Still got it

Greg DeGeorge, Michael Bates, Scott Hays and Mark Peterson

Briargrove Elementary 1968-69 football team members (known as the Briargrove Bears at the time), including (pictured, standing, from left) Greg DeGeorge, Michael Bates, Scott Hays and (seated) Mark Peterson, recently held their first-ever reunion, 48 years after playing together on the same team. The reunion, hosted by Peterson and DeGeorge, took place at Carrabba’s on South Voss. The team defeated opponents such as Grady Elementary, Pilgrim Elementary, Walnut Bend Elementary, Emerson Elementary and others. No team scored a point against the undefeated team in 1968 or in 1969 except just one touchdown from Emerson Elementary. At the reunion, championship trophies and Briargrove football T-shirts were given to all team members, including Bill Campbell, Warren Coles, Doug Dashiell (Grady Elementary), Rick Doak, Lee Hood, Chip Horne, George “Gee” Kane, Craig Kinney, Doug Read, Gary Reese, Ben Richardson, Matt Thanheiser, Bill Prewett, Mills Worsham (Grady Elementary) and Rusty Walter. Peterson was awarded MVP by his fellow teammates. The group hopes to make the reunion an annual event.
