1984: first varsity competition season. Didn’t have a home game--the field wasn’t ready.
1983: played a junior varsity schedule and finished 6-3 under Coach Jay Cobb
1982: freshmen and sophomores played a freshman schedule and finished 3-5 under Coach Charles Beard
Beard was credited with doing a great job of laying the foundation for football at South, but announced in March of 1983 that he was leaving…saying the school board reneged on a promise to hire one assistant coach.
