As we dig into our treasure chest, we find that the Leola Pirates completed one of the best gridiron seasons in the school’s history. Their battle ribbons are the cuts and bruises caused by the enemy. Though they wn their laurels the hard way, the Pirates set some school records in the battles.The rousing I4.3-20 victory over Ashley gave Pirate Petefs heroes the most points ever scored by any of his boys In eleven man football, and their six-win record was the best ever brought home In the history of LHS. Let go of me! 29 Wrong man?

Leola came out victorious in one out of two meetings with its highly re- garded and old rivals,Eureka, and beat another rival, Ip- swich, in two regular season games to make Coach Kretch- manfs first year as head coach a success in itself. Leola lost three of the four last games as Aberdeen beat them for the second time and dropped the Pirates Into third place in the final N.C.C. standings.
