Head coach for the junior team was Joe Thomp son. Coaches for the senior team were Chico Lilly and Tim Thurs ton. Coaches for the junior team were David Harwood and Michael Harwood.

I David Moose Kenneth Russell Football Field Gets Face-Lift By JANET EFIRD Renovation of the football field will be underway very soon. Presently, the field has poor soil, which results in little grass and many weeds. The long range goal of the project is to create a field with rich, fertile soil. The new field will be able to support healthy grass and remain green throughout the football season. Bill Moore, a contractor, has been hired to do the work. The first task will be discing the field. Next, twenty-five loads of river bottom sand will be spread over the field. This new soil is rich in nutrients and fairly inexpensive. The field will be sloped and crowned and allowed to settle over the winter. A tentative date of May has been set for the next step of the project to begin. The field will be sprayed with broad leaf killers to prevent the growth of weeds and foreign types of grass. Bermuda grass will then be sown on the field. Berniuda grass is durable, has a brilliant green color, and will last much longer than most types of grass. Although the football field will be greatly improved, complica tions will arise. Mr. Taylor com mented, “We do not know how much the renovation will cost, or what arrangements will be made for Spring Track.” The Track teams will not be able to use the field for meets or practice. Therefore, the discus event must be eliminated. The track may be used for running events though.
