The decade of the ‘50s began with Glouster in peak performance, finishing in the top three in the MVL in the first two seasons. The final game of the 1951 season was the legendary 19-19 tie at Chauncey in front of an estimated crowd of over 3,000. This game pitted Glouster’s junior fullback Lloyd Dugan against Chauncey legend Hubert Bobo who was also a junior. Both backs scored two touchdowns in the tie and a much anticipated matchup the following year would be derailed when Coach Leuck left Glouster for Roseville and Dugan suffered a serious knee injury prior to the ‘52 season. Bobo set the Ohio career scoring record in the Glouster game in 1952 which still stands. After consecutive seasons with a losing record. Bob Brennan would be hired as coach in 1955. Brennan took a season to rebuild the Glouster program and rattled off two winning seasons before taking the head coach position at Wellston high school. The decade would end for the Tomcats with Coach Dave Winefordner having consecutive 4-4-1 seasons.
