Biography
The 1954 Knights scored double-digit wins in all eight of their season’s games, culminating in the Basket Bowl shutout of Chowan College (now Chowan University) in Murfreesboro, NC. Of the entire season, the Knights allowed only one opponent (Apprentice) to exceed seven points, and they won every game by no less than twelve.
The team has produced several individual members of the Athletic Hall of Fame, including Ted Leneski, Dr. Tom Walker, and the late Marty Gallagher. This induction recognizes the achievement of the entire team in taking Montgomery College undefeated to a bowl game win. The 1954 football team becomes only the second team induction into the Montgomery College Athletic Hall of Fame.
