1980 (5-5)

This page starts a new five-year block with 1980 which is particularly appropriate because the quarterback that year was Dean Herrington, the architect of Hart's run n' shoot/spread offense. Somewhat in 1979, but particularly in 1980, passing became a far more important weapon in Hart's offensive arsenal and has remained so to this day.

1980 was not a particularly remarkable season but Dean did throw for about 1200 yards that season including a 200 yard game against Hoover.

1981 (7-4)

In 1981, Dean Herrington was Hart's first all-CIF quarterback. His primary target was Dale Frack who ended the season with 75 receptions, a Hart record at the time (it lasted only three years). Hart played in the Golden League for the last time before moving to the Foothill League (for a second time) in 1982. The playoff loss to Burroughs-Burbank is the last time Hart lost to that team. Hart has now defeated Burroughs in 24 straight games, an on-going streak.

1982 (7-4)

1982 was not a particularly distinguished season, starting and ending with a shutout. It was clear, however, that the passing game was really starting to take root.
