The second year of football was something that will live long in the memories of the school, fans, and players of our school. Playing a schedule of nine games, our boys ended the season with two wins and seven defeats. On September 15 the Lions played host to Gallitzin on a rain soaked, muddy field which appeared to the spectator as being half submerged. Those who braved the weather were repaid by a fine game that ended in a 12-6 defeat for the Lions. The following week, September 20, the team traveled to Bedford for that ever-grow- ing rivalry. At half-time with the score 13-0,things were looking bad for the boys but they came out to show their determination as they tallied twice but fell short of winning 13-12. On September 28, Chestnut Ridge traveled to New Enterprise to try to start the vic- tory ball rolling. They dropped the game 33-6, but succeeded in scoring Ridge's first touch- down against Replogle by a pass from Beard to Heslop for 54 yards. The next week, October 6, found the Lions up in the Mountains at Lilly-Washington. The team hit rough going at the hands of the winless Red Raiders and were repelled 33-13. On October 13, Chestnut Ridge met a new opponent, Everett Southern. The Lions wall held well during the first half, leaving the score at half time 7-0. The second half showed a different story with the final score being 34-0. About this time rumors started flying about the next game and a gigantic pep rally. No one will ever forget that day. The undescribable rally lit the fuse of the Lion squad and Southmont was doomed! The team turned into unconquering thundering giants that crushed the Tigers 59-20. After their first taste of victory, the Lions swarmed into Smith, Our boys were de- feated 12-6. Roaring mad from the last defeat, the team invaded Berlin and came home vic- torious 26-6. On November 10, Ridge was all set to again bring back the ball when they played host to Meyersdale. Hampered by the loss of quarterback Bob Heslop, the team was de- feated 13-6. Heslop was out due to an injury received at Berlin.

The year l956-57 saw wrestling initiated at Chestnut Ridge Ioint High School. In spite of this, the Roaring Lions have attained a fine showing in the District. At the be- ginning there were approximately twenty candidates for the sport, but as interest grew, more and more candidates joined the ranks of the bone-Crushers. After a slow start, a loss to Morrison's Cove, the home forces went on the beat Portage. Then a loss to Everett and a win against Bedford's I. V.'s and Morrison Cove gave the Roaring-Lion matmen a 3 and 2 record. A loss to perennially strong Conemaugh Twp. High School and a vic- tory against Somerset gave the bone-crush-ers a 4 and 3 record. The Lions lost the last game to Everett but finished with a 4 and 4 record for the year. This gave them a .500 record for their first season in the sport. Q One of the boys, Wild Bill Hahn, deserves special mention in that while wrestling for the first time this year he managed to go undefeated for six straight matches until fi- nally beaten by Somerset. This is doubly unusual in that he pinned the first defeat on Conemaugh Twp.'s wrestler this year. K . On March 8 and 9 the wrestling squad went to the District P. I. A. A. Tournaientl which was held in Bedford. Steve McCreary, the only boy from our school who reached the finals, went on to beat his man and become the first District 5 Wrestling champion to ever represent our school. Steve wrestled in the l45-pound class. He will now represent our school in the regional tournament to be held at Clearfield, March l6. This was the first year for Varsity Wrestling in C. R. H. S. and a very successful one according to performances. C. R. H. S. 14 Morrison's Cove 37 C. R. H. S. 30 Morrison's Cove ll C. R. H. S. 27 Portage 22 C. R. H. S. l5 Conemaugh Twp. 36 C. R. H.
