Gene Lewis and squad ready to whoop it up. x THE PERENNIALLY POTENT WARRIORS enjoyed only a mediocre season on the gridiron and were forced to share fourth place in the prep league standings with the South Side Scrappers, a spot unfamiliar to Central. Although the Warriors played hard every game and suffered many close, heartbreaking defeats, they did not begin to hit on all eleven cylinders until the final game with the powerful Messick Panthers. In this last game of the season, the Warriors displayed the power and finesse which had lain dormant most of the year. Their defeat of the highly touted, power-laden Messick crew was the highlight of the season.
