Although the Crabbers got off to a slow start, caused by an initial loss to Lafayette, Coach Mike Smith led the Varsity Football team to finish off the season with a winning record. Because of an unpredicted block punt played by Denbigh, the Crabbers were con¬ fronted with a heavy setback, therefore leaving a bad effect on the team. Nevertheless, the overall season ended well, with compliments to the team’s two offensive leaders Bubba Mallory and Jonathan Mckinney. 15

7-3 Fresh starters made up the ’76-77’ team. Members lacked experience, yet they were capable of achieving most of the desired plays. They were not prepared for unexpected plays, such as block punting. The offensive line was the key factor in guiding the team throughout the season, but it could not have been done without the great direction of coaches Mike Smith, Frank Johnson, Tyrus Woodard, Chim Stogner, and Alvis Mann.
