Editor’s note: This is the second of a six-part series, honoring the top players in the last 50 years of Dobyns-Bennett High School football. The Times-News All-Decade and All-Half Century teams were chosen by a panel. Each team consists of at least one quarterback, running back, receiver, offensive lineman, defensive lineman, linebacker, and secondary. The other spots can go to any position.
Things started slowly in the 1980s for Dobyns-Bennett, but there was lot of success before the decade was over.
