Most of the players this season were new and inexperienced, but the talent of the Eagles paid off in the end. The season started with a new coach at the head of the team. We feel that Coach Al Vance turned out a winner because of his ability to lead and direct. The first game of the season began at Big Lake where the team suffered a 13-O defeat. Following this game the Eagles met Bronte on the Eldorado gridiron and defeated the Longhorns 20-0. This game started a string of eight consecutive victories and climaxed with the District Championship. Football season officially closed when the Eagles journeyed to McCamey for the Bi-District game. Hampered by injuries, the loss of a starter, and the tough schedule, the Eagles lost to the Badgers by a score of 32-0. I Y A 1 i, , ,W ,.,,...w.ws -I 45" ' ' ' ,W .

Success is usually based on the principles set before the boys, and it has been true this year. This summer he rounded up the boys and got them into good shape and led them to the District Championship. An outstanding factor ot Coach Vance is his life. He played his High School iootball at Devine. After finishing High School he enrolled in St. Edwards University where he lettered three years in football. He also participated in basket- ball, track, and baseball. I is X .. X-. " '- ,.

A. Reynolds, had a very successful season, playing nine games with seven wins and two losses. They attended three tournaments. The first was an invitation tournament in Sonora where the girls lost to the strong Eden team, but not before Marselaine Patterson was chosen for the all-tournament team. The second tournament was in Rocksprings where they defeated Barksdale and, in turn, were de- feated by Bandera. Dorothy Neill was on the all-tournament team. However, at the district tournament in Sonora, the girls advanced to the finals by de- feating the strong Rocksprings team 46-29. They won the finals in a hard- fought game with lunction 24-20, and carried away the laurels in the form of the District Championship trophy. THE STARTING LINEUP .9 .. 1-I S I SEASON'S RECORD G 1 u.
