Smackover Buckaroos Aim for Strong 4AA Season
Star Sportswriter Ralph Bouton previews the Smackover Buckaroos in 4AA, with Coach James Lemley leading a veteran squad of eleven lettermen. Holloway stands out as an All-State quarterback candidate, backed by a backfield including Ennis Biggers Barry Butler and Martin Phillips. A new pass receiver is needed to replace Del Asinger, a top miler, as the line must hold with eight returners from last year.
