Video 1: 22 Jump. 1973 LCC Thunderbirds vs Shawnee Indians. Named for the little jump Dennis Richardson has on the play. Play 18...aka student body right. Great blocks and another example of Dennis 22 and greatness.

Video 2. 1971 day scrimmage St Marys. We are sophomores and we see film on some of the greats. Dick, Eddie, Mike, Hank, Phil, Jimmy, Tink, and we broke into the staring lineups.

Video 3. 1973 Springfield Central Catholic in dark. Shawnee Indians in white. Our senior year and some rare footage of our great Swarming defense. Watch how many white jerseys make the tackles.

Video 4. 1973 Defense. Same great game, SCC vs SHS. At our field. Another three and out by our defense. And the reason we all got chills watching the magic of Dennis Richardson on a 70 yard punt return. I get chills.

Video 5. Part One. Offense. Shawnee at home SCC was undefeated come to play us. Shuster and Richardson running over and around the black shirts. Kick off tackle by Al Kelly #67. Touch down drives and fumbles and recovery. Jon Quatman is fast! We were all in love with the game. Al Kelly gets punched and Dennis can punt too.

Video 6. Part Two. Thank you to all for the support of our team. The lives we had around sport. Getting up when knocked down. The friend we found in the effort. Ty's 53 yard kick off return. What a heart! This was 40 years ago and the coaches today still talk about us. I guess we were good. From 8th grade till graduation 38 wins and 10 losses. We recovered from our mistakes. Only one slipped away from us at Piqua. I am not ashamed. Newspaper image 5th straight win.
