Colby wins division title The Colby Hornets won their third consecutive eastern division football championship in the Cloverbelt Conference with an impressive 29-6 victory over the Neillsville Warriors Friday night.
“It was the best game ever played since I came to Colby in 1965,” said a pleased Duane Teska, head coach. He termed it as a total team effort and could not single out any players. Colby scored on a five-yard run by Al Becker, quarterback and three, five and 14 yard runs by Randy Schultz, who played his best game ever. Neillsville scored the first time it had the ball on a missed tackle but Teska straightened out that mistake and the Hornets kept the Warriors quiet the rest of the evening.
In describing his team, Teska said it probably does not have as much ability as past squads but has “much more heart.”
Teska couldn’t say enough about Becker, who he termed as his most accurate passer ever and as good a quarterback he has ever had. Teska said Becker was by far the most improved player on his squad.
The Hornets were emotionally set for the contest. “This is one of the team’s strongest points,” said Teska, adding that the squad came through for the big games this season.
