Lions' teamwork fuels fifth state title in six years
Lawrence High under coach Al Woolard rode a lean, cohesive offense and stifling defense to dominate opponents. Starters Ridgway Trull Stancliff and Taylor led rushing and receiving while the line anchored a unit that outgained foes 2 077 rushing yards to 364 and held teams to 1 5 yards per carry. The Lions closed 1962 with a 273 15 composite score and eye a tougher 1963 schedule without key seniors.
