And Their Coaches A LEFT TO RIGHT: Assistant Coach: David Thompson; Head Coach: Mickey Walker; Line Coach: Jim Stout. THE 1966 GRIDIRON On a sunny August 15, 45 prospective football players met together at Western and began a practice which formally commenced the 1966 football season. Two practice sessions continued daily for the next 2 1 2 weeks. These high spirited practices were held under the direction of head coach Mickey Walker and his assistants Jim Stout and David Thompson. During the break between the hot practices, the team ' s spirits were refreshed by a meal prepared by the cafeteria staff and sponsored by the Booster ' s Club. On the first Friday in September the mighty Warriors did battle with their first opponent, Southern. Western fought a hard battle before succumbing 20-0 to the Confederates. Backs Larry Lunsford and Danny Barnett and end Tommy Ayers led the offense, while Cody Ellington sparked the defense by recovering two fumbles. Gritting their teeth, the Warriors bore down and fought gallantly before the Ragsdale Tigers barely eeked out a 9-3 victory to hand Western its second defeat of the season. Kicking specialist John Pruette scored Western ' s only points by booting a 30 yard field goal through the uprights. James Wallace paced Western ' s running attack behind the aggressive blocking of tackle Bill Cole. Once again on the road the Warriors lost to arch-rival Graham by a score of 34-7. Western ' s only score came on a 45 yard bomb” from Steve Cates to end Tommy Ayers. Phil Bolton, Donald Cowan, and Bill Cole were the leaders on defense. In their fourth outing of the season the mighty Warriors defeated the Northwest Vikings by a score of 19-7. Larry Lunsford scored twice and James Wallace once to spearhead the team ' s effort. Standouts on defense were Tom Frissell and Donald Cowan. Early in October, the Warriors sustained another loss at the hands of a powerful Guilford team. The final score was 21-0, with Western ' s second team playing a majority of the game. The following week Western was upset by a scrappy Gibsonville eleven. Thirty-two to six was the score as Steve Gilliam hit Larry Lunsford on a scoring pass to rack up the visitor ' s only score. Danny Barnett provided the running spark while Phil Bolton starred on defense. Western suffered its sixth defeat by bowing to the Eastern Eagles with a score of 39-6. Western ' s offense was led by Larry Lunsford who scored the only touchdown. Robin Woody, Jeff Felshaw, Phil Bolton, and Dennis West were the workhorses on defense. Again on the road, the Warriors were outplayed by the Northeast Rams. Even with a score of 41-7, Western refused to give up as Larry Lunsford, who scored once, and Jeff Felshaw paced the offense. Danny Barnett played a fine defensive game. On a chilly night at Southeast Guilford, the Warriors fought to a 13-13 deadlock with the host team. Both Jeff Felshaw and Larry Lunsford scored as Western put up a hard fight. Robin Woody, Bill Cole, Phil Bolton, and Jeff Felshaw were stalwarts in preventing opponent scoring. In the final game of the season, the Warriors rolled up a 20-6 victory over the Madison-Mayodan Falcons. Both James Wallace and Larry Lunsford scored on offense while Danny Barnett intercepted a deflected pass and raced to pay¬ dirt. Steve Gilliam was also a standout on offense. Barry Corbett, Bill Cole, and Danny Barnett provided the defensive spark. Although the team was rebuilding this season, they did well to collect a 2-7-1 record. This season will be one re¬ membered for its team and school spirit and the team ' s unshakable determination.
