Bearcats Scrimmage Shows Backfield Promise and Gaps
Bearcats of Grafton High held their second scrimmage indoors on the football field yesterday evening. The first string backfield showed strength in a sixty yard touchdown run, while the second unit struggled with fumbles and center-ball issues. Players noted include Jimmy Wickham, Ranny McKinney, Tommy Haller, Charlee Thavar, Chick Bennett, Benny Poe, Dick Poe, Donnie Willis, Paul Shaffer, Cliff Sturms, Clyde DeBarr. Evaluations suggest the second team will see substantial action and the squad may match or exceed last year's balance and potential despite missing experience and weight.
