lUma4fBelum6Tha The success of a football team often depends on the master minds behind the framework of the players. Many games are won and lost because one team has been out-coached by the other. Dynas- ties and winning programs, which range from 9th Grade to Varsity competition, are built around the attitudes of a winner, the nucleus of football knowledge presented by the coaching staff. The Rockdale County football program is on the upswing. The variance in playing ability of athletes from school to school is not great. This difference in a winning program and a losing one is in the coaching staff and community support. Rockdale County fans and players are very indebted to an out- standing coaching staff in Tom Jones, Head Coach, John Sprague and Randolph Barksdale, Varsity Defensive and Offen- sive co-ordinators, Larry Ballard and Gene Taylor, B-Team, Bill Edwards and Mike Hall, 9th Grade.

Team Physician, Emile Abbott If one team deserves the title of Arch Rival of the R.C.H.S. Bulldogs, it's the Newnan Cougars. When the two get together it's always a Dog fight. Well, the Cougars had been up to their old tricks again in '77, but it was time for all the foolishness to end. ln the first half Newnan ran a grand total of thirteen plays, how- ever, they had a 21-O halftime lead. The Dogs came out the second half, and before Newnan even knew what hap- pened, the Dogs had pulled out a 28-21 thriller that will be remembered by many as the best game ever played at Rockdale Stadium. It was a spectacular night in the hearts of the seniors who played their last home football game, and it was a glorious victory in the souls of every coach. 158 Football This was a night that will always be remembered - Rockdale 28 - Newnan 21. This was it. In all probability this would be the last game for some twenty R.C.H.S. seniors. The foe was the R. E. Lee Rebels, a tough, well-disciplined team. R. E. Lee jumped out to an early 3-O lead, but by halftime the Dogs led 14-3 on touchdowns by Scott Ragsdale and Danny Mann. The team was inspired, yet not on fire. In the second half, however, the Dogs domi- nated completely. The final score was 28- 17, and when LaGrange whipped Jones- boro the next night the season reached its finale. Team Chaplain, Max Corbin
