Old Football Pictures

🏆 1966 Dayton Greendevils - Kentucky Class A State Champions with Coach Ray King at Davis Field.

The story of the day ~ "Dayton Tips Russellville 6-2 On A Blocked Punt"

Olin W Davis* Field today - one of the best places to watch football in the Commonwealth.

* Davis was hired by Dayton to coach football in 1928. As Principal in 1933, the Northern Indiana native gave a young Purdue graduate, John Wooden, his first head coaching jobs (football, basketball, baseball, and track).

Great memories shared by the players in this 50th Anniversary story of that championship season ~

Love the look of the old Dayton Stadium. I've been by it a few times but never to a game. Hoping to change that this fall.

Here is video of St.X vs. Flaget for 1971 City Championship. The winner, Flaget, advanced to championship against Thomas Jefferson. Great film from back then.

Anyone ever seen a team playing with a logo on their helmet that didn't directly have anything to do with their mascot or school name/motto?

This is a picture from the November 8, 1968 game between the Campbell County Camels and the Highlands Bluebirds. That's a Campbell County player with the skull and crossbones on their helmet.

I don't think I've ever seen anything like that before.

Is that the same Dan Weber that covered High School sports for one of the NKY papers?   I can't remember if it was for the Kentucky Post or the Kentucky Enquirer.
