The best record in AHS football history undefeated in nine games while out scoring their opponents 249 to 75. Tri-captains Glenn Haley, Roland Stewart, and Ron Bechtel were recognized on All-Ohio selections. Jim Roseboro became the first Ashland back to rush for over a thousand yards (1142 yards). QB Dave Johns threw ten TD passes and Ron Bechtel's five scores ran his career mark to 11 TD catches. The A's were rated 20th in the INS statewide poll. The team's 30 lettermen was the largest contingent in the first 45-years of Ashland football annals, plus AHS had their first undefeated JV team.
