[Big Five-0-]

We played the 89 team. We used 13 people on kick off team (we would run two more players on the field after the ball was kicked) and Steve Bailey would still return it to mid field. We worked all week on a half back pass. Our coach promised us if we score first he would forfeit the game and walk straight to mid field and shake Hillard Howard and Bill Allaria's hand. We scored first with that play. Then they killed us. I think the final score was something like 76-18. IMO the 89 team was nowhere near the team of the 87 team.

I remember that very game. an away game. Agree 100%. That 87' team was the best. Iv'e talked with Hillard several times, and he's told me more than once that the 87' Panthers was the team.
