Redskins get it together before kickoff. A touchdown saving tackle. Seneca 34 Trinity 26 The night, October 29, 1971, was filled with an air of excitement as the kickoff ap- proached. This was the last game of Sen- eca ' s regular season, and also the last game on the home gound for the seniors. Seneca was out to avenge its 1968 defeat by Trinity in the State Championship. Seneca led throughout the first half, and as the squad left, the score stood at 28-6. However, the second half was entirely different . Trinity proved to be determined opponents as they scored 20 points to Seneca ' s 6. With the win, the Redskins were headed to the Fairgrounds for the County East Cham- pionship. Redskins watch as another victim leaves the field. Thomas Jefferson 35 Seneca 14 After winning their respective districts, the stage was set for the game of the year. T.J. , with a 9-0 record, faced our Seneca Redskins with a 9-1 record. The Redskins ' only setback was against T.J. earlier in the season. The spirit was high for both teams as 9,000 fans packed into Fairgrounds Stad- ium. After a scoreless first quarter, T.J. jumped out to a 14-0 lead at halftime on touchdowns by Mike Northington, who was the leading rusher for the Patriots. Leo Nathanson, Seneca ' s top scorer, separated his shoulder the first time Seneca had the ball, hurting the Redskin offense considerably. Gary Brewer ran the ball only twice the first half, but became the workhorse in the second half. He carried the ball 20 times for 100 yards during the game. The Redskins scored on two 63 yard drives in the last two quarters. Brewer wrapped up both drives with runs of six yards, while T.J. cashed in on three Sen- eca errors. Thus the struggle to the top was cut short, and the season came to a close. The Big D holds opponents to minimal scores.

The 1971 Seneca Cross Country Team iff W ?c ' ' ' ' ?vr ■•■• •■■ ' ' ■ «i.- ■■ :■■ ' ' ■.- T Cross Country Set back by graduation, the Cross Country team ended the season with a 1-9 record. Although not of champion- ship calibre, the squad still finished sixth in the district. While the team didn ' t qualify for the State, Rick Akam did and he finished with a very promising 11th place. With the runners that are return- ing and with the capable supervision of Coach Jackson, the team has great odds of improving their records. FRED SMOCK JOHN THOMAS RONNIE ALLEN
