Birdseye's 6-2
senior Jeff Cook
1970-71 was the best Birdseye team ever. While the eastern Dubois County high school bowed out in the opening round of Sectional that year to Dubois, the Yellow Jackets 15-6 mark was the most wins of any Birdseye team. It was also their last. The following year Birdseye was lost to consolidation to Forest park.
However, the Yellow Jackets did pack a sting that last season. On their way to a rare Patoka lake Conference title run, Birdseye put up some eye-popping numbers. None-the-least of which is arguably one of the best single game performances ever put on at the high school level in our state.
During Birdseye's 76-51 win over Evansville Latin that season, Yellow Jacket star, Jeff Cook had a game for the ages.
