Though their Dual season wasn't up to standard, this team rapidly improved and came within 2 points of being State Champions. They started slowly but by midseason were rolling strong. Captain Joe Frank (click on name to learn more), Don Henry, and Merlin Schmauss also won the Conference. This year's reserve team went undefeated so things look good for 1960.
