DISTRICT CHAMPS OF 1949-50 The Kaufman Lions opened their 1949-50 football season with two weeks of conditioning on Norman Field, beginning Monday, August 15, 1949. On August 28, they left for a week of training at Camp Tejas. On September 9, three days after the beginning of school, the Lions rolled over the Canton Eagles to the tune of 32-0, but it was plain to see that a lot of polishing was needed. The Lions had greatly improved the following Friday night when they stepped into the limelight with another 32-0 win over the Woodrow Wilson B team. The Lions, now showing great progress and smoothness, pushed the mighty Mesquite Skeeters into the shadows with another 32-0 score. Pushed on with the thought of being District Champs, the K.H.S. Lions tied into the Rockwall Yellow jackets and left them with the short end of the score 26-6, their first conference opponents. A game with Forney the next week resulted in an- other Lion victory 39-0. Kaufman prepared for the second conference game with Royse City. The Lions journeyed there, and, when ready to leave for home, they had a great advantage over the Bulldogs 24-0. This game was a stepping stone to the game to follow. The Lions met the long awaited Plano Wildcats with revenge in their eyes and tamed the Cats with a smashing victory 57-0. The following week the Lions met the Athens Hornets and pulled their stingers completely out 39-6. At this point the Lions found themselves in a tie with their arch rivals, the Terrell Tigers - for the District Championship. After two weeks of hard practice, the Lions met the Tigers at Memorial Stadium, November 18. After a hard, exciting two hours of fine football, the Kaufman Lions pushed the Tigers way out of line 40-O. This climaxed the District 17A Championship for Kaufman. Being the 17A Champs, the Lions prepared to throw the 18A Champs, the Grand Saline Indians, out of running for bi-district. In the game that followed, the Lions, after having been severely weakened by injuries, lost a hard luck game to the furious and wild Indians in the final seconds of the game. The game ended with a score of 20-13. This disheartening loss ended the Lions' grid schedule, but, in consolation, they had the joy of being the only K.H.S. grid team to win District 17A since 1934. 1 , ' ' L 9 'R 1 -u --- IIIT .-.:' Juli?
