Zrwazhs 172 gqcfzon September 1, 1961, meant two things for us, the beginning of School and our first football game. Ripley defeated the Chieftains 38 to 6 at Ripley, but our boys gained valuable experience. ln our home opener Shannon was the victor 25 to 6. We then traveled to Vina and lost a heartbreaker 12 to 7. The next week was another game away from home and Vardaman dropped us 20 to 13. After four losses the Chieftains hit their stride and topped Adamsville 13 to 12. Baldwyn, one of the toughest teams in the Tombigbee Con- ference, stopped us in our second home game, 23 to O. Going all out against Cherokee, the Chieftains scored three touchdowns, but they got the best of us, 42 to 13. The Chieftains' offense really opened up against Mantachie and we conquered them 38 to 14 at Fulton. Rival Belmont invaded Lions Stadium October 27, and the mighty Chieftains made many warbonnets out of the Cardinal tailfeathers as we picked up our third victory 26 to 13. This was our homecoming game and we made it a great night. In the last game of the year Booneville topped the Chieftains 35 to 7. This was the last football game for six seniors. They were: ends Junior Rhodes and Jimmy Ramsey, tackle Jerry Mc- Culloch and backs, Donnie Carson, Dale Moore and David McBee. 'N sf-. -se . sd .. Lloyd Lee Davis, Sam McCune, Jerry McCulloch, and other unidentified Chieftains opened a big hole for fullback Jimmy Ramsey as he blasts up the middle of the Belmont line.
