In the fall of 1963, a band of ro-ugh and ready Pioneers emerged upon and largely dominated the local high school scene, featuring a fleet, explosive ground game and practically impenetrable defense, this group posted the best high school slate in the city with an excellent 8-2-1 record. Following a relatively slow start due to inexperience and injuries, the Pioneers continu- ally improved throughout the season, capping it with an impressive 17-7 win over Soddy Daisy in the first annual Strawberry Bowl in Dayton, Tennessee. While posting the best record in the school's history, these Pioneers slugged their way to a rating of thirteenth in the entire state. Stunned by a City touchdown in the first 448 seconds of the game, the Pioneers continued in offensive dol- drums for nearly three and one-half quarters, able only to gain a 6-6 tie in the last four minutes of the game. Although dominating the game after City's freak touch- down, the Pioneers were unable to cross the twin stripes on numerous scoring opportunities. Held within Cityis ten yard line twice early in the second half, East Ridge finally capitalized on a City mistake to eke out the tie.

A Guider to Roberts pass moved the ball from the 12 to the 5, where one play later, fullback Paul Pierce blasted off tackle to score thn tying touchdown. The Pioneer defense, led by lVlcLeroj and Jerry Luther, played a sterling game, limiting Citj to less than 100 yards total offense. Tailback Mike Odon carried the brunt of the stymied East Ridge attack, rush ing for over 100 yards.
