Considered one of the greatest football teams in WPIAL history. In the 1984 Pittsburgh Press, readers voted this team the best in WPIAL history. Donora, now part of the Ringgold district, gave up only 13 points all year, one on a fumble recovery return, and won a WPIAL title. Nine players from this team went on to play at Pitt and another, running back Deacon "Dan" Towler, played in the NFL.
