FOOTBALL That same fight and spirit which carried the outstanding 40 and 41 teams to the peak has turned the trick again. Without doubt, this 1943 Orange and Black team of Coach Oakley Brown aided by Coaches Cris Cox and Henry Greer, has turned out to be one of the most successful and outstanding teams of H. H. S. grid history, not from the point of view of scoring ability, but from the standpoint of spirited and cooperative teamwork. This team of which there were no individual stars played together as one man and for one purpose, to win cleanly. Western Kentucky Conference Champions was the title bestowed upon them as a result of their fine record. Only two Tiger teams pre- ceding this one have been good enough to win every game on their schedule as this one has done. Not once during the whole season did the team get to show its real strength. The forward wall seemed to everyone at the first of the season to be shadowy and we were uncertain as to its strength. After undergoing a few changes this same line, led by center, Captain Charley Melton. was soon tearing away the opposition to make holes big enough to let the high-powered backfield rack up a total of 379 points to the opponents' 63 in ten games. Injuries were few and far between, thus making the sea- son even more successful. I Captain Charley Melton, George Claiborne, Norris Hammonds, Jerry Claiborne. Billy Griffin and Tommy Sparks were honored in the All-State Selections that were chosen in December. We can easily boast of this teams in years to come as we are indeed proud of it. The departing players wish to will to those left behind the heritage of high morals and the desire to win which made the Hopkinsville Tigers of '43 troublesome to all op- ponents.
