After getting off to a slow start the Football team bounced back and showed their true colors by win- ning the last six games of the season to end up with a 6-4 record against very strong competition. The team in my opinion was the best ever” football team at South Decatur, as can be supported by the many records that were set—Single Season rushing record by the team with 2329 yards for the season, Single game rushing record by team with 459 yards versus East Central. Also individual records fell as well, Mike Huber did it all setting a new single season in- dividual rushing record with 1019 yards plus in- dividual single game rushing record of 329 yards, single game scoring record of 32 points. Mike set all these records while missing two games with a broken arm. The team was very close knit and played with a great amount of pride in themselves and their team. Every victory was a team effort and every team member did his job. With each game the team gain- ed more confidence and improved tremendously. The quality of the team is evident in the fact S.D. lost a very hard fought game to eventual State Champ Lawrenceburg, 21-14, and S.D. could just as easily have won that game. Many athletes were honored at the Athletic Banquet for their achievements: Mike Huber MVP; and outstanding back, Kevin Hamer Paul Schwer- ing, Outstanding Offensive Lineman; Kevin Hamer Byron Baltus; Outstanding Defensive Lineman; Jim Gault Most Tackles and Most Defensive Points. All in all it was a very good season that all could be proud of and remember. Also Jim Gault and Kevin Hamer were named to the all-conference team. 6-4 Season S.D. Grid Iron varsity Football 25
