Redskins' Only Loss to Rival Leon 4l-O The '72 Redskins had their best season ever this year, compiling an 8-1 record. They also captured the North West Florida Conference and District AAA champion- ships. The only loss came from rival Leon by a wallop- ing 41-0 score. All this work was useless, according to the Florida High School Activities Association executive head Nlr. Floyd Lay, who ruled that all games had to be forfeited for failure to comply with an eligibility rule on residency requirements for one player. The 'Skins started the season with an upset over the predicted District champion, Milton, 10-8. The Redskins scored in the second and third quarters, holding the powerful Milton offense to just one TD in the final seconds of the game. Two more hard wins over Palatka South 33-13 and Godby, 15-0, put the Redskins at 3-0. Then Leon put a damper on things with that 41-0 score. Getting back on the winning track, the Redskins won over Orlando Evans 14-6. The next game against Quincy Shanks was the deciding one for the District and Con- ference championships. The Redskins were down in the first half, but with some reviving came back out. Shanks scored a field goal with a little over a minute left to make the score 10-8. Then, with just seconds on the clock, senior quarterback lim Reid kicked a winning 46-yard record field goal to pull it out 11-10. The win temporarily clinched the district Two Redskin defenders go after a Leon fumble during the Rick- ards-Leon quarter of the pre-season jamboree game.
