FOOTBALL The Trail of the Smoky Bears of '55 The Sevier County High Smoky Bears assembled Monday, August 15, 1955, to start pre-game practice. The first session was characteristic of practice throughout the year under head coach, Roger Coggins, assistants, Bob Davis and Royce Loveday. The 1955 Bears found many problems at the start of the season. Foremost among these was the installing of a new offense with primarily inexperienced boys. ln the first game inexperience and the new offense, which was a little ragged, took its toll. The fighting Bears bowed to Knoxville Powell, 14-6. The Bears showed improvement and won their next three games, defeating Tellico Plains, 13-65 Loudon, 6-U5 and Knoxville Farragut, 20-0. ln the Farragut game three boys were injured. ln the Newport game the most tragic event of the year occured: Iimmy Hardin, blocking-back, was fatally injured. The next game, which was scheduled with Knoxville Central, was cancelled. The next week the Bears bowed to a strong Greenville team, 27-6. Later a rebounding team of the Smoky Bears came from behind to tie Iefferson City, 7-7. At the homecoming game, which was played on Alumni Field, the Bears defeated the Chilhowee Lions, 19-O. The final game was lost to Carter on a muddy field by a score of 12-O. The Little Smoky Bowl on Thanksgiving Day ended in a 6-6 tie with Clinton. 96 via ' W 195 5 RECORD e Schedule They Powell 14 Tellico Plains 6 Loudon U Farragut O Newport 13 Central KCancelledJ Greenville 27 Iefferson City 7 Harrison Chilhowee 0 U Carter 12 5 6 Clinton
