Thomasville Bulldogs eye strong depth for 1974 season
Thomasville coach Allen Brown brings 19 returnees after losing 17 lettermen from the 1973 South Piedmont champions. The offensive line took the biggest hit with only one starter remaining, Kenny Staton, at tailback. Illness and injuries may affect preseason practice, but depth at several positions promises competition. Quarterback Bill Millis leads the early race, with linebackers Millis and Myers among the standouts. Richard Burton, a reserve in 1973, returns to bolster the squad.
