VARSITY FOOTBALL ' PRIDE ' , NOT SIZE—KEY TO LEWIS ' SUCCESS Victory possessed the Wolverines early in the 1971 football season. With their first win against Franklin County, the taste for victory became even more acute as Lewis defeated Kingsport the following week. While taking each game one at a time, Lewis encoun¬ tered their third opponent, Robert E. Lee, on a muddy field, and ravenously toppled lefferson to bring a 4-0 re¬ cord. By now attention was drawn to the Wolverines from all over the Roanoke Valley. The game with arch¬ enemy Patrick Henry was the turning point for either of the undefeated teams. In front of a record crowd of 9,000, the Wolverines shut out P.H. ' s hopres for an undefeated season with the score 21-0. The P.H. victory was the halfway mark, putting the Wolve¬ rines in the limelight for the remain¬ der of the season. Over-confidence did not overtake the remaining season action. The same determination that began in Septem¬ ber took on new insights for playoff titles. Meeting Lane High School in Charlottesville wasn ' t one of the easiest games on the schedule, but Lewis packed up another win and shaped up for the battle with William Fleming. The Colonels, the 1970 Distr¬ ict Champs, gave Lewis a test of might before an estimated crowd of 15,000. All eyes were focused on Lewis ' pro¬ gress with only three regular season games left to play. The only hindrance before the Cave Spring game was how to get there. Problems with the bus made the team late for the game, but just in time to ground Cave Spring by a score of 48-7. Elation overtook the team, the students, as well as the Val¬ ley as Lewis met their last two oppon¬ ents. Both Northside and Kennedy gave Lewis a grinding battle, but the fate of victory prevailed sending Lewis with a 10-0 record to the thrilling finals. 20
