Magic Moments At the end of each year Lonesome adds great teams and stars to his list of Magic Moments. Seneca sports of 1965-66 have provided their share of such memorable occasions. Last spring Lonesome had three very successful teams in baseball, golf, and track. The baseball team compiled a 12-5 season, headed by Charlie Petry with an .818 batting average. Phil Armbru- ster led the golf team to a near state victory. The disappointing moment was the loss by one point on an extra hole in state playoff. The track team was composed of many champions. Lou Unseld placed third in the shot put event at the state meet, and Phil Thompson won first place in broad jumping at the Pleasure Ridge Park Invitational. Pole-vaulting records of eleven feet were set by Tom Martin and Marshal Lawrence. The wrestling team placed third in the Falls City Invitational and fifth in the state. Stars such as Dean Williams and Greg Karem led the team to honors. Madge Prince, a member of the girls' track team, showed her great ability by placing second in the 70 yard dash in the Mason-Dixon games. Seneca sports reflect the Verity in Henry Beecheris statement which applies to all attempts in life- Victories that are cheap are cheap, after the result of hard fightingf' Heading the list is football. This year Lonesome's team became the first Jefferson County squad to ever win the State AAA championship. The re- warding moment came when Seneca upset number- one rated Flaget by a score of 13-12, with Charlie Petry scoring all thirteen points. However, the de- cisive moment occurred in Seneca's grueling battle with Thomas Jefferson, when Seneca's claim for the East District Championship rested upon the tie- breaking extra point. The final score was 7-6. Another victory was claimed when Seneca's end, Phil Thompson, received All-American honors. Karem, Thompson, and Garrison also were award- ed All-State recognition. , Q Q .1,l, V fl Van f-'rf ' it Q i.

Larry Trunnell played his fourth colorful year in varsity basketball, proving to be a great asset to the team. The fall sports, wrestling and cross country, have many titles to show for their work. In cross coun- try the team produced county medal winner Ken Moyer, who had the assistance of Bill Lesak. those only are worth having which come

In Appreciation Coach Ron Cain Our Seneca football teams have known nothing but suc- cess since Mr. Cain brought his tremendous C o a c h i n g ability to the home of the Redskins. In the four years the team has been under his guidance, Seneca has won two titles, East District champions in 1962 and Ken- tucky State AAA champions of the 1965 season. Coach Cain has added some most impressive statistics to the Redskin's Totem Pole, thirty one games won, seven lost, and one tied for a whopping .816 percentage. Only four teams, Valley. Eastern, Wag- gener, and Pleasure Ridge have defeated his Redskin gridiron braves. The boys on the team not only have a deeper under- standing of teamwork and cooperation, but also a great deal of admiration and re- spect for the man who in- stilled these qualities in them. The school, as well as the team, has reacted to Mr. Cain's determination, supply- ing a surging support of stu- dent spirit that would not be denied Victory. The interest of our entire state has been focused on Senecais team and its coaching staff which has been called one of the best. For these many things my tribe is grateful, Coach Cain, and in their behalf, I thank you Sincerely, Lonesome I93
