to their season percentage were seniors Duane Gabriel and Byron Nelson who were named to the all-conference second team; Jerry Cerny, also a senior, was awarded an honorable mention position. Under assistant coach Gary Workman, the B-team was led to the end of a very successful season, writing an impressive 13-2 record. Class B teams provided the underclassmen with their only losses. Also this year the freshman players competed in five games, including their annual Genoa tournament at which they received the third place laurels; four victories and one defeat were tabulated.
