KIDDIE CORPS HND ITIOTHER HEN Daviess County had a splendid season for cross country. Both girls' coach Will Pagan and boys' coach Tony Rowe were pleased with the efforts that the teams put forth and the victories they had. The DC girls' team was considered the lkiddie korps' at first and sometimes one still refers to them as this or some- thing to that affect. But, hold your tongues! Senior Chris Whelan, oftimes called mother hen, commented, llThey're a pretty good bunch and I have to say they've earned my re- spect. True to life. This outstanding team, with its impressive unity and fol- low-the-leader type attitude, has earned the respect of most true Daviess County fans. On the other hand, the boys' team is practically opposite. The varsity team consists mostly of juniors and seniors mixed with freshmen and sophomores. Coach Tony Rowe was surprised at the comeback the team made and the ex- cellent finish they had toward the end of the season. This contributed to their victories and losses a great deal and the student body and faculty showed their appreciation by showing up at meets and cheering the Raging Red Line on. Both boys' and girls' teams seemed to suffer in the Catholic Invitationals. There was nothing that could be done, how- ever, except running good races. The girls received first place in all meets and lnvitationals except the Lex- ington and Covington Catholic. The boys, not so evenly oriented, had a scattered but good season as a result of some very hard meets. The season ended with both boys and girls doing really well in the K.H,S.A,A. Regional and State. The girls went on to win the state championship. 48!Cross Country

Owensboro Catholic downed the Pan- thers 13-7 in the only overtime game of the season where incompletion seemed to rule. The game was remarkably close with DC coming out ahead in the unofficial 293-288. The DC touchdown was from leff Priar who barreled over from one yard out for the score and then booted the extra point. Football Action!47
