I enjoyed this. I just learned about this post from Grafton players Gary and Ken while returning from Pasadena. I was at this game as a Pewaukee freshman. It was indeed a great battle from guys who held nothing back.
@MikeKeshan I played center and defensive guard in this game for Grafton. It was the toughest football game I ever played in. I literally had spike marks on my back after the game. Pewaukee was ALWAYS a tough game. I also went to college with Rick Nettesheim from that Pewaukee team.
In this game I'm #56 for GHS. I played center and defensive tackle. We had less than 30 guys (soph-senior) on the team that year. Our biggest guy was 205 lbs.
The "Ken Peterson" ID'd on the opening kickoff is the same Ken Peterson who still holds the Wisconsin High School Division 2 long jump record he set in 1966.

Bill Peshel ran for more than 200 yards in this game. However, he was sick with the flu and didn't make it to school until 3rd hour that day.

This is back when Grafton was a town of 3,000 residents, now it has about 15,000 combined in the Village and Town.

When I moved to Grafton in 1956 it only listed 1,498 as the population.
