Some 24 boys .greeted Coach
King when he tooted bis whistle
last Monday for the opening of

enthusiasm that Valley View
•‘railbirds’'! were high in spirit
after watching the work.
King, in an effort to really
mold tile club into a title con-
tender in District 10-B competi-
tion, has announced a pair of
scrimmage sessions with Pilot
Point before the Eagles blow the
lid off the 1951 season in a Sept.
9 tussle with the Gainesville B
team.
Tommy Turner. 155-pound All
District player with the ’Eagles
last year, did almost everything
offensively for the club and his
utstanding performance drew
ve: even though his club suf-
fered a lopsided setback. The
speedy, shifty triple threat ace
wil be back to carry the Eagle
colors again this year and Coach
King is due to again build his
club around him.
Hubert and Herbert Haynie- -
140 pounders -Owen Lee Chris-
tian. Don Hobbs, John Fortenber-
ry. Gerald Christian and 155
pound Franklin Bennie are other
hacks out for the Eagle squad.
Bennie, the Haynie twins and
Christian have shown improve-
ment already in work and the of-
fencive power of the Eagles may
be hard to handle this year in
piays Irom a single wing and
spread formations.
Other team prospects this year
include: ends, Kenneth Martin
(180), Kenneth Smith (160), Dee
Carson and Jim Cloer; tackles,
Wilford Neu. Gary Don Wilson,
Connie Mask (200) and Bobby
Masten (200); guards, Royce Wil-
kerson (185), C. L. Johnson (165).
Mike Harris, Jim Clark and Les
lie Clampitt and centers, Leroy
Cupper, Bill Terry (155) and Jer-
ry Young.
Fourteen boys on the roster
are lettermen and it is not hard
to believe that the Eagles will
reap some revenge on several of
the 10-B foes that toppled them
so heavily last year.
