Knights . . . Line first and second quarters of the Cypress Lake game and both teams went to the locker rooms at half-time, tied, 0-0. With 7 minutes remaining in the third quarter a Red Knight fumble led to a Panther field goal. The Cypress Lake defense kept North shut down, while their of- fense managed to score late in the fourth quarter, making the scoreboard read 10-0 at the final buzzer. On their second trip into Collier County, North Fort Myers' defense again played one quarter of perfect foot- ball and held Naples to a 0-0 standoff. Then the Eagles took control and scored 22 points in the second quarter and 28 points in the third quarter, overwhelm- ing the Knights 57-8. North's only score occurred in the fourth quarter. For a clash between teacher and pupil, the Knights traveled to Punta Gorda to meet Coach Keith Goodwin's Charlotte Tarpons. Goodwin, a former Red Knight player of Hoover's, coached his team to a 14-6 victory over his Alma Wwwwxs. 1 T :1 , WE 1 e 5 1 ,. .. ,.,,, 1.1 11111 111 51 31 11 11, ' 1.1.1l1'1 11 .111:f1,11i 1 1 1 1 1 1 B 1 I, 11111 J w, X X 11 22 1 f 1 , f 5 if ff!! , X 5 I I 1 111 1 1 111 1 1 H if f 5 51 11 1111 111 11:1 1 . g1.11t' + 111t1 151 1 11, 1 111. 1 , -1- I1 11: 111111 1111 211 . .

On November 6, crowds packed the Red Knight stadium for North's an- nual Homecoming Celebration and their contest with arch rival, Fort Myers. Although the scoreboard showed the Greenies victorious 30-6, Fort Myers was later ordered by the Florida High School Activities Association to forfeit its game because of the use of an ineligi- ble player. The Cape Coral Seahawks dealt North their seventh defeat of the season, 14-0, at the new Cape High School stadium. The Big Red threatened once in the second quarter, but were shut down by a determined Seahawk defense. In their last game of the season against Riverdale, an inspired North 192 f Athletics 3 effort almost came up with a victory. North held the lead, 21-20, with 4:18 re- maining, when a fumble deep in North's territory allowed the Raiders to take control of the ball, and subsequently score the winning touchdown. North High's 2 win, 8 loss record was deceiving. Anyone who had witnessed the determination, dedication, and courage demonstrated throughout the 1981 season by the varsity squad had to be proud of these young men. They were few in number, but like knights-of- old, willing to bravely do battle for themselves and for those of us in Big Red Country. The Knights in Waiting This season the North Fort Myers' IV Football Team changed the tide of their scoring game. After losing 3 straight, the young Knights began to heed the lessons of their head coach Lavon Simms and his assistant Iames Davis, and won their final 5 games. The team, composed of freshmen and sophomores, worked hard to perfect their plays and learn the basics during daily practices. When game time arrived they concentrated on their assignments and played as a unit, putting team effort ahead of individual glory. Even when faced with the loss of a few key players due to injuries, the IV squad regrouped, adjusted, and went on winning . . . living up to the motto Red Knights ii1. fn. ,,.,.,.
