Ceremony Planned to Honor 1970 Forest High School
Football Team on 50th Anniversary of Championship Season
First Integrated Squad
By Bubby Johnston
Its been 50 years since the first integrated Forest High School football team took the field en route to posting a perfect season and a conference championship.
A special ceremony to honor the 1970 team is scheduled Friday, Sept. 18, 2020, at L. O. Atkins Field during halftime of the Forest/Florence game. (The ceremony was previously set for August 21 but was rescheduled due to the delayed start of the high school football season caused by the Coronavirus.)
Representatives of deceased team members are also encouraged to attend and be a part of the 50th Anniversary celebration. Cheerleaders for the 1970 team as well as members of the 1970-71 All-Superior FHS Band are invited to attend and participate in the event.
