This weeks Alumni article features the 1977 Varsity Flashes Football team. The Flashes Football season that year began with a little apprehension because nine offensive and six defensive starters needed to be found to replace graduating Seniors from the 1976 Championship squad. Forty seven prospects turned out in September and with determination found themselves winning the Tri-Valley League Championship (5-0), the second straight year, and Fillmore's fifth invitation to the C.I.F. playoffs in the past eight years. Many records were established by the 1977 squad. Among them, the lowest number of points allowed per season to opponents (50). The previous record of (54) was set by the 1972 squad. Another milestone was reached by the 1977 Flashes with back-to-back football championships, a feat not achieved in Fillmore for 45 years dating back to 1932.
