Twenty-six young men in American football uniforms with helmets pose for a team portrait. Three assistant young men in dark windbreakers bookend the players; two are wearing shirts with the text "Saugatuck 1967 Indians" visible. The team is arrayed outside, in front of a brick building with windows.

Vincent Mocini's comments from Facebook/Saugatuck Remembered: SHS Football team, fall 1967. Team had a character building year. There are certainly some characters in this photo. Record: one win, one tie & five losses. Head Coach Jerry Kelly. Assistant Coaches: Jack Lampen & Wayne Fries. Played home games on Jarvis Memorial Field (more or less where the front entrance to the current SHS now stands). Here's my attempt at face ID. I might not have them all correct, but the ones with numbers showing I think are correct.
