1980s

San Dimas Coach Don Warhurst won 5 Smudge Pot Bowl games (tied for first among Saint Coaches) through the late 1970s and early 1980s. With Bonita and San Dimas entering different leagues there was some concern that the Smudge Pot game tradition would end, however the game would continue as a non-league game. The 1987 game ended in the only tie 14 to 14.
