1972 Game Action vs Cortland

1972 Game Action vs Cortland

Half a century ago we endured triple sessions in the August heat, pounded each other on a daily basis, and battled rugged competition weekly, all in spartan conditions. We bled green and gold.

And we had fun together, too.

Half a century later we have our memories and we have each other. We no longer flash the green and gold like we did in the day. Ours is the color that comes with age, experience, and some wisdom.

We are The Gray Eagles. Our stories are preserved here.

GRAY EAGLE RECORD HOLDERS

A handful of Gray Eagle feats remain in the program's all-time records list.


During the 1971 Grove City game, Len Jankiewicz set the record for longest punt in Brockport football history. It covered almost the entire length of the field and came to rest 73 yards from its point of origin.  Further, his four punts that afternoon averaged 50.7 yards in length. An account of the game reported that Jank's first half punts kept Grove City bottled up in their end when we weren't moving the ball well. We came on in the second half and won the game 27-7. After the game, Coach Dave Hutter said that Lenny 'could be pro material.'


Len's record stood for 26 years until 1995.


More to come....
