These were NPHS's last undefeated football teams and the only school teams to win back-to-back state championships in Canuck history. The electrifying performances of those teams drove school spirit and civic pride during a time of social unrest and turbulence. But the troubles of society were set aside for a few hours every Saturday in the fall and we came together in unison cheer our teams to victory.
Several of the players from those teams journeyed to the high school to be honored on Saturday, October 23 in the high school cafeteria. From left to right: Doug Williams, Nick Thul (partially obscured), Charlie Caswell, Jim Mehltretter, Jim Antonisse, Peter Hondru, Jimmy Duffin, Mike Watson, Jack Muldowney, Michael Maresca, David Bogenreif, Tommy Hughes, Wayne DiNardo and John Dandeo.
