Try as they may, they couldn't hold the powerful line which kept continually hitting them. Although badly defeated the Ridgley eleven never stopped fighting. For that, we salute you, Ridgley. . Scoring touchdowns: Connelly --------- 12 points Headden----- -- 6 points Simmons--- -- 1 point Brooks--- -- 1 point McKenzie, Tennessee--October 17, 1941 Confidentially, McKenzie defeated Dresden by the glorious score of 19-O. We were all hoping and praying for this game to come around. You all know what happened last year. Dresden defeated us with their one-man team by a large score. We1l,we want- ed to settle that little grudge and, boy, did we settle it! The Nalmighty' Esch made exactly one first down and if I'm not mistaken, Buckeley made one. We ran over them, around them, and through them, and all they could do was grin and bear it. Huntingdon, Tennessee--October 24, 1941 The Rebels defeated Huntingdon, our worse foe, by the score of 20-O. This was to determine the county championship, which, of course, we won. With out much competition, the Rebels literally trampled the Mustangs in the ground. As far as excitement was concerned, there wasn't any.

4 esting. Of course Huntingdon is always a hard game for us--that is, until last year. I really' felt sorry for those boys who were trying to play foot- ball. Remember, I said trying. Scoring touchdowns: Simmons ---------- 6 points Cozart--- ---- 7 points Pratt---u ---- 6 points Brooks--- ---- l point Martin, Tennessee--October Bl, 1941 Although the weather was bad and there was some talk of calling the game off, it started about an hour late. Playing in mud and water ankle deep,the Rebels defeated Martin 12-2. Martin scored in the first period of the game when Moseley fumbled the slick ball on a punt. Martin came back, scoring the saf- ety with confidence of winning the ball game, but they were to be sadly disappointed because from then on there was but one team on the field, and that was the McKenzie Rebels. Through mud, slush and rain, the Rebels land- slided Martin in an un-forgettable victory. Scoring touchdowns: Moseley ---------- 6 points Connelly--- ---6 points McKenzie, Tennessee--November 7, l9Ml
