It was a hard fought game as Valley Head was tougher than expected. On September 22. the Aggies journeyed to Gadsden to take on the Emma Sansom Rebels but after the first quartrr had passed, the Aggies seemed to quit and when the smoke cleared away from the battle they were found on the short end of a 40 to 6 score, the worst defeat an Albertville team had suffered in a good many years. Saturday. September 30, the Aggies went South to Sylaeauga. After a hard week’s practice, in trying to ready themselves for the game. It was a fine defensive game with Albertville winning 7 to 0. On October 6. the Aggies played Oneonta on the homcifield in what was expected to be a tough game but the Aggies played a very fine game with every player making a top performance and the final score was Albertville 40. Oneonta 14. On October 13. the Aggies played Arab on the home-field. A light, but tough Arab team made a hard game out of it but when thej battle was over Albertville was ahead 26 to 0. On October 20, the Aggies journeyed to Etowah to play the state top eleven. It was a terrific game with the Aggies outplaying the Blue Devils all the way but Etowah won 20 to 12. On the night of October 27th the Aggies played Lincoln from Huntsville on the home field. Every member of the team took a part in the game, with the Aggies scoring almost at will, and the final score was Albertvillei 45, Lincoln 6. On the night of November 3. found the Aggies in Cullman, in the rain, sleet and mud. The Cullman team was bigger but the Aggies had what it took to win and the final scorei was 7 to 0. In the Homecoming game with Ft. Payne on November 11. the Aggies got off to a slow start but just before the half, they caught fire and went on to beat a steady DeKalb eleven 27 to 7. On a beautiful Thanksgiving Afternoon in Guntersville. the Aggies played their last game of the season. Everyone will remetmber the first three minutes of the game when it looked likei disaster for our boys, when they were behind 12 to 0. But the Aggies came back with thei old fighting spirit, with all of the boys performing beautifully. They couldn’t be stopped and went on to win 40 to 19. The Aggies finished the Season with 8 wins and 2 losses recorded. This was very good compared to thei schedule they played. But only through the Leadership of Coaches Wells and Daniels could they have had such a fine season.ACTION V “•‘ V SHOTS FOOTBALL OUR SENIOR TEAM !!
