Junior Vorsify wins 5 in becoming Western Conference Champions Once again the Baby Knights upheld their proud tradition of being No. 1, winning the Western Conference cham- pionship with a record of five wins and one loss. The Knights started the season with a 14-12 victory over Plant City, then followed by soundly beating King 18-O. Alvin Holden's three scores helped the Knights to defeat Leto 26-15. Robinson traveled to Brandon to dash the Ea- gles' hopes 18-6. Stopping the string at four wins, the Plant Panthers shut out the Knights 8-0, but Robinson recovered to beat Chamberlain 12-0 in the closing game. Quarterback Chris Lucas led the balanced running and halfback Alvin Holden, the leading scorer with 42 points. Fullback Ronnie Coker and end Jimmy Williams contri- buted to the rushing yardage, and each scored several touchdowns. Holding their opponents to 41 points, the Knight defense produced turnovers to help the offense. Linebackers Ralph Branning, Herbie Allen, and Felix Cruz led the defen- sive backfieldg front four Tyronne Williams, George Buchanan, Paul Kessock, and Gregory Marshall pressured their opponents' offenses. Coaches Dick O'Brien, Tom Mahin, and Dave Best direc- ted the junior varsity team and moved fourteen players to varsity after the J.V. season.
