Coach, Friend
For the third time in as many
years, Albemarle Senior High
School is without a football
coach. Coach Will Campagna is
leaving ASHS to become an
assistant coach at Davidson
College.
At Davidson, Coach Cam
pagna will be in charge of the
offensive backs and split ends.
Recruiting is one of the most
important functions of a college
football coach, and Coach
Campagna will undoubtedly do a
lot of traveling in order to
persuade the nation’s top foot
ball prospects to attend the
Wildcat campus.
Coach Campagna stated that
he was pleased with the effort of
the Bulldogs during the past
gridiron season even though they
were outweighed and out-
manned in almost every game.
Albemarle was looking for
ward to many winning seasons
under Coach Campagna, but the
Bulldogs’ main task now is to
find someone with the same
determination and drive to lead
them into battle next year.
We wish Coach Campagna the
best of luck and success in his
new position. Success will
always follow a man with his
sincerity and devotion.

Mrs. Gehring commented on

really had ‘red carpet treatment’
since we were greeted by Vice-
Chancellor McEniry, who spoke
to us about the past, present and
future of UNC-C”.
