PATRIOTS' RECORD BEST YET The Patrick Henry football team ended the i965 season with sec- ond place in the Western District and the school scoring record of 38 points gained in 7 wins, l loss, and 2 ties. Coach Light called this the finest team and the best group of seniors he had ever coached. The team was a strong contender to be rated as best in the state. The Patriots opened with a smarting l3-6 defeat at the hands of defending state champions, An- drew Lewis. Only an intercepted pass in the end zone in the closing minutes of the contest saved this game for the Wolverines. The Patriots' first win, l8-O, the fol- lowing week against Jefferson was highlighted by Bob Slaughter's lOl yard return of a pass inter- ception. The next effort was one of the team's finest, but in spite of the Patriots' threats to score on numerous occasions, the game ended in a scoreless tie with high- ranking Lane of Charlottesville. 40 Victories over Fleming and Grundy followed in the next two weeks. The margin over Grundy was secured when linebacker Larry Ronk raced 3l yards on a blocked punt. The team returned home to take on the state's eighth-ranked team, the Richlands Blue Torna- does, in a hard-fought l3-7 win for the Patriots. It was at this point that PH reached its peak, the greatest vic- tory of the season-a 27-l3 win over George Washington of Dan- ville came the following week. This brought a showdown with E. C. Glass for the district crown. Unfortunately, a muddy field and a fumble after crossing the goal line which was ruled no touch- down prohibited the Patriots from salvaging anything but a O-O tie. The season concluded with a 27-6 romp over Northside and a resounding 38-O victory over Pat- rick Henry of Ashland.
