Football Banquet '66 You've got the right idea, only put your elbow on the table. Coach Fisher reviews the progress of the J.V. squad. Guest speaker, All-American football player, Indian Joe Guyon. HAROLD BABB-Best J.V. Back of the Year Trophy. The Seneca Football and Cross-Country banquet was held on November 15, 1966, in the large cafeteria. Attending the festivities were honored guests, Seneca's administrative staff, and the Football and Cross-Country coaching staff. Other invited guests included the Drill Corps, J.V. and Varsity cheer- leaders, and, of course, the J.V. and Varsity Football and Cross-Country squads. After an excellent dinner, the program opened with an in- spiring talk given by a most distinguished gentleman. He was Chippewa Indian, Joe Guyon, former All-American Football star at Carlisle University and Georgia Tech, and a member of the Louisville Colonels professional baseball team for a num- ber of years. His speech was centered arqund many of the re- warding experiences he had attained while competing in foot- ball at Carlisle University fPa.l with another great Indian athlete, Jim Thorpe. The banquet continued with introductions of the Freshmen, J.V., and Varsity Cross-Country teams by Coach James Amett. This was immediately followed by the moment of the evening that everyone had been waiting for, the presentation of Sen- eca's mighty football units. Coaches Fisher, Rankin, and Wil- liams took part in introducing the Junior Varsity boys, and trophies were awarded to outstanding back of the year, Harold Babb, and outstanding lineman, Glenn Bruccheri. Chief of the Seneca tribe, Coach Ron Cain, then proceeded to the platform to perform the Varsity introductions. Short comments were made about each player's achievements during the year and Mr. Cain's plans for the 1967 football campaign were revealed. He added that although his squad did have the best record in the County in 1966, we did not win the championship, and whatever it took to accomplish this feat in 1967, the Redskins would find the proper formula in nothing less than hard work. Individual trophies were awarded to the best Sophomore back, Carey Eaves, best Junior back, Bobby Wixon, best Junior lineman, John Marcum, best Senior back, Hiroshio Sherrell, best Senior lineman, Mike Weldon, and most valuable player, Ronnie Rogers. All of this made a highly enjoyable evening as was reflected in the beaming faces of many proud parents. x Q l iq IJ? r .... HIROSHIO SHERRELL- Best Senior Back of the Year Award.

Kneeling Coach Creamer, Coach Unseld, Coach Young. During the past seven years, the words basketball and Seneca have become synonymous in the State of Kentucky. Somehow, Lonesome always comes up with an exceptional tea.rn and this year was no different from the rest. Coach Eddie Creamer, in his first year at the helm of the Redskins, Coach Noble Young and Coach George Unseld directed the team to eight victories in the first eight games, and the Redskins were ranked as the number one team in Kentucky for the first time in three years. One of the youngest teams in Kentucky, the Redskins boast four sophomores, six juniors, and five seniors. Although lack- ing experience, the team made up for this through hustle and desire. The 'Skins were also the most powerful offensive unit in the region, averaging over seventy points a game. Of these seventy points, the four sophomores combined for an average of forty-eight points a game. Not to be disheartened after losing two games, the team finished strong in winning game after game to compile one of the finest records in Seneca,s short but eventful history. Ni ii. COACH EDDIE CR EAMER
