QEOMQZZ SWL! of H55 lJ.YYLWlQYy of fflC giioffnaff SeaSOYt The football team of Tompkinsville High School during the 1953 season was confronted with three main obstacles: The hardest schedule in the history of the school, the confusion that always exists when there is a change in the coaching staff, and the changing of offensive formations, The team started slowly due to a large number of the squad sustaining injuries, but improved with leaps and bounds as the season progressed and was voted by the conference coaches as the strongest team in the conference at the close of the season, The team lost only one conference game and placed second in the conference standings of the nine conference members that play football, This ye-2r'S team Dickenson System Rating was almost two percentage points higher than last year's team rating which won the con- ference title for Tompkinsville High School, Paul Smith and Jim Proffitt were placed on the All-Conference team with Bobby Ray, Bill Harlan and Herman Hammer being placed on the Honorable Mention list, Paul Smith also made the All-State second team and signed a grant-in-aid scholarship to play football for the University of Kentucky, Other members of the squad were being sought after by various colleges and universities offering football scholarships at the time this article was written, Coach Reid V, Williams is proud of this year's team, He wishes to thank Coach Marrs and Coach Petett for their valuable aid, both on the field and for their detailed and accurate scouting reports, He also wishes to thank the faculty for its excellent co-operation and the student body for its unquenchable spirit. The team this year acquitted themselves well. The coaching staff thinks that next year's team will play with all thfdetermination, spirit, and courage that has been indigenous of Tompkinsville High School teams down through the years, We will face defeat with dignity, And victory with humility!
