A series of injuries in both the offensive and defensive lines and just plain.bad luck were at the heart of the Raiders’ troubles. The Raiders opened the season with visiting the new comprehensive Whites Creek High School and came home with a 16-13 loss. The Raiders took a lead into halftime, but a Whites Creek comeback spoiled the McGavock hopes of opening the season with a victory.

A tough defense gave the Irish all the competition they wanted, but more tough breaks befell the McGavock squad in the second half. Father Ryan went on to post a 14-0 win.

Through 1-9 Season BOTTOM: Center Bill Sneed, Quarterback Tony Meyers, and End John Newberg listen to Coach Russell’s mid-game change of plans at Whites TOP: End Gary Loftis and Tackle Pat Smith take a breather.

The Hendersonville Commandoes invited the Raiders to homecoming. McGavocks’ defense held a good Hen- dersonville club to just seven points, but our offense couldn’t punch it in the end zone. McGavock went down 7-0. Stratford came away with a 15-8 upset win in a game played in chilly 50 degree weather, an inch of rain, and ankle-deep mud. The Spartan’s field will never be the same. Overton’s Bobcats were one of the top ten teams in the state. They showed that they deserved the ranking in a 38-12 win. The DuPont Bulldogs visited for Homecoming, but the Raiders couldn’t win for the alumni. DuPont took home a 20-8 win. McGavock closed out the season with a trip to Franklin County. The visiting Raiders never could get rolling, and Franklin County’s three field goals could not be overcome by a Tony Meyers to Paul Carney Touchdown pass. The Raiders had a long ride home following the 9-7 loss. Injuries and sickness took their toll on the Raiders front-line people. Keith Bryant and Mark McCullers had the flu. Bill Sneed, Mark Johnson, and Marty Amos missed several games with knee injuries. Bill Hockett hurt an ankle and Mike Elsbury, Jeff Jolly, and Gary Cox had muscle injuries of one kind or another. Dwayne Avington had a separated shoulder, and, last but not least, Frank Friedman broke his nose.
