Despite early season doubt abut the 1980-81 team, Coach Moore and his staff were able to put together a remarkable team. Due to the loss of some great players to the Class of 1980 our team seemed thin on talent, but thanks to smart coaching, new stars were found and some veterans changed positions. Kelvin Jordon was changed from tackle to linebacker, and Al Burgess from slot back to tail back. Tony Creekmore and Reggie Banks stepped into the secondary to tighten pass coverage. Our one-two punch on offense was Johnnie Ealey to Gary Harris. Even though we didn't win the District Title, we still had a great season at 8-1.
