Southwestern's First Homecoming

1955 Football at Medora

Southwestern's inaugural football season in 1955 featured a junior varsity team, laying the groundwork for the varsity program that followed.

On October 22, 1955, the Piasa Birds played their Homecoming game against Civic Memorial at Medora. Southwestern fell 45–0, but the game remains part of the program's earliest history.
