When asked about the accomplishments of the 1983 football team, Coach Jim Trapp said, “The 1983 Hubmen football team is the best team in Jordan football history. They earned their way into the state playoffs with a 9-1 regular season record. Once in the playoffs they won four straight playoff games by a combined score of 86 to 0. They finished off the championship season with a 27-0 win in the Prep Bowl over a very good Breckinridge team. In doing so they set a state record of not allowing a single point in four playoff games. The 1983 team remains the only Jordan football team to win a state championship.”

The induction ceremony will be open to the public. Following the induction ceremony, the Hall of Fame inductees will be honored at halftime of the Homecoming football game at Ames Field.
