Binghamton, NY, March 17, 2025 – Triple Cities Jets (1970) Inducted into the Greater Binghamton Sports Hall of Fame
A Historic Recognition for a Legendary Team - The Greater Binghamton Sports Hall of Fame proudly announces the induction of the 1970 Triple Cities Jets (TC Jets) Football Team into its esteemed ranks. This well-deserved recognition celebrates one of the most dominant teams in semi-professional football history, whose remarkable achievements continue to inspire generations.
A Season of Perfection and Dominance - In their inaugural semi-professional season of 1970, the TC Jets made history by achieving an undefeated 12-0 record, clinching the Empire Football League (EFL) Championship, and outscoring opponents by an astonishing 731 to 13 margin. Their dominance on the field set a benchmark for excellence in minor league football, cementing their place as one of the most formidable teams of their era.
A Legacy of Leadership and Community Impact - Founded by Ray Stanton, who also served as General Manager, Head Coach, and Quarterback, the TC Jets not only achieved unparalleled success on the field but also garnered immense support from the Greater Binghamton community. Their contributions to local sports culture remain a source of pride for the region.
In recognition of his leadership, Ray Stanton was previously inducted into the Greater Binghamton Sports Hall of Fame in 2015. Many TC Jets players, including Ray Stanton, Dave Burch, and Joe Greco, also went on to earn tryouts with the New York Jets, further exemplifying the talent nurtured within this legendary team.
Honoring the Champions of 1970 - The 2025 induction ceremony will pay tribute to the players, coaches, and staff who contributed to the historic success of the TC Jets. The event will celebrate their enduring legacy and the profound impact they had on the sport of football in Binghamton and beyond.
