Some hard hitting resulted in the match-up, but Clay pulled it out with late scores to beat the Redmen 23-9. Hopes of a league champion- ship iurther diminished when the Bedmen were beaten 39-29 by Bedford. They finished the sea- son with a 5-4-1 record. Football 21 4

The team's effort faltered until the sectionals, which they won. They qualified for another trip to the state, as they finished third at districts. The Redmen put in a fine showing there, as they placed 12th out of the 17 best teams in the state. Senior Chuck Pullom led the Fiedmen as he tin- ished 17th. For this and other numerous accomplishments throughout the year, Pullom was selected by his teammates as MVP. Even with the loss of this year's seniors, next year's team should be promising with the return of 5 Iettermen. 51.42 . 1 -1978 CROSS COUNTRY: frow 1JCraig Baldwin, Nate Lynch, Chuck Pullom, Chris Reinhard, Stan Cohen, Tom Fellers, Mike Etzinger, Coach Carl Fisher.
