They weren't beaten, no, not even in the Harrison County game when the final score testified differently. The football team fought so long and so hard that the freezing rain and biting wind became sec- ond nature to them. Frost-bitten hands and ears were just as unimportant as the temperature to the proud unfaltering team. When they raced onto the field they existed for that touchdown and nothing more. Led by the spirited attack of Billy Lane tquarter-backT, Brian Foster thalf-backT, Jerome Howard ttackleT, and Dale White tfuIl-backT, the Defenders battled their way into the best season ever recorded by a Bryan Station team. With a schedule equal to that of any school in the area, the Defenders stormed off the field with a 9-1e1 record. The only defeat suffered by the team was ad- ministered by Harrison County, winner of the conference. And, although statistically defeated, the Defenders were within one point and twenty yards of victory when the final buzzer sounded. The tie came in one of the many soggy home games when the Defenders met Woodford County. In the mud, fog, and rain, the Defender's speed was hampered considerably, and the Woodford County Yellow Jackets, outweighing the Defend- ers, played them to a 0-0 tie. Each victory was a major one, because al- most every team on the schedule out- weighed the Defenders by more than twenty pounds per man; however, the wins that proved most impressive to the loyal fans were with arch rivals Henry Clay, Lafayette, and Bourbon County. 77
