Brewbaker Coach The three months vacation granted Lexington High School students was cut slightly short for the football squad. On August 26, about forty boys traded their cool homes for the hot, dusty athletic field. Among these bo3’s were seven lettermen: Co-Captain Herbert Brogan, Co- Captain John Faison, Forrest Walker, Bob Straub, Billv Stanley, Frank Neofotis and Bobb ' Mish. With these boys forming the nucleus of the eleven. Coach “Pete” Brewbaker had the makings of another successful football team for L. H. S. After a week of light practice in the broiling sun, the boys took on the rough work and the “Bull Pen.” After two more weeks of hard practice the “Hurricane” was ready for its first opponent. •» 3 ( 28 )■

On September 19th, the Hurricane met and trounced Strasburg in an opening game which showed the power of our team’s offense. The second team played quite a bit of ball, proving that there were some very capable reserves who were anxious to see action. The postponement of the Buena Vista game provided nearly two weeks time for much needed practice before the Hurricane met the mighty “Blue Streaks” of Harrisonburg. Under the lights of that city, October 23, Lexington lost its first game. Even though the Hurricane gained more ground and made more first downs, they had a lot of bad breaks; one of them was the loss of Neofotis, the spark of the team, at the half on account of injuries. On October 10, bouncing back from the defeat of the week before, the Hurricane “blew the wool over Luray’s eyes.” Coach “Pete” Brewbaker kept a fresh team in the game, givdng the scrubs some much needed experience, and the boys from L. H. S. chalked up another victory. Lexington played host to a hard-fighting Robert E. Lee team from Staunton on October 17. The visitors from Staunton were literally crushed by smooth plays and a powerful offense. The largest crowd this season witnessed the defeat of an unbeaten Covington team here on October 24. The Hurricane used numerous deceptive plays and passes and outplayed the “Cougars” to win the fourth game in five starts. Probably the most difficult game of the season was played with Clifton Forge, the boys across the mountain. Playing against terrible weather conditions and the opponent’s mighty passing ability on October 31, the Hurricane went down to its second defeat, although it gained more ground and completed more passes than the “Mountaineers.” The annual Armistice Day tilt, Homecoming for L. H. S., was played here against the “Little Giants” of Waynesboro on an extremely cold afternoon. With Stanley, Neofotis and Straub carrying the mail across for the counters, and with Leslie and Agnor booting and slinging the leather behind a strong and verv able line, the Hurricane rolled up the score for a triumphant “day of the year.” On November 21, the Scarlet Hurricane closed its season after ringing up a sensational victory over its oldest rival, Buena Vista. A Monogram dance was held that night in honor of the Hurricane which so gallantly upheld its name by winning six games out of eight starts and by scoring 232 points to its opponents’ 45. The excellent record of the Junior Varsity team, winning all four of its games, playing Buena Vista once, Clifton Forge once, and Natural Bridge twice, deserves quite a bit of credit. L. H. S. mourns the loss of lettermen, Co-Captain Herbert Brogan, Co-Captain John Faison, Forest Walker, Frank Neofotis, Bob Straub, Robert Mish, Earl Wilhelm and Joe Moffatt, who will leave us in June. The 1942 season will be, undoubtedly, a great success. Lettermen, Co-Captain-Elect Billy Stanley, Co-Captain-Elect George Bane, Graham Leslie, Buster Moore, Jack Davidson, “Buck” Henson, William Stewart, and Gilmore Leech, together with promising reserves from the Junior Varsity, will insure revenge for our defeats and will add to our victories.
