1977 Season Recap
Finishing the season at 7-3, the Redskins play a game that year where they are listed as visitors at their home field for the first time (they take the eastern side of the field during the game). Suiting up against their sister school, the Maple Point Cougars, they two teams flip-flop as they trade “home and away” status during the years that Maple Point exists. The ‘Skins also participate in their first post-season playoff game in ’77 as the LBC looks to end “co-championships” on the field. And despite a convincing 42-14 Neshaminy win during league play, the Bensalem Fightin’ Owls take the one-game playoff for sole ownership of the LBC championship, 12-7.
