Thi scrapping group was in the City League, composed of five other eighth grade teams. Although the line was light, averaging 120 pounds, they held back their biggest rivals, St. Elmo, to a 0-0 tie in their first clash and were able to down them in the second meet, 7-0. The Baker game ended in defeat for the squad, but Baker received a scare when Jimmy Ward made 50 yards from an intercepted pass. The power of fast halfback, Gary Coulter, was a force few teams were capable of stopping. Support came from the other halfback, Carl King, and this determined team was assured by a line of center David Reddick, tackle Lee Byrd and guards Bill Gordy and Ronald Yar– brough. Ends Larry Gaither and Jimmy McCosh broke loose to make a clear pass or run for quarterback Pinky Hatcher. Coach Charlie Moore trained the squad well and their eagerness will be an asset to future CHS teams.
