The Junior High football team won one and lost four during the 1952 season. The Bobkittens defeated Centerville in their last game of the campaign. Earlier they dropped decisions to Madison, Beavercreek, Jefferson and Brookville. The games were all hard fought. Although they only won one game, the boys gained some val- uable experience that should help them very much in their varsity play. Head coach, Jack Corle, and his assistant, Jerry Haley, deserve a lot of credit for their all-out effort to make a winning team out of the Bobkittens. The efforts of the coaches and the team were not in vain. Congratulations for your hard work.
