Two All-Leaguers Among UPPERS Plains-Teen Returning Lettermen

Two returnees join four senior lettermen for the Eastern High Eagles football team as they defend positions in the Mid-Ohio Valley and Southern Valley leagues. Billy Kincaid, in his second season as head coach after a South Carolina background, leads the squad alongside Jim Stettler and Bob Ritchie, both all-league selections. Other returnees include Dan Grueser, Sonny Cline, Dave Smith, Tom Katt, and Denis Eiche, returning from last season’s 2-6 squad with a 1-2 league mark, aiming to improve in 1968.
