Gridmen Sweep to Second in Conference New talent was the keynote of the 1957 football sea- son. Coach 'Buster Dixon beganthe 'season depending heavily on halfback Pete Hill, ends Bill Danford and Larry Ligon, tackle Roy Lovelady, and center Edwin Groves. These were the boys returning from the 1956 starting lineup. It soon became evident that the Eagles' potential would be in their juniors, quarterback Gray Mills, half- backs Ierry Terrell and Bill Kemp. When everyone began lauding the merits of these young men, Coach Dixon just grinned, he'd known it all along. As the Eagles battered their way through a grueling pre-season lineup, they battled everything from the ninth ranked team in the state to the Asiatic flu. The Dixonrnen lost a few teeth and broke some bones, but they gained rapidly in experience and skill, by October 18, they felt they were prepared to meet the Parrot powerhouse, Poly High.
