(piqAkirL (PjuaJulMu The Pigskin Warriors of Casey High under the guidance of the coaches—Ott Bay, Jim Tedrick, and Bob Collom—had a successful season. The Warriors were defeated by Robinson, Dupo, and Marshall. They scalped Oblong, Martinsville, Palestine, Charleston, Paris, and Charleston T. C. They ended the season with six victories and three defeats. When the annual pigskin banquet rolled around, Ronnie Gross was awarded the Harris Trophy. The most valuable player award was presented to Gene Shiels. Gene Shiels made the first squad of the All-Star Team of the E. I. League. The team of “48” will miss the playing of Ronnie Gross, Gene Shiels, Leslie Montgomery, Dick Smith, Richard Coons, and Max Brandenburg. However, the remaining twelve lettermen will be a good foundation for the on-coming team.

diahdwoojdL dfjuddlsL The mighty Casey Warriors opened the 1946-47 season with many very good prospects. Star Gerald Black was back in top form, and also back were Roy Johnson and Danny Collins from last year’s ten. Casey welcomed the return of Lester McSchooler, an ex-service man and the only senior, who was in best form to make Casey a well-rounded five. The Warriors went out for the scalping and won the county tournament and remain the champions of Clark County. In the first round Casey defeated Martinsville and won from Marshall in the finals. The Warriors entered the E. I. Tournament prepared to scalp their E. I. contenders. In the first round Casey easily defeated Oblong, but the Warriors lost a heartbreaker to Palestine in the quarter-finals and were eliminated. The Warriors have done very well this season, making good showings with top teams in the state and in the E. I. Conference. The Warriors will be looking forward to the season ahead when most of the first ten will return. BEST OF LUCK, WARRIORS! First Row: George Wright, Jim Simpson. Hill Yocum. Hill I.uckey.
