Lancaster High School LHS (SC) State Championship Football Team - 1959 - Lancaster SC Photos

Most football players and coaches pose for their official group photo before the season starts. But when the team wins the state championship, another group photo is made after the season is complete. 

Here, members of the state championship team are seen in December of 1959 in Lancaster. They had just beaten Winyah in Georgetown days earlier for the state title. 

At top left is coaching legend Wade Corn. Corn led the team to 11 wins, including 4 shutouts. LHS averaged almost 14 points per game while their opponents averaged only 5.
