They gained victories over Rova and Corpus Christi which highlighted the season. The biggest upset of the year came when the Blue Bullet grid squad defeated the Rova Tigers 2l -O in the annual home- coming contest. ln the course of the campaign, the Bullets tied for fourth place in the Little Six Conference, along with Alexis and Rova. Though the record is not too convincing, the Blue and Cold had many sophomores and juniors playing on the regular squad which will give the team a great advantage next season. IR. HIGH FOOTBALL Suffering a let down from last season's perfect record, the junior high lost four of their six foot- ball games. Despite the fact that their record is not too impressive, the squad showed a lot of im- provement as they won their last two games Coaches Wes Goodwin and Jack Manuel were very happy with the final performances and especially their l2-6 win over Abingdon. They also defeated Winola 25-I3 in their Fathers Night game. They lost to Corpus Christi 6-O, Lombard 27-l 2, Churchill 32-6, and Hitchcock 27-7, With the promise shown by this group in their last two games, Knoxville can look forward to a fine Blue Bullet squad in the next few years.
