2008 Season
Shaughnessy, Burch, Winger
|
They're three of the best-known athletes to come out of Oil City, and the school honored two of them, first-team all-staters Jim Shaughnessy (football) and Dutch Burch (basketball) in 1996. The school has retired their numbers -- Shaughnessy's No. 68 in football and Burch's No. 36 in hoops. (Burch also starred in football for the Oilers.) The Derrick carried stories about both of them before they were honored. Read about them here:
Meanwhile, three-time state champion Charlie Winger marked his 50th anniversary for winning the mile and 880 in 2005. Read about it here:
By the way, even though Burch and Winger starred in other sports, both played football for the Oilers.

New old stuff added
Check out the 1931-35 seasons in the Year-by-year records link for some new old photos and materials that have been added. Tom Szafran, son of the late Joe Szafran, lent me his dad's scrapbooks to look through. More old programs have been added to the Rivalries section. So check that out, too. The photo above was taken during the 1934 season.
