Rugged Opener for Regis Heads to Bettendorf
Regis high school opens its 1966 football season on the road at Bettendorf a top 10 pre season pick. The Royals cope with the loss of 206 pound fullback Jim Heefner to a shoulder injury but field two top halfbacks Hank Ryan and Mike Jennings with depth from Ted Boudreau. Bettendorf counters with a veteran backfield led by Bill and Charlie Sheeter and Danny Sheeter, while coach Merrit Parsons relies on a strong line and a rash of ankle injuries among others. Depth could decide this opener for both teams, each facing questions at key spots.
