FOOTBALL “We’re little, we ' re few and we’re inexperienced,’’ said Coach Jeter Barker to the twenty-five boys who stood circled around him for the first practice session of the 41-42 football season, “That which we lack in size and numbers we’ll make up in toughness and fitness,’’ he added. From then until the end of the season the practice drills were long and hard. But when a first- string eleven, composed of Hoyt Moore and L. M. Edwards as ends: Dewey Stallard and Andrew Reeder as tackles: Buddy Carmody and Herman Giles as guards: L. A. Hill as center: Cecil Haynes and Daries Jessee as half-backs: John Beverly as fullback: and Douglass Cochran as quarterback, walked on the field to test their skill in the opening game with Pennington Gap, the result of their diligent prepar- ations was very much in evidence. The Buccaneers won their first game and continued to flawless victories until a champ-threatening Coeburn team handed them their first defeat. After this loss the Big Stone gridders went back on the victory road until their last game, in which Appalachia subdued them with a 14-0 score. This left the Buccaneers in third place in the county conference at the end of the season. But the successful work of this peppy eleven did not go unsung. On the All-county team they had two players, Cecil Haynes, halfback and Herman Giles, guard, chosen for first team honors. The All-Southwest choice honored three of the Bucs with a place on the second team. They were L. M. Edwards, end: L. A. Hill, center: and Herman Giles, guard. Despite any All-star selection which was made, the honor which the entire team enjoyed most was the fact that win or lose they were always tops with the local fans and Big Stone supporters.
