If I can remember that far back....73 Davenport Central had Curtis Craig?
What ever happened with Curtis? Obviously everyone knows what happened with Roger.Originally posted by RLStrack:
My cousins played for Assumption in 1973 game against Central. On a rainy night, Craig fumbled ball just short of goal line and Assumption player recovered ball in end zone to preserve the win.
Until Tim Dwight-led 1992 City High football and 1993 track teams, that 1973 Central team had the best overall speed of any Iowa high school football team I've ever watched. Curtis Craig ran 9.8 100 yd dash, sprint relays and long jumped over 22'; Chris Bryant won the State 120 yd high hurdles; Tony Steverson won the State 180 yd low hurdles; & 160 lb pulling guard / middle guard Bobby Bostic won the State 100 yd dash in 9.9 seconds.
If memory serves me correct, they set an all-time Iowa State Track Meet record for team points in 1974 that City High broke in 1993. Regardless of being undefeated or not, both of those Central and City High teams were among the very best Iowa high school football and track teams ever!
might add that Dowling had a good 4x100 team in 99 which all four played football - Ollie (tailback), Smith (wingback), Landolt (corner) and Jones (split end).Originally posted by RLStrack:
