Experience Pays Off As the 1968-69 school year started, everyone at FCHS was looking forward to the beginning of the Tartar’s gridiron action. There were high hopes riding on the football squad to revive football enthusiasm. With the return of 13 experienced seniors and a crop of promising underclassmen, opening night with arch rival Forrest promised to be exciting. It was with a 13-6 victory for FCHS! This year the Tartars boasted not only a new assistant coach, Mr. Nofftz, but they also boasted a new electric score-board and a flagpole for Lewis Field. The raising of the colors by the Boy Scout Color Guard while Tartar bandsmen played the National Anthem proved an impressive opener to pre-game activities. A great deal of credit must go to Coach Curl, and Coach Nofftz and the whole squad for rebuilding football superiority at FCHS. Action provides a moment of anxiety.
