Rosenwald High School - Torch Yearbook (Harlan, KY)

i SPORTS This year Rosenwald ' s team numbered twenty-four. It had speed, power, and that will to go on. Strong teams such as Lynch, Lancaster, Lafollette, and Hazard fell before the power of the Red Devils. Only Benham and Midcdesboro were successful in tying us. The Devils flashed a strong defense in holding its opponents to a single touch down, that being accomplished by Lafollette. Due to the fact of not playing enough conference games the Cumberland Valley Conference title was not won, but Harlan was lucky in placing four men on the all-Conference team. They were Richard Morris (guard), Sidney Prince, (tackle) George Washington, (halfback) Norman Morris, (center). Keep the good work up boys! SCHEDULE Harlan 0 Middlesboro 0 Harlan 46 Hazard 0 Harlan 9 » Lynch 0 Harlan 0 Benham 0 Harlan 14 Lancaster 0 (Homecoming) Harlan 18 ' Lafollette 6 For the first time in history Rosenwald is able to send forth a basketball team to challenge other teams. Although this team was a court yard team instead of a hardwood team, it gave a good account of itself in several games, going through the regular season without winning a game. They gave a good account of themselves in the tournament when they lost to Pineville in an over-time period by two points. This game left a great impression on the minds of the public. For this moral victory Rosenwala was able to place two men on the all-tournament team, Lawrence McKinley (first team guard) and John Hale (guard) on the second team. Look forward to a better showing next year.
