Decatur Raiders Open Fall 1964 With Uncertain Quarterback Shakeup
Decatur High prepares for its 1964 football season with 43 players donning armor for the first time as head coach Wesley Thompson eyes an improved TVA race. The squad faces a Sept 11 home opener against Athens after a Sept 4 jamboree, while quarterback chaos looms with Amos Morris, Mark Lovelace, Neal Conner, and Ronnie Dukes in the mix. Thompson notes strong line talent and a veteran front, but a shaky signal caller and heavy uncertainty at the backfield.
