EBGLES WIND UP FINE GRID YEAR The Valley View Eagles concluded one of the most suc- cesful grid seasons ever marked up by a team from our school, going through the football season without a single loss. The Eagles, coached by Walt McCord, held victories over Sanger, Lewisville, Era, Alvord, Gainesville Cubs, and Denton 'Bn teams. Two ties marred a perfect record, deadlocks hav- ing been played with Boyd and Frisco. The Eagles chalked up this enviable record despite this year's small squad and the fact that Valley View is the small est school in the district. This is the first time in Valley View's history that the Eagles have gone through a season undefeated.
