Ninth Graders Close With I-5 Record Ninth graders from Rickards and some eighth graders from Fairview represented Rickards in the Tallahassee Recreation Department's junior football league in a losing season which saw the team lose five while winning only one. The one win was over Florida High 14-8. The Redskins lost twice to Leon 14-20 and O-21. Godby shut out the ninth graders twice 8-O and 6-0. Florida High topped them 22-14 in the second game. Coach Mitchell Hiers thought the defense held out well considering that most of the whole line went to the jayvee team. The team -ran the ball mainly with Ken Woodson as quarterback. David Dial replaced him for the last two games when Ken injured his shoulder. Coach Ernest jones felt that penalties hurt the team all year, costing them four or five touchdowns. . . -fl -it .ZH ff 2' ,,' f-1 'f .!.. ,

The frosh cagers were led by Terry Sermon and Gerry Simmons who averaged 13 and 12 points per game, re- spectively. Ken Woodson started five games, but then moved up to the junior Varsity squad. The Baby 'Skins won three games against one loss to both FAMU and Leon. They broke even against Havana with one win and one loss, but came up on the short end against Godby with one win against three defeats.
