6- J :eff-' 'Dogs Folter In Opener, Skid To 4-5-1 Record Falling way short of their pre-season hopes, expectations and abilities the 1976 CHS varsity football squad stumbled and sputtered to a 4-5-1 season and district record. After a season opening loss to the Crockett Bulldogs by a 21-14 score, the 'Dogs never got back on track. Inconsistency seemed to be the Bulldogs' greatest menace during the entire campaign. Throughout the whole season, whenever the Bulldogs' offensive unit was reeling off good yardage, their defensive unit would break down and give up an enormous amount of points. This lack of unity resulted in defeats at the hands of Crockett, Jacksonville, Pine Tree, Kilgore and Athens. In four games, however, the 'Dogs managed to get everything together and defeated Palestine, Chapel Hill, Hallsville and Center. They tied the Henderson Lions 14-14. The Bulldogs' defense gave up an average of 18.1 points per contest while their offense could muster only 15.4 points per outing. Several individuals ended the season with outstanding statistics for the 'Dogs. Tailback Kevan Brewster led the team rushing with 940 yards. Fullback Danny Davis was close behind with over 500 yards while Sidney Allen averaged seven yards per carry for the 'Dogs. Defensively, Roy Lee Briggs, Davis and Brewster led the squad with two interceptions each. 5 5 idk 1ftW? :wtg?f-?'fC Sf 't-?ff'Qv',,fS,?' - - Ks. J 5 '- -11 Sea.. , ' , I ' ,N 'Si' .. w- ' .N ' R .
