Although the fighting C-B’s put up a good fight, the highly rated Bearcats defeated them 26-6. Returning to the Brave field for a night game, the Clay-Battelle Team tied the Rivesvil e Rams, but lost to Farmington. Traveling to Monongah, the Masonite eleven managed to gain a 13-13 deadlock with the rough and tumble Jungle Cats and had the honor of being the first to cross Monongah’s goal line. Visiting Rogersville next, the Gray and Blur Team rolled over a light, inexperieced eleven and then slushed through the mud for a 13-7 victory over Mt. Morris. On the Kingwood gridiron, the Clay Battelle eleven managed to come out on top with a 6-0 score. Coming back home for the last night game, the Masonites met the Fairview Indians. Our Cee Bees trounced the Indians 20-7. On a very wet, muddy Barrackville field, the Gray and Blue warriors stung the Bisons 12-0. In the final game of the season, the C-B’s, after a slow start, came roaring back in the second half to defeat Cameron 35-19.
