Patriots stun Garinger The 1967 football season was a very successful one for the Patriots. After winning only 1 game and losing 9 in their first year of competition, the Big 1 bounced back to win 5 and lose 5. Coach Ledford felt that this was especially gratifying since this was the year Independence was admitted into the 4-A conference. The final standings in the conference ranked Independence in 2nd place. The win over Garinger was by far the high point of the season. The Patriots were captained by Mo Talley and Lou Lagana. Every man on the squad contributed a vital part, but there were some outstanding performers. Don Reel scored in every game and came up with the “Big Play” many times to help keep the Patriots on the winning road. Fred Harris, Buddy Floyd, and Mike Jones also distinguished themselves by their fine efforts. The desire and pride of this small band of men was more than enough to help them rise to meet the occasions. The sign in the locker room best typifies their attitude: “When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going!” A Garinger victory is sweeter than wine! Donaid Reel outmaneuvers Gar- inger’s defensive halfback Rick Harris.
