READER SUBMISSION RECOGNIZING CHAMPIONS Flashback to the 1977 Herbert Hoover High School’s first regular season undefeated football team. They were recognized on November 5, 2021, at Joe Eddie Cowley Stadium as the reigning HHHS Huskies football team completed its season as Cardinal Conference Champion with a perfect 10-0 record. Coach Joey Fields said the 1977 HHHS football team was the first, and only, team in school history to finish its regular season undefeated with a record of 10-0. “We are proud to share the field with these outstanding athletes as we join them as the second team to be recognized for this achievement.” #talkoftheriver1977and2021
