1981 PCW Football

The 1981 Putnam City West football team never lost a game.  Hall of Fame Coach Mike Little led the Patriots to a 14-0 record, culminating with a 47-20 victory over Tulsa McClain in the championship game.  Hall of Famer Mike Cutter led the offensive efforts, rushing for over 1,800 yards that season with 27 touchdowns.  Cutter was the State Player of the Year.  Coach Little was the State Coach of the Year.  Defensive tackle Paul Mitchell was an All-State pick and wide receiver Phil Summers was a First Team All-City selection.  The closest game of the year for the Patriots was, of course, against Putnam City.  West won that one 13-10.  This is the only State Champion football team in Putnam City West history.
