J ins 8, Loses Slmpsfm Calls Signals fOr Waggener- Jackson goes after Westport s Baltzell Against arch-rival Waggener, Lonesomeis boys ran into trouble, heap big trouble, and fell for the first time of the year to a team of fired-up Wildcats. Riding a 12-2 halftime lead, We lost steam and Went on to lose the game by a score of 22-12. The next game was only more of the same story as Seneca was dealt defeat number two by the Eastern Eagles, 33-7. Not to be disheartened by two losses in a row, We bounced back to hand Durrett its biggest setback of the year by a score of 26-6. Our ninth contest of the year found our opposition to be the Thomas Jefferson Patriots, our always troublesome next-door neighbors. The Redskins really shined that night as quarterback Ronnie Rogers and halfback Scotty Hunt'did a spectacular job of leading the team to a 26-0 victory, the seventh of the season. ln the final game of the 1966 season, Fern Creek fell by a score of 12-7, wrapping up another year for Lonesome's troops. The ,Skins compiled an 3-2 won-lost record, the best in the county, and one that any team any year could look back on and point to with pride. Nowhere this time.

K Football Tea Jackson Meets Westport wall. WiXS0I1 PiCkS UP 3 Ulugh Yard- Best coaching staff in the state. Come late summer of every year, anyone wandering around the grounds of Seneca High School would surely find some activity going on, no matter what time of day, and that is the task of preparing for another football season. Coach Ron Cain and his squad begin work in early August, and this year was no different from any other. The team was molded into a powerful unit and was ready when September finally came, after many long, long hours of hard work. Opening the season against a highly regarded Pleasure Ridge Park, the 'Skins put on one of the most spectacular offensive displays in the school's history downing the Panthers by an overwhelming score of 52-19. Led by Hiroshio Sherrell, George Colbert, and sophomore Carey Eaves, the Redskins ran the opposition off the field. In their next three games the powerful Redskins beat Southern by a score of 4-0-0,, edged Westport 33-21, and destroyed Butler 33-6 for victory number four. Game number five found the Redskins playing host to Fairdale. This was the traditional Homecoming game, but the weather inter- fered and the field was not in condition for the halftime ceremonies. However, the game went on as scheduled, mud or no mud, and the Red- skins made it five in a row. Crutcher and Colbert cover Westport end. And the rains came
