lUlHHHll IHHI Looking back into the fall of the year 1951 brings back some wonderful and some unpleasant memories of the powerful and spirited grid machine that represented Randolph High School. It will definitely have to be said that this was one of the best teams that ever wore the Green and White for Randolph High. After several weeks of gruelling practice under head coach Don Barger, and his very able assistants, Gene Cultice and Bill Yensel, on September 14, the 'Cats ven- tured forth to Tipp City in quest of their initial victory of the season. The Red Devils had beaten the Bobcats for three consecutive seasons, but this was not their year. Randolph built up a 27-0 halftime lead and ended up by steamrolling Tipp 34-0. The following Friday saw arch rival Brookville come to town to help the Bob- cats open their home season. It also opened the defense of Randolph's Co-Little Buck- eye League crown shared the previous season with Beavercreek. Brookville was the only league team to beat Randolph in 1950. The Bobcats were not to be denied this season, however, and rolled to a 20-6 conquest over the Blue Devils. Beavercreek's Beavers came to town next and the 'Cars went all out to nudge Beaver for their third consecutive victory. Next came one of the greatest victories in Bobcat history as they traveled to Fairborn to engage that city's Class A Flyers. Fairborn was one of the powers of the Little Six League this season. Fairborn scored a quick touchdown to lead 7-0 at the first quarter's end. The 'Cats powered back with a TD to make it 7-7 at the halftime. In the second half the 'Cats rolled to a 26-14 triumph over the flyers going away. The pigskin was again inches from Fairborn's goal as the game ended. The week following the Fairborn game the Bobcats came home to engage Jef- ferson in the annual Homecoming game. The 'Cats rolled from their slim 12-6 first period lead to a rousing 39-13 victory. Then the roof fell in on the ambitious Bob- cats. Vandalia-Butler, always a thorn in the side of Randolph, came to town on the following week and gave the 'Cats their first loss in six games, a stunning 25-14 re- versal. Butler ran roughshod in the second quarter to overcome a 7-6 Randolph lead, scoring three touchdowns to post a 25-7 halftime lead. The 'Cats came back in the second half and played very aggressive football, holding the Aviators scoreless, but they could not make up the deficit. Butler's well-played first half outdid the Bobcats comeback bid. This was the last Randolph home game of the season. On the following Thursday the Bobcats, unbeaten in league play, traveled to Trotwood Madison to engage the Rams, likewise undefeated in league play, in a game that had direct bearing on the outcome of the league race. Madison controlled play almost entirely throughout the game, but they couldn't increase their 7-0 half- time lead and the game was quickly coming to an end when Randolph tied it up 7-7. Madison then took the ball and marched relentlessly down the field. The drive capped by Butch Brown's fourth down scoring thrust defeated Randolph 13-7 and clinched Madison's first Little Buckeye League Crown. The next two weeks saw the Bobcats on the rebound and they ended the season on a highly successful note. First they traveled to Centerville on the blizzardly Novem- ber night. Ernie Schultheis got things going the right way for Randolph by running back the game's opening kickoff for a touchdown. This paved the way to a 36-0 rout of the Elks. The following week the 'Cats traveled to Germantown and ended the season by drubbing the Cardinals' 47-7. This was only the second time in six seasons that the Bobcats haven't had at least a share of the Little Buckeye League crown, Randolph placed second behind Madison and Jefferson rode home in third. The Bobcats' record through the years has been a very admirable one. This season's seven won and two lost record is a great credit to our hard-playing 1951 squad.
