McKinney's Bearcat Football Beat Down By Equipment Shortage
On opening day of the 1946 season at Grafton High, Coach Rand McKinney faced a severe equipment shortage that limited uniforms to about forty players from an initial sixty. Only one heavyweight, De Barr from Prunty Town, appeared among a light backfield, with several larger players unavailable. Despite early conditioning work, McKinney expected relief soon as overdue gear arrives, while the squad prepares for a slate beginning September 6 against Bridgeport Indians and continuing with Shinnston, Washington-Irving, and Sutton.
