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.

Later, her Page 3 white athletes told him his neighbors teased him tor being “out there playing for niggers.” 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. “One of the best dentists in this area (Dr. W.J.
