On December 8, 1962 Dulles played Sinton in a Class AA Quarter-Finals Football Game. The game ended in a 3 - 3 tie, but Sinton advanced in the play-offs on the second tie-breaker: number of 1st downs. The game was pretty scrappy. (Notice how much dust they raise during the game.) Bobby Husbands was a defensive demon. Here's an account of the game from The '63 Viking:
This team picture may help you identify players in the video.
Many thanks to Tommy Laird for converting this video from VHS to DVD. The soundtrack includes a recording of the Dulles Fight Song played by old-timers at the 50th Anniversary Band Reunion last fall.
I almost forgot to mention this. There is a 'swinging-gate' play in the second half. Steve Shelton goes on a wild gallop. Dulles runs another trick play toward the very end of the game, but the camera starts late, so it's hard to tell what happened. It appears to be a pass to an end split out close to the side line. He throws it back to the QB (Charles Hauerland) who then hands the ball to another back sweeping toward the other side line. Maybe one of the players will recall it.
