The 1976 MHS Football Team left a big mark in the annuals of the school’s history. Coach Phil Sheffield’s team was the Lakeland conference champions with a spotless 7-0 record. They were 8-1-1 overall. After an opening 0-0 tie with Avon Lake, a team that went undefeated that year, they lost 6-14 to an Elyria Catholic team which won the State Championship in division AA that same year.

Five players were selected All-Conference First Team, on both offense and defense. One other player was named on offense with another named to the 2nd team defensive team. Jeff Tillman tied for the regular season county scoring title with 130 points and Don Renuart was named All-Ohio 2nd team on defense.
