The Augusta News-Review October 29,1983
Dupree to retire, not bitter
David Dupree, coach
of the Lucy Laney High
School Wildcats, has
compiled a record so
great that he could lose
his next 116 games and
still leave the school with
a winning record.
But he will retire at the
end of this year, because
he says that fan abuse has
gotten to the point that
his family cannot attend
football games “for all of
the insults would hear,”
hurled at him.
With two games to go
in the season, Dupree’s
record at Laney is 183-66-
9.
Although he has had
only one losing season at
Laney, (1980) his teams
have not lived up to the
early years when he won
two state championships
prior to the integration of
the schools and two
Georgia High School
Association region titles.
He had undefeated
seasons in 1961 and 1966.
He was 8-1-1 in 1977 and
9-1 in 1978.
Dupree sees integration
as the key to the

“We (Laney) were

In 1962 when Dupree’s
team won the state cham
pionship Black athletes
could go to only two
schools—Laney and Im
maculate Conception.
Now there are seven area
high schools.
“We used to have all the
Black athletes in Augusta
but integration wiped that
out.”
Dupree is proud of his
former players, including
Emerson Boozer who
starred in the 1969 Super
Bowl with the New York
Jets, Chip Banks who
plays with the Cleveland
Browns and Curtis
Rouse, who plays with
the Minnesota Vikings.
Four of his other players
had careers in the NFL.
But he is also proud of
those players who became
successes in other areas.
