The seniors also played on the 1971 team that brought Rossville its first sub-region championship in many years. They achieved this by completing the season with a perfect 8-0 sub-region slate, but then lost a tough battle to West Rome 17-0 in the Region championship game played here at Rossville. Particular honors went to three year letterman Dicky Clark, who was chosen to the Atlanta Constitution ' s All State-AAA Team. He was chosen for the position of quarterback. Sometimes you just lower your head and shove as Charles Adams ' attitude demonstrates here. This action took place during the Dogs 41-0 romp over Sprayberry. 116 Varsity Football
