The 1974 football team was known as one of the most successful teams in USM’s history. Under the tutelage of Charlie Kerr, the team went undefeated with a 9-0 record during a time when the Midwest Classic Conference was considered particularly challenging. Known for their great sense of competitiveness, camaraderie, and coachability, the 1974 Wildcats dominated their opponents under the leadership of captains Joe Pembroke ’75, Les Heintz ’75, and Kevin Delimat ’75. Season highlights for the Wildcats included their 32-14 victory over St. Louis Country Day School, a notoriously tough opponent, as well as the Wildcats’ 18-14 victory over perennial conference contender Martin Luther High School to win the conference title.
