Frosh Go 4-3-1 On Season Running from the power I for- mation on offense and using a 4- 3 defense, the 1976 freshman football squad boasted a 4-3-1 season record and a 2-2-1 district clip. The 2-2-1 record enabled the frosh to finish in a two-way tie with Kilgore for third place in their district . The young 'Dogs managed to score 14.5 points per contest while their defense gave up 15.2 points, on the average, at each game. Hallsville was shut out twice by the Bulldog defense by an 8-O score. Quarterback Audrey McMi1lian led the frosh's offensive charge with '7 touchdowns . A high point in the frosh cam- paign was a 30-20 win over Cen- ter in their last contest. In that game the frosh were trailing 20-O at halftime before putting on a last ditch second-half come- back. 1. QB Audrey McMi1lian BANGS A UEY upfield for good yardage on a veer option. 2.

Hoopsfers SHOVEL COAL During Cage Campaign Without a doubt the 1976-1977 varsity basketball squad was one of the most exciting teams fielded in several years at CHS. The team played in 7 games in which the margin between victory and defeat was 4 or less points. They also participated in 1 overtime and 2 triple overtime con- tests. The 'Dogs ended their campaign with a 17-13 season record and a 6-4 district record. In the first half of district competition, the 'Dogs had 4 wins and 1 loss putting them very much in their zone race. But, in the second half of district play the 'Dogs could muster wins in only 2 of their 5 games. One reason for the Bulldogs' downfall was the loss of their ball- handler, Leon Carter, to injury. Carter broke his nose in their first loop meeting with the Center Roughriders . During the course of the season, several individual records were bro- ken by members of the 'Dogs' squad. Thomas Walton broke the season defensive rebound record as he recorded a total of 279 for the season. He also set a single game defensive rebound record by snaring 20 against Hallsville on Ian. 18. Also, Carter got his name in the record book by dishing off 13 assists against Henderson in Henderson on Jan. 25 . A1 A2 A 26 I Super Skates
