We're getting there Looking back over the years, our football team has had many ups and downs. One year the team would have a good season such as in 1978 when the record was 6-3-0 and the team almost made it to the district playoffs. Then the team, as in 1979 when the season record was 1-8-1, would have a year that wasn’t one proved to be an im- provement over last year as shown in their season record of 2-7-3. The good part is that the 1980 team contained some outstanding players. Robert Jackson made all district first team as place kicker, special team punt return and second team as running back and defen- sive back. Tracey Jackson also made first team all district at tackle. Due to the lack of players this year, many had to play both offense and defense but they showed they had enough ability to win two games and tie three others. bead Aim, Te 2.

Dukes Are Home Homecoming 1980 was different from last year, for this year it rained all night and last year was a perfect fall night. This year, however, the Dukes lost the Homecoming game and in 1979 it was the only District game that the team won. Half-time festivities included a performance by the CHS band and the announcement of the Homecoming Queen, Miss Diane Branch. 2.
