The team posted a 2-4 record for the year to come in third in the city behind Florida High and Leon. The 'Skins got off to a bad start by losing to Leon 34-0. Coach Mitchell H iers said the team just couldn't get going. However, they got into the scoring column in the next game against Florida High but the Demons slipped by them with a 28-14 win. Next the 'Skins took on Godby's Cougars and came up with their first win in a 14-0 game. Leon's Lions came back in the next game to darken the picture with a big 36-6 score. Hopes of bettering their re- cord dimmed again with a 28-17 loss to Florida High. Then, in the final game of the season, the 'Skins once more whipped Godby for the second time, 28-6.

Junior Varsity Football Team Has Losing The Junior Varsity football team ended its season with only one win, four losses and one tie. Despite the bad season, the whole team was given an appreciation trophy forthe 8-7 win over cross-town rival Leon. The win represented the only time a Rickards football team had beat Leon in a full-length game. The Baby Redskins later gained fame again as they played an unmatched game against the Greenville High Varsity team. Although falling in a 44-6 defeat, the 'Skins became the first team to score on Greenville during the 1971 season. In other games, the Jayvees tied a hard-fought game with Godby's Baby Cougars 20-20. The 'Skins then fell into a three-game losing streak, dropping games to Perry 28-14, Bay 26-7 and Choctawhatchee 32-8. Then came the win over Leon and the last game against Greenville. The Junior Varsity team was coached by Mr. Joe Labat and Mr. John Sodec. Junior Varsity Football Coaches Jae Labat and John Sodec watch from the sidelines, waiting to see if the team made an important first down in the game against Leon.
