Very solid HERD football team in that period. Head Coach Charlie Snyder must have had a shoestring recruiting budget in those days. Recruited central and southern WV hard, some players in the Eastern Panhandle, e.g., Mickey Jackson. Also recruited Eastern KY, and Ohio and WV along the Ohio River all the way to the top of the Northern Panhandle. George Kosanovich, a lb/db IIRC, was from Weirton. A good end, Bob Vernters, was from Pikeville, KY. Miller was from the Huntington area, Coyer from Barboursville, Cure from Gary in McDowell County, Pruett from Beckley, Big lineman from Charleston named Mike Hicks, and Good, who later played for a while with the Chargers, was from Sissionville. Another solid linebacker was Bill Winter from Nitro. One of those national preseason football magazines in reviewing MAC football for the 64 season, I believe, touted Winter and Good as one of the best linebacker tandems in the Midwest! Another big lineman, Everett Vance came from Logan as did a high quality defensive back, Ray Henderson. Henderson's son, Alan, later played for Bobby Knight at Indiana and was on many All American teams.
All these "locals" that Coach Snyder rounded up by 1964, when Coyer, Miller, Cure, Pruett, Winter and several others were all seniors, finished second in the MAC, MU's highest finished in many years in that Conference, with a 7-3 overall record, which culminated in a 10-0 season-ending win over heated rival Ohio U. up in Athens!!
A great time to be a MU football fan and student attending games at crumbling and decrepit Fairfield Stadium!!
