Honors

At GTCC made the honors list during both years of attendance.  Dudley highlights: Lettered in both football and baseball and was considered one of the senior stars on both teams during my senior year.  I was considered as one of the more explosive running backs in the Conference.  In addition to lettering in both sports, I also made the all-state check list on several occasions in recognition of exceptional game performances.  The Panther 1968 year book stated the following about the football team, “This was the team labeled as the most explosive offensive threat in the state.  The Panthers amassed 3.714 yards in total offense during the year. They also scored 280 points during the course of the season while their opponents scored 130. That great offensive unit was something.  It was capable of scoring any time and from any place on the field”.  Senior year stats: Rushing 45 carries, 324 yds., 7.2 yds. avg.- Receiving 7 catches, 151 yds., 21.6 yds. avg.  The 1968 Panther football team tied for the Central 4-A Conference Championship and advanced to the State Playoffs.  The Panthers lost by one touchdown in the playoffs, however the pride and excitement generated by the 1968 team will be forever a part of Dudley sports history.
