'79 Semifinals: Belfry 14 Highlands 8

Featured Replies

Honestly, how many jerseys were torn off? I bet it wasn't many.
It was horrible. As I remember it, almost all of them were shredded.

Hey, aren't you suppose to be hanging a scoreboard????

 

He needs to be adding some numbers to that scoreboard. A date to be exact.:D

I heard the Belfry bench was basket weaving pot holders with the shreds from their jerseys.:cool:

I'm not even sure they would have even held a sturdy pot. :lol:
I already did my part. It's the piece of equipment that's sitting in Death Valley setting the scoreboard.:D

You might as well put the cannon were it belong's while you can!

Already talked to the highest authority up there and it's taken care of.

Ram, I think Belfry's running backs went through several jerseys each. I'm not sure of the exact number, but it was a few.

I stand corrected then, I figured it was just a few, and Highlands became frustrated.

I would like to get a copy of this game. Belfry filmed their games on 8mm (reel to reel) at the time and I think I know who has their copy of the film. I'd like to get it made into a DVD, if it still exists.

 

Does anyone at HHS have access to their films? Does one exist that could be made into a DVD?

I have another question for HHS faithful that I have wondered about ever since hearing stories about this game.

 

During that era, how did the visiting teams generally get access to the locker room upon first arrival?

 

Did they park the bus outside the big gate and have to walk through the school to get to it? Or were they allowed to drive down the entrance and enter the locker room from field level?

As long as I've been attending Highlands games, I have never heard of an opposing team being able to drive their buses to field level. They have always parked opposing team buses on Ave of Champions which is no longer around. I do have one of the original Ave of Champions Street signs my father-in-law found on the side of the road:sssh::D

Like (I think) I said earlier, I watched the actual game film several years ago. I can't remember who it was that brought it over; but I'm sure my brother knows.

So, if you know, did the visitors have to walk through the school to get to the locker rooms, or do they walk around on the outside?

Does anyone know if the final score was 14-6 or 14-8? I'm very curious! I thought it was 14-8.

They walk down the driveway onto the field. From there, they go to the locker rooms.
