Head Coach Harold Keller and his staff molded a fine team which was introduced to 2A com- petition for the first time in Mathis High School his- tory. Three Pirate players--Johnny Snody, Jim Rack- ley, and Howard Stridde--were named to the 29-AA All-District team. Our coaching staff's hard work and strategic planning paid dividends as the Pirates man- aged to finish third place in district, with an overall season record of seven wins and three losses.
