October 9, 1976 - The Alden-Hebron Green Giants potent running attack was on full display and put a damper on the Mooseheart Homecoming activities. Denny Larson and Boz Smith led the Green Giants ground attack while Steve Smith and Fred Boal led the defense as the Green Giants defeated the Red Ramblers 26-12. The Green Giants would lose junior Mike Behrens for the rest of the season due to a back injury. Next up for the Green Giants would be the defending Little 8 Conference Champion Genoa-Kingston Cogs.
