I 'na 1 .1-,- ., --av 5 To open the season, Rebels traveled to Lubbock to take on the Westerners. During the first half of the game, the Maroon Platoon powered its way from a ten point deficit to score four more touchdowns to win the game. On September 12, the Rebs played a great defense against the fired-up Snyder Tigers. After the smoke cleared, LHS chalked up its second big win.. Plainview's visit to Rebeland marked the close of a non-district play for the Rebel grid- ders as the Rebs were slipped another win. When Lee and Odessa met at Barrett Sta- dium, they were the only two undefeated teams in 5-AAAA. Again our Rebs proved themselves when .they blasted over the Bronchos. The Lee Rebels suffered their first defeat to the San Angelo Bobcats. Due to costly mis- takes in .the second half, the Bobcats took a commanding lead that the Rebels were un- able to overcome. Lee,s hopes for another chance at district champs were all but shattered by Abilene. With the loss to Cooper, the Rebels dropped to 1-2 in the district race. Lee's Clyde Gary accounted for all of Leeis touchdowns when the Rebels took on the Big Spring Steers. Lee moved to 2-2 in the district when they defeated the Steers. VVhen the Rebels and the Panthers met in Odessa, it was a tough battle all the way. Both teams were scoreless until the end of the third quarter when Permian -slipped by and scored a touchdown. Later in the fourth quar- ter they were able to add a field goal to win over the Rebels. The Eagles were let down as Lee defeated them by a score of 14-7. Lee's first score of the night came on a one-yard play by Bobby Humble. The 1975 game between the two Crosstown rivals proved to be a tough defensive battle that resulted in a tie for the second year in a row. Our Mighty Maroon Platoon chalks up another victory.

Influencing skill and endurance, pride and unlimited spirit, the fearless stormed forward to unite Lee. Sharing elated triumph and forlorn defeat, the student body began evoking an intense spirit of union. For six long months, 64 young men devoted most of their time running, watching old films and lifting weights, spend- ing endless hours practicing, just to represent Lee High School throughout the district. These young men,.together with Coach Acree and his assistants, formed the mighty Ma- roon Platoon. Each opponent realized the Maroon Platoon was a tuff team to handle. The Rebels ended the season with a 6-3-1 record, which, we are proud to say, represented Lee High School very well. This page: Rebel men at work and at play.
