How 'Bout Them Dull? No! Not this year. Al- though few of the games were close last year, nothing com- pares to the thrill of an 7-3 sea- son, and a spot in the Confer- ence lV-3A play-off's. The sea- son started off with a loss to Winnsboro, the next seven games were victories! Aiken High, being our next opponent, was leading at the half. With 1:09 left in the third quarter and the score 7-3, Raymond Roundtree took the ball in for six more points. Richard Smith added two extra points with the conversion, giving us the first inter-city rivalry championship. The next game saw us on the road against Ridge Spring - Monetta. After a bad first half, the team regained its compo- sure to beat the Trojans 29-6. Our next opponent was the first conference game - C.A. Johnson, a Columbia power- house. Traveling to Bolden Sta- dium, we whipped C.A. John- son handily, 25-0. A.C. Flora, who beat us by only one point Tho oughb eds! last year, faced a much im- proved team, which the score showed, 26-8. We traveled to Newberry Bulldog territory and assistant coach, Bert Smith, was the hero of this game. He called for a quick kick in the last nine minutes of the game. We won 24-93 our third confer- ence victory. By the Homecom- ing Game we had a 5-1 record. After the excitement had set- tled, and the litter from a-pack- and-a-half-of-Rolaids game had settled, we were on our way L A M ...

We beat Strom Thurmond, 28-O, giving us a place in the Conference play- off's. Batesburg-Leesville, how- ever, put a halt to our quest for our first Conference champion- ship. The game was a tear-jerk- ing 6-7 loss. For a team who was 2-7 one year ago, to turn around and compile an 7-2 sea- son and go to the State play- off's, the only way we can ex- press our pride is to say, Go Thoroughbreds! Aaron Counts and Alvin Lloyd race to catch an A.C. Flora player. Varsity Footballf 129
